But doesn’t it seem impossible that hundreds of thousands of physicians researching through the years could have overlooked anything? They have had millions of dollars at their disposal, and every scientific device invented to uncover the cause of sickness and find it’s cure.

To imagine they could have overlooked anything important seems a little far fetched. However, sicknesses that existed 4,000 years ago exist today. The same symptoms that existed then are with us today. Names change. Treatments shift. So isn’t it time we look for the cause of health, rather than the cause of sickness?

Every man and woman who has experienced serious illness knows the horrors of a long sickness. A sick person’s only real desire is to get well and stay well permanently. For you to have a longer, happier and healthier life, it is imperative that you be aware of the fact that a subluxation of the top vertebrae in the spine (called the atlas, which lies beneath the skull) is a serious condition that can easily develop conditions affecting every part of the body. The delicate “Brain Stem,” just thicker than a pencil, is suspended from the brain and extends down through the tunnel formed by the C1-C2 ring-like vertebrae. When the spinal column is in proper alignment, the spinal cord (or brain stem) can pass unimpeded through these ring-like openings, but when one or both of the top two vertebra become misaligned (subluxated) the “Brain Stem” is impinged and normal nerve supply is cut off to parts of the body served by that nerve track.

Dr. B.J. Palmer, son of the founder of Walnut Creek Chiropractic, concluded that the upper cervical portion of the spine where the brain stem (medulla oblongata) is located is the control center for the entire body and pressure in this area is the cause of every disease known to man. Furthermore, he concluded that removing this pressure by means of an adjustment would correct the cause of disease and the body would heal itself. Adjusting the upper cervical spine removes the interference and allows the power that made the body to also heal the body. This force comes from “above down and inside out.”

The “Specific Chiropractor” is trained to locate and remove this subluxation (misalignment) and restore the vertebrae to its normal position. The Life Force (or Innate Intelligence that designed and heals our bodies) can now flow in its full capacity from the “Brain Stem” to the dis-eased tissue or organ; thus healing or repair takes place in a natural way and pain and the ravages of dis-ease disappear. We all deserve good health, and we were all born with the innate ability to be well. We merely need to remove subluxations or misalignments, especially in the upper cervical spine, to tap into that ability.
