If I were to review Chiropractic for Chiropractors, I would recommend a sequential chain of statements and discussions which are outstanding in their implications regarding the ultimate in our philosophy. Many of these points require much discussion, so just the high spots will have to suffice. Begin with the Major Premise, the presence of and recognition of Universal Intelligence. Is your attitude here one of casual acceptance, a taken for granted type of thing? Or is it a feeling of reality? Do you make of Universal a living part of your thinking, without which nothing is possible?<\/p>","content":[{"type":"text","data":"If I were to review Chiropractic for Chiropractors, I would recommend a sequential chain of statements and discussions which are outstanding in their implications regarding the ultimate in our philosophy.

Do so in this way; continue to ask Innate who has a perfect contact, to bring your educated mind into greater at-one-one with Universal.

The above is the \u201cspringboard\u201d for the final point in this discussion: the cause of dis-ease, and how the cause causes dis-ease. This one point and this point alone makes the difference between Chiropractic and all other healing sciences. The cause of dis-ease is interference with transmission of mental impulses, and is represented by the subluxation. Interference causes dis-ease by reducing Innate\u2019s ability to produce adaptation in the tissue cell. If all of our tissue cells could adapt at all times to all environmental conditions, we would never suffer the invasions, so-called, of dis-ease.
