Disease; Understanding The
Cause
“Illnesses hover constantly above us, their seeds blown
by the wind, but they do not set in the terrain unless
the terrain is ready to receive them.” ~ Claude Bernard
Claude Bernard was a 19th century French physiologist
and contemporary of French chemist Louis Pasteur. The
two famous doctors argued throughout their lives as to
what really was the cause of disease, the soil or the
seed. Pasteur insisted it was the seed (germ) while
Bernard claimed it was the soil (the body). On Pasteurs
death bed, it is said that he admitted that Bernard was
right; he said, “ it is the soil, not the seed.”
The seed (germ factors) or the soil (the body, host
factors) argument was as prevalent then as it is now
again today. Today many medical authors are agreeing
that, although germs are certainly a factor involved in
the diseases of man, the germ alone is not the cause of
disease. Dr. B. J. Palmer, the developer of
chiropractic, and the son of the man who discovered
chiropractic stated:
“If the germ theory of disease were correct, there would
be no one living to believe it.”
Think about it for a moment, and you will see the common
sense in Dr. Palmers statement.
Some medical doctors and most Chiropractors agree that
the germ, though being part of the disease syndrome, is
not the direct cause of disease. First a person must be
susceptible to the germ. Germs will always be with us
and our concern should be to strengthen our resistance
to them.
Dr. D.D. Palmer, the discoverer of chiropractic stated,
“Disease is abnormal performance of certain functions:
the abnormal activity has its causes. “ Chiropractic has
sought to find these causes which often are due to nerve
interference along the spine caused by a spinal
misalignment, called subluxation. Subluxations can
impair normal nerve transmission which then causes
abnormal body function, lowering the bodys resistance
and making the body susceptible to disease.
Chiropractic Science holds that regular chiropractic
care helps prevent disease and maintains the body in a
high state of health. That is why millions of people
choose to receive regular monthly chiropractic care.
The cause of disease is within you, it is the lack of
your bodys ability to ward off disease. Increase this
ability through the natural drugless method of
chiropractic care. |
