Every month we are featuring one of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic that were published by Ralph W. Stephenson D.C. in 1927 in a book called “The Chiropractic Textbook”. Even today these principles are central to chiropractic. Whilst some of the language is a bit old the principles remain solid. Consider the principle of this month and discuss it with us when you visit the practice.
Here’s to a greater understanding of life and health.
Chiropractic Principle #22
The Amount of Innate intelligence.
The mission of Innate Intelligence is to maintain the material of the body of a “living thing” in active organization.
In Other Words…
Innate Intelligence is the Intelligence of living things. Every living thing possesses 100% the Intelligence it requires. It matters not that the actual quantity may vary from one living thing to another; each has a distinct requirement.
For Instance…
A worm may require a different quantity of Innate Intelligence than a monkey, but such a comparison is not needed. Each has 100% Intelligence of what it alone needs!
As Applied To You…
You possess 100% the Intelligence you need. The amount decreases, only when speaking of the amount of Intelligence expressed. Such is the case, with a spinal subluxation. A subluxation blocks the proper flow of your Intelligence through your nervous system, so your body no longer functions at its best.
-Ralph W Stephenson D C 1927
