What is intelligence based living?
Most of us take our health for granted. We assume that no matter what we eat we will be healthy. We assume that we will be healthy whether we exercise or not. We assume that if we cut a finger it will heal. We assume that if we get sick we will get well. We assume that if we have a headache, backache, stomach ache, etc. that it will go away.
Why do we make those assumptions? Upon what do we base our faith?
We base our faith on intelligence. Intelligence can be defined as the ability to adapt to new and trying situations. Life has that ability. Under normal circumstances we can adapt to eating a wide variety of foods and survive. When we exercise we adapt by becoming stronger and more efficient. When we cut a finger, the cut heals and the finger often returns to its previous condition, perhaps with a little scar.
A corpse does not digest food, a corpse does not grow more muscle, the finger of a corpse does not heal. Once life is gone adaptation ceases.
Why do we get sick?
Do bugs cause disease? Viruses and bacteria are all around us. Yet, most of us naturally keep them in check. It is not due to chance. Can we take the sick among us and determine why they are sick and make them healthy? If health is our natural state, how do we lose it?
The Importance of the Nervous System
Life (your innate intelligence or the intelligence you were born with) uses the brain and nervous system as the primary means of controling adaptation. If the nervous system cannot respond, the body is out of control.
Sickness is a loss of ability to adapt.
The nervous system is protected by the bones of the skull and spine. If the bones impinge against the nervous system, the nervous system fails to respond to innate intelligence and health is lost.
Hang a man and he dies. Death is due to fracture of the bones of the neck with severe impingement on the brain stem and resulting loss of innate control. Death is what happens with severe impingement.
Slight impingement occurs when the bones of the spine become slightly misaligned. We lose our ability to adapt, to maintain ourselves in active organization. We become weak and susceptible to environmental factors like viruses, bacteria, pollen, etc.
By restoring alignment, we remove the impingement. The nervous system heals and can again respond to innate direction. The body is brought back into coordination and health is restored.

Tried Everything?
We love helping people who have "tried everything." If everything else has been ruled out, perhaps it is time to take a different approach. Rather than fighting your pain or disease, why not try restoring your health?
