Part I: Foundation – Structure |
How chiropractic healing brings the body into balance – so the body heals itself. Part II: Nutrition & Spirit Dr. Moss: What about nutrition? Isn’t that important? Dr. F: Yes, but I do the posture work first for a reason. As we realign the body’s posture, nerves that have been irritated and haven’t been able to release the right enzyme or quantity of enzymes for digestion will begin to work. So the food we eat is digested better and we may not need to take any vitamins for the digestion. Dr. M: What do the adjustments do more specifically? Dr. F: The adjustments help to free blocked movement of muscles, nerves, fluids, and energy patterns. When you have good circulation, toxins built up in the body can be removed. Otherwise, they will cause damage in areas where they build up and eventually will set up a state of inflammation, pain – which lets you know you had better change your ways – and then degenerate into some disease. Our brain and nervous system run every process and function in our body. If this system is blocked in any way, the body will slowly break down. Chiropractic adjustments help the body to remember and restore proper function, hence good health. Dr. M: Do you then need or use nutrition? Dr. F: Definitely. It is the next critical part of the pyramid of health. The structure gives us the firm foundation in which to balance our skeletal system for our spinal nervous system’s support. On the other side is the electromagnetic side, the glue, the energy that coordinates the body’s functions. This is based on biochemistry. The food we eat is where our energy and building materials come from. We used to get a lot of our minerals and vitamins from the foods we eat. Over the last 20 to 30 years, many studies have shown that due to the soil depletion of essential minerals, we are not getting what we need. We have a society that has been raised on fast and processed foods, and now there is a lot of questioning about this being the cause of many deficiencies and health issues today. Dr. M: In your pyramid of health, the foundation is structure alignment; the next part is nutrition. What’s next? Dr. F: The top of the pyramid is our spiritual quality of life. We need to be spiritually balanced as well. Dr. M: Is that something you consider in your treatments? Dr. F: Absolutely! The great American mystic Edgar Cayce used to say that all healing comes from connecting with the divine. I often see that a patient’s healing crisis is also a spiritual crisis. Having a peaceful soul, understanding power, and finding meaning in life can all be incredibly healing to the body. |
