Mechanism vs. Vitalism

It is best to view your body not as a machine that is destined to break down, but rather as an organism infused with LIFE, able to heal, regenerate, repair and thrive. In fact, it has been proven that there is no signal from your brain that will create harm to your body.
Your body is always renewing and regenerating itself – so long as the force of life is present within you. Think about it, if you cut your finger vs. a corpse’s finger, who is going to heal?
You could perform any advanced surgical procedure, put on a special cream, and nothing would allow the corpse to heal. You, however, heal from the inside-out.
Every 7 days you have a new layer of skin cells, every 24 hours you have a new intestinal lining, every 6 weeks a new liver, even your skeletal structure is being broken down and regenerated with the laying down of new cells.
Why then do we age, and our joints degenerate? The answer is simple. Due to stress and imbalance we cause uneven wear and tear, we allow toxins into our system, not feeding it the right nutrition, we have negative thought patterns and behaviors. The result is increased cell division – which causes aging. Take skin cancer – too much exposure = a lot of your body working to “heal” overtime = increased cell division = dis-ease & accelerated aging with those tissues. Take that example into any structure or organ in your body and you quickly realize how important it is to feed your body the right nutrition, to exercise with balance, to begin the process of becoming more aware of what your thought patterns and behaviors are and if they serve you.
This along with consistent chiropractic care, leads to healthier, younger acting cells being laid down in every organ and system of your body, allowing that force of life within you to do its very best at giving you the highest expression of LIFE and Vitality!
