“One question was always uppermost in my mind in my search for the cause of disease. I desired to know why one person was ailing and his associate, eating at the same table, working in the same shop at the same bench, was not. What difference was there in the two people that caused one to have pneumonia, catarrh, typhoid, or rheumatism, while his partner similarly situated, escaped? Why? This question had worried thousands for centuries and was answered in September 1895.”

D.D. Palmer

"Why is it that one child in a household of children will frequently harbor “strep” infections while the others are not troubled. Ask any farmer why one chicken in the coop will harbor lice and yet those perching next to it are free of the parasite and he will tell you it’s a sick chicken. The lice have not made the chicken sick; they are harbored by a sick chicken.”

Dr. Fred Barge

Growing up in a failed health care model years passed before my eyes opened when I learned the true meaning of health and understood how innate intelligence worked. These men were pioneers for our profession, and they changed hundreds of thousands of lives by teaching the principles of chiropractic.

I used to think that the germs caused disease, that we were genetically doomed, that people caught the “flu bug”, that using antibacterial soap was going to protect me, and that I needed shots to protect my immune system. I also thought that maybe I was just unlucky in health. When you learn and understand that we were created from two cells, it is hard to argue that there is no greater doctor than the one that created you.

Medicine doesn’t belong in the body, because you weren’t created from medicine. You were created from the innate intelligence that turned two cells into who you see in the mirror today. You are a breathing, digesting, adapting, heart beating and auto healing eco system. This power is imbedded into your nervous system and protected by bones.

This is the true reason why you are here. It is not because you have shoulder pain, allergies, digestive problems or cancer. It is to remove interference in the intelligence that created you. That is the only reason you are here! You get adjusted to restore the innate potential that every single one of you possesses inside that nerve system.

When there is no interference, the innate wisdom will express itself at its highest potential. Whenever I forget these principles, I am reminded of one of B.J. Palmer’s (D.D Palmer’s son) most famous quotes that says:

“Have you more faith in a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?

Whenever you are questioning whether your body can heal itself, take this one home and give it a read!

Peace and love,

Dr. Mike
