As human beings, we can live around 40 days without any food before we die. We can go approximately one week without water. We can only go 5 minutes without oxygen before we suffer irreversible brain damage.
The fourth, and most important pillar of your health, is nerve supply. When nerve supply is shut down, you last about one second. Forensic experts use neurological activity to determine time of death...when it stops, so do we. Most people are familiar with the damage that a spinal cord injury causes. Basically all life, all function below the cord level of the injury, stops when nerve supply is shut off.
Ask any grade schooler about the importance of eating and drinking and breathing and they can explain to you why these things are necessary. We must replenish out bodies.
It is in large part my mission in life to educate our community about the importance of replenishing nerve supply on a regular basis. Your entire experience as a human being is lived through your central nerve system. Nothing is more important to your existence and health! When you laugh and love, or think, or analyze or hear your child laugh, this is all performed with your nerve system. This is also how your body heals and repairs and digests, sleeps, and fights disease. Everything you do every second of every day is controlled by your nerve system.
The nerve system is the single most important part of your body. It is the part that controls all of the other parts. Talk to somebody with a disease that effects the nervous system like Alzheimers, Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinsons disease and they will explain just how vital your nerve system is!
Are your teeth important? I think they are...but they do not determine your health and the experience you have living today. And yet, you probably brushed your teeth today a couple of times, and you get them checked regularly as well.
So, what about your nerve system? How are you replenishing it? How are you maximizing the function of your nervous system so that you experience 100% optimal function? Chiropractic adjustments replenish your nerve system. They allow the power that made your body to express itself. Adjustments connect you in body, mind, and spirit.
I do not care if you are getting adjusted with us, or somewhere else. I beg you , please get adjusted regularly, everything you do depends on the health and replenishment of your nerve system.
