WHAT IS INNATE INTELLIGENCE?

Innate Intelligence is the " Wisdom of the Body"

Within all living creatures is a power that creates life, develops that life and sustains life until death. This internal power is referred to as Innate Intelligence . Innate Intelligence is the power that heals you when you have a cut, it helps you fight the flu, it regulates your heart rate, blood pressure, digestive system and all functions of you body.

In the Beginning.

When does human life start? When the egg and sperm come together and settle in the womb of the mother, there is all the Intelligence necessary to create a living, breathing human being . Nothing more has to be added, no medications need to be administered and no help is required from a Doctor. These two cells will join to form one and soon it will divide into two and then four and eight and so on for approximately 280 days until a little miracle is ready to arrive in the world. At first, as the cells divide, all the tissue is exactly the same. After 6 weeks of development, the cells of the new life will start to differentiate with the first identifiable tissue being the Nervous System . The brain and the spinal cord are required first because the Innate Intelligence that is building this child needs a system through which to operate. Only when the body has a system to organise its development will the rest of the tissues begin to develop, like the heart, liver, stomach and spleen. This entire process can be happening without the mother even knowing she is pregnant.

Innate Intelligence Fact 1 - Life begins at conception!

The Innate Intelligence that created this body continues to run the body until death. If the creation of life wasn't impressive enough, there are thousands of everyday examples to demonstrate Innate Intelligence's ability to maintain life..This morning you had breakfast and what you ate will determine how your body reacts. Your body must produce the correct levels of stomach acids to begin the breakdown of the food. In order for the pancreas and gallbladder to release the correct quantity of insulin and bile respectively, the body must know the proportion of sugars to fats in the food eaten. Once this food is broken down to a point that the body can use it, it is absorbed into the blood stream and is created into living flesh and blood. If these procedures were left to your own devices, how long would you survive?

Innate Intelligence Fact 2- The apple you had for lunch yesterday is eyeball today.

Your Innate Intelligence also heals you when you get sick. No medical Doctor, Chiropractor, Naturopath or Physiotherapist ever healed anyone. Likewise, no drug or surgery has ever made you well either. Only you can heal yourself . If you don't understand, try this experiment. Cut a piece of steak and put iodine and your favourite antibiotic on the cut. Cover it with a bandage to check if it has begun to heal. Of course it hasn't because it is lacking one key ingredient - LIFE.

When you cut your flesh, the Innate Intelligence of the body automatically knows what to do. Your body will activate its healing powers to stop bleeding, create a scar and heal over with new tissue. You don't lay awake at night worrying if the cut will heal or that the cut will heal with the wrong tissue. You instinctively trust your body to do the right thing.

When you get cold your body responds by shivering to create heat and constricts your peripheral blood vessels to maintain your core temperature at a normal level. When you get hot your peripheral blood vessels will dilate and you begin to sweat to maintain a normal body temperature. This is your Innate Intelligence adapting to an ever changing environment.

Innate Intelligence Fact 3 - Only life can heal itself

The Chiropractic Approach.

Your Innate Intelligence uses the brain and Nervous System as communication network to constantly regulate the needs of the body. As long as there is no disruption to the communication lines, the body will have the best possible chance to carry out its tasks correctly. Vertebral Subluxations interfere with messages sent through the Nervous System causing the body to respond to its needs less efficiently. The body becomes more susceptible to breakdown in the form of sickness and disease. Regular Chiropractic check-ups will ensure your spine is free from Vertebral Subluxations. A spine free from Vertebral Subluxations will allow for a greater expression of your body's Innate Intelligence .

Chiropractic's goal

The purpose of chiropractic is to maintain the lines of communication (the nervous system) between the brain and the body's organs and tissues. When nerve interference exists, innate intelligence cannot regulate the body's functions any more than the power company can make your lights go on if a fuse has blown in your fuse box. If this happens in your home, you do not blame the power company or the light bulb for not working. Yet, if one of your organs stops working properly you'd blame that organ and try to "cure" it. The problem may be in the "wiring system", not in the organ.and certainly not at the source of power, for this innate intelligence is always working 100% to keep the body as close to normal as possible.

The goal of chiropractic is to eliminate the interference and to allow innate intelligence to do its intended job.

Life Force

If we look at our life from the time that we are born until the time we die, the body is in constant motion, even when at rest. The cells of our body are constantly dying and being replaced by new, healthy cells. Two and one-half million of them will die and be replaced every minute of your life. This is a normal process. Health can be defined as the ability of the body to replace the cells and tissue structures normally and consistently .

There is an innate intelligence within each of us that is far superior to our educated brain which creates and recreates us on a continual basis. In order for this process to occur, life force (mental impulse) must be flowing throughout the body to all cells and tissues. Its medium is the brain and nervous system. The innate Intelligence directs this life force to every cell and tissue of the body. When the life force is free of interference the body is at its maximum health potential. If the life force is interfered with, the body does not have the ability to recreate itself normally and disease results.
