What is health?

Health is a state of optimum physical mental and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.

Health ca be achieved and maintained when you emphasis shifts toward creating optimum function, not simply removing symptoms.

Health is something you are given at birth and it should be maintained throughout your lifetime.

What is health?
Most people think health is having no symptoms. This is truly not the case. For example, the first symptom of heart disease for 40% of those who suffer from it is a severe or fatal heart attack. Currently, society's emphasis has been on the removal of symptoms rather than on creating an environment in which the body can function as close to 100% as possible.

Health can be achieved and maintained when your emphasis shifts toward creating optimum function, not simply removing symptoms.

We are all born with a genetic health potential. If we understand what can interfere with that potential we can avoid such interferences and keep our health at its highest level. To understand how to obtain our highest optimum health potential we first have to know what the essentials of health are.

In terms of basic physiological essentials for survival we can name four: food, water, oxygen, and nerve impulse. What makes these essentials is that if any of them were to stop, you would die. If any of them were interfered with, your health would not be at its optimum potential.

We can live without food and water for days, without oxygen for minutes but how long can we live without nerve impulse? The answer is, we cannot live a moment without nerve and brain impulses. If we cut the nerve to our heart, would it stop? How about to your lungs, arms and to the rest of your body? What if you just interfered with the normal nerve transmission? Would these organs and tissue function at their optimum potential?

Research has shown that it only takes about 10mmHg of pressure (less then the weight of a dime) on a nerve to cause a disruption in its normal nerve impulse. This disruption causes abnormal function of the organ, tissue, or cell that has the disrupted nerve supply running to it. Over time if not corrected symptoms will eventually show up.

One of the major causes of nerve interference is a misalignment of the spine (subluxation). Subluxations can interfere with the nerve, the spinal cord and reflex nerve pathways resulting in abnormal function and a lower health potential. If your spine is subluxated you cannot be at your optimum health potential.
