When you cut your finger, do you ever wonder how it heals?
Many people have broken bones before and needed a cast. Have you ever wondered how the break heals back together?
Is it the Neosporin that heals the cut? Surely the Band-aid is what keeps the big bad germs from infecting the cut even more, allowing it to really heal, right? How about the cast set about the broken bone? Doesn’t the cast heal the fracture?
Wrong. None of those things aid the healing process in any way.
Every thing in life that has organization, has an intelligence. It could be a picnic, a multi-million dollar corporation, or the human body. The picnic needs someone to organize it i.e. who’s bringing sandwiches, blankets, potato salad, etc. A corporation has a CEO to make decisions in the best interest of the company and shareholders.
The human body is a collection of cells, molecules, and structures organized by Innate Intelligence. This Innate Intelligence knows more about the body than we could ever hope to understand. This Innate Intelligence organizes the most complex structure in the history of the world, and we have no clue that it is ever happening.
As humans, we shed and regrow our outer skin cells about once every 27 days. That comes out to about 1,000 different skins in our lifetimes. How does the body know how to do that? Better yet, why does the body do that? Only our Innate Intelligence knows for sure.
Innate Intelligence always works toward the preservation of the body. Take high blood pressure for instance.
High blood pressure occurs because the homeostasis of the body’s cardiovascular system has been disrupted. This disruption has been caused by a combination of bad diet and stressful thoughts. This leads to brittle, clogged arteries. Because of this, less blood gets through, thus leading to less oxygen to other parts of the body.
Innate Intelligence’s reaction is to instruct the heart to pump harder to get the necessary amount of blood through the narrow opening.
Innate Intelligence is smarter than any pharmacist walking this earth. It knows exactly what chemical to prescribe, what amount is needed, the exact location where it is needed, what frequency is needed, and the exact time of the day it is needed.
All of this goes on continuously, each second, without our conscious knowledge of it happening.
What happens when an Upper Cervical Chiropractor administers a Specific adjustment? Is he/she healing the recipient’s body?
No. Here is what happens: A force is introduced in the form of the Specific adjustment. The recipient’s Innate Intelligence accepts that force and uses it to remove any nervous system interference present as a result of a vertebral subluxation.
This is where the body begins to heal.
Every body is dynamic and unique, and so the application of the Specific adjustment throughout the human body is as individual as the person receiving the adjustment.
It could manifest itself as relief of low back pain or dissolution of digestive problems or the healing of plantar fascitis.
No one knows exactly what happens in every single person after every single adjustment.
Only Innate Intelligence knows.

Great post, Brandon. The only thing that depresses me at times is how many CHIROPRACTORS have forgotten or never grasped this simple, yet very profound truth.
The body has the ability to heal itself. Everyone needs to realize that Medicine is like “fire fighters” putting fires out, and we are Chiropractors like “construction workers”, we will rebuild you and allow your body to heal itself over time.
