Health come from within your body (part 2)

"The only way to stay healthy or back from a nutritional health problem is that" God gave the life force "within us.

'1

What! You mean the body has an innate intelligence, is given by God. Shocking!

Would you say that the key to health depends on the distance limits of the life force? Straight line.

Well, the limitation of the life force? It's easy - any deviation from the normal spine detected. As I mentioned in my blog from June 2008 in the back before doing "to affect postural distortions of the ability of your nervous system function optimally." Postural distortions are visible when the spine is distorted. Structure dictates function without the optimal operation is not optimal healing the body and weaken over time. Therefore, "of the abnormal structure of the spine, the results of the function of the life force 100% and you are weak. Fortunately, chiropractic care seeks corrective action of the normal alignment of the spine, the flowing energy of life enables optimal and allows the body to heal from the inside, to be restored.

My first thought was to leave this blog with the above purpose, but usually it "stew" for a day or two before posting. In this case, I considered it necessary that after the return, if you do not understand God's innate intelligence or life force, to make herewithin discussion, the construction. Consider the 9 months that occur after the union of egg and sperm and the miraculous birth of a child 9 months later. Then ask yourself what part of this process requires an intervention.

Stages Of Healing

Stages Of Healing

The body's response to injuries are predictable and depends on time and optimal functioning of the nervous system. Three steps describe the body's response to musculoskeletal injury: the acute phase of subacute and chronic.

The acute phase usually lasts 48 to 72 hours. The main characteristics of this phase are: swelling of the heat, functional limitations, pain and redness. The treatment is to relieve pain, control inflammation and support the tissues.

The subacute phase may take several weeks. This step is expected to improve the symptoms of 5% to 10% every day. The main feature of this phase is the presence of fragile, easily re-injured tissue. Accordingly, it is for someone to do "more" at this stage and return in the acute phase together. A word of warning, "keep the course!" Therefore you do not get frustrated if your pain does not disappear as quickly as I had hoped or expected.

Sometimes the recovery delayed, or incomplete, and the patient can enter the chronic phase. Chronic pain can last for years. The most important feature is the connective tissue in the form of fibrosis and adhesions to shorten.

Have you ever been curious about the healing process after cutting his fingers? What really is the cure? BAND-AID is medicine, iodine or antibiotic cream? If you think that any of these answers are correct, then you are mistaken. If you are still skeptical, you can buy a piece of meat and a cut in it. Well, a little iodine on it or an antibiotic ointment, then cover with a Band-Aid. Call me when it heals.

It is clear that the cut is not healing as containing the steak not the most important ingredient for all the healing, life! In other words, it contains this inner intelligence in all living things.

This is not the same intelligence by reading books and going to get to school. Such information is called learned a trained intelligence. I mean the instinctive intelligence and automatically enters your body. I mean the intelligence is called innate intelligence. innate functions perfectly knowing the exact needs of each second life every day.

So exactly what happens by instinct? Almost everything! Come on, when was the last time you thought the food we ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner to digest? What if you always think about your breathing or the heart? In fact, it would probably be blocked to stop breathing and die. Most people have trouble remembering something 7th I went to the grocery store. Fortunately, this is the innate intelligence to monitor and regulate all matters, regardless of our awareness of it.

The human body is composed of more than 60,000,000,000,000 cells. optimally functioning nervous system allows the innate intelligence to flow to all cells without interruption. If information is received well by the single cell to 100% to 100%. If this communication breaks down the cells begin to degenerate.

The innate intelligence is the key to healing. 100% function is equal to 100% health. It's that simple. For this reason, my goal is to correct the clinical abnormal posture and eliminate the distortions associated cord does your body what it does best - healing from within.
