As Important As Your Pulse By Haig John, D.C.

The procedure of taking the pulse is one of the most common procedures in the diagnostic field and yet it tells the tester very little information about how healthy a person is. Not only is it done in modern American care facilities, it has been done for centuries by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine as well. From that simple test the diagnostic profession has now expanded the search for malfunction to all sorts of devices and tests far too numerous to mention. Many of these tests are more detrimental for the body than what the test was searching for.

In 1895 D.D. Palmer came upon the greatest discovery since taking the pulse. He detected a Subluxation which is Nerve Interference in spinal cord. D.D. realized the Innate force that created us, is constantly recreating and if there is any interference to that Innate force we are not functioning at our greatest potential. That is what we Chiropractors work with in order to increase the opportunity of healing, increase vitality and increase the ability to handle stress. The art, philosophy and science of adjusting the nerve system via the vertebral column with two hands has stood the test of time and has not changed since D.D. Palmer delivered the first adjustment to Harvey Lillard in 1895.

In practice I have been fortunate to work with so many people that have transformed from a state of so called sickness to a state of wellbeing that sometimes I just have to step back and say WOW! A young woman came to see me last year because she was curious and had heard some good things about our office from a friend. She has suffered with severe allergies and asthma most of her life. I told her the truth about Chiropractic and that I don’t treat symptoms but help your body work at its greatest potential. After about 9 months of adjusting her subluxations she began to cough up mucous nearly continuously for about 6 weeks. Her lungs were expressing all of the garbage she had been suppressing all of those years. Her lungs were clearing for the first time in her life, the opposite of what her medications were doing. She began to having fewer and fewer episodes of asthma and allergy attacks and she told me that she could sing again in her choir. Now I am not a singer and I am not sure what it means to be able to bring ones voice from the belly to the top of her head but it sounds pretty fantastic if she hasn’t been able to do it for many years. She is getting her life back because her body is able to heal itself properly, as she was intended to do since birth.

Many people have asked me “why do so many people bring their children to get adjusted in your office?” My first response is usually could you imagine how healthy you would be if you were adjusted since birth? A young mother brought in her new born who was not latching on to her breast to feed and when he did, spit up continuously and he was colicky. I noticed immediately a serve torticollis, which means his subluxation was so severe that he was locked in a turned position. I checked his Atlas, the first bone of the neck that is at the brain stem. Of course this baby was not functioning well, his life i.e. Innate as being cut off at the top of his spine at his brainstem. I adjusted his atlas and immediately color came back to his skin and the only way I can describe it is that he began to unwind, like a flower bud opening. He was turning his head left and right, his eyes were opening, and he started stretching and moving all over the adjusting table. It was a wow moment. The mother began to cry and I could feel some tears welling up myself. We both knew what had just happened.

The brain controls everything through the central nerve system. The next greatest discovery since the pulse has been the detection of subluxations in the Neural System. It is critical to look at the cause before the symptom. That seems to be obvious but who is saying let’s look for nerve interference first before you are radiated, toxified and partially disemboweled to look at the symptom.

If you have restricted communication from brain to body no matter what you eat, drink, or think the quantity and quality of impulse will be diminished. You can buy all the expensive berries from the mountains of Kilimanjaro or the Brazilian rain forests, but if your brain is not talking to the stomach properly it will never absorb properly. If the mental impulses are not making quality cells from your stem cells that reside within you, then all of the things we put in from the outside do not matter. Dr. Palmer is quoted as saying “the Chiropractic adjustment unites man the physical with man the spiritual.” Getting back to that understanding will save lives.

Eat your GREENS, Drink lots of pure WATER, and keep your SPINE and Nerves HEALTHY is the best recipe for health.
