Changing History

Some of you probably have never been to a chiropractor. Even a larger number don't have a clue as to what a chiropractor actually does. Adjustments are given all over the world to people from all different walks of life. At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Boonton area and inside the walls of New Beginnings Chiropractic Wellness Center, I give adjustments for one reason and one reason only. To clear out the nerve system and allow the body the best opportunity to heal itself naturally. Are you with me so far. Hello, HELLO, is this thing on? Let me tell you a little story written by B.J. Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic.

It goes a little something like this: " A slip on the snowy sidewalk in the winter, is a small thing, that happens to millions. A fall from a ladder, in summer, is a small thing, that also happens to millions. The slip or fall produces a subluxation, the subluxation is a small thing. The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve, that pressure is a small thing. The pressure cuts off the flow of mental impulses, that decreased flowing is a small thing. That decreased flowing produces a diseased body and brain, that is a big thing to that man. Multiply that sick by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a small city. Multiply that sick man by a million, and you shape the physical and mental destiny of a state. Multiply that man by two hundred million, and you forecast and prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation. So the slip or fall, the subluxation, pressure, flow of mental impulses, and disease are big enough to control the thots and actions of a nation..."!!

What's that? Oh, you think this is a bunch of nonsense?! Read the book entitled: Napoleon's Glands and Other Ventures in Biohistory, by Arno Karlen. When you are finished give me a call and tell me if I'm crazy, or if you GROSSLY under-estimated the affects that poorly functioning physiology can have on history.

In the meantime, come visit my new office still going by the name of Selimo Chiropractic within the office of New Beginnings Chiropractic Center and serving the Boonton area.

Hello!!! HELLO!! Is This Thing (Your Body) ON??!!

INNATE INTELLIGENCE

Just as we have a communication system, the telephone, which enables us to talk to someone any place in the United States within a few seconds, we also have a communication system within the body that the Innate Intelligence uses to coordinate and control the function of all our cells. It is called the nervous system, and it is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and millions upon millions of miles of fine wire (nerves), a thousand times thinner than the human hair, going to every organ, tissue, and cell. This communication system is a more sophisticated computer system than any ever designed and yet the brain is about the size of two fists held together. Man has always known about the importance of the nervous system and that any interference within it can cause malfunction and even death. At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, I specialize in analyzing this system for misalignments (subluxations) and correcting them.

Because of its importance, the nerve system is protected by bone. The skull protects the brain and the brain is protected by the vertebral column. When the bones of vertebral column become subluxated, they interfere with the function of the nervous system. As a result, the body will not function properly. My main objective, at Selimo Chiropractic serving the Parsippany area, is to introduce a force that your body can use to adjust the vertebrae back into their proper position, removing the interference off the nerve and allowing proper signals to flow once again so that each part of the body can begin to work properly. The body has capacity to heal itself and maintain itself in a state of health, but only within the limitations of its matter. So what are you waiting for? A medical endorsement? GET CHECKED NOW!!!!!

Do You Believe?!

Often you hear people say, "Oh, I believe in chiropractic care. However, the chiropractic principle itself is not a matter of belief.

If you believe....

-that the human body was meant to produce within itself every chemical and substance necessary to maintain life from that food

- that the human body was not meant to be sick but to enjoy a lifetime of health

- that the body when in optimum health has within itself the ability to repair and heal damaged or sick tissue.

- that the educated intelligence of all the brilliant minds in the world combined doesn't know as much about running the body as the innate intelligence placed within it.

Then you believe..

IN THE PRINCIPLE OF LIFE.

Chiropractic is founded upon the principle of life and is the only logical, rational approach to health. It is not a matter of belief, but of sound intelligent thinking. At Selimo Chiropractic, in the Parsippany area, I believe that chiropractic is not something you must believe or reject. Acceptance of the principles of life leaves no alternative but to accept chiropractic. I do not believe that chiropractic works, I know that it does, just as a farmer who plants a field of corn in the spring knows that he will harvest a field of corn in the summer. The farmer has an understanding of the laws of nature and the principles of life which allow him to know that given the proper elements, he will reap corn. He also knows that even if he believed other things would grow where he planted corn, his belief would not make it so. If he did not

Now That IS The Question!

In examining the body we have come to the realization that it is a very fantastic organism. It can make living tissue out of the food that we eat for breakfast and adrenaline, insulin, cortisone, and thousands of other chemical substances out of the food we eat for lunch. We conclude that there is an organizing, coordinating principle within the body, which we refer to as the "INNATE INTELLIGENCE" of the body. Wherever we see organization, we acknowledge the existence of an intelligence. The local women's club, a large corporation, the government ( bad example) all demonstrate some level of organization and so all bespeak some intelligence.

The human body is the most organized structure in the world, 25-30 quadrillion cells all working together. It is, therefore reasonable to assume that there is an intelligence within the body. At Selimo Chiropractic, serving the Parsippany and Whippany area, it is known as "INNATE INTELLIGENCE". Innate intelligence is best defined as the principle of organization in all living organisms that results in the ability and striving of a living organism to organize and reorganize its physiology in order to adapt and survive in an ever-changing environment. The internal, inborn processes of living beings that are responsible for the preservation and continuation of life by the ability to respond and adapt to its external environment.

INNATE INTELLIGENCE is what you are born knowing rather than what you learn after you are born. There is nothing you must do to teach your body to work. A little baby knows nothing about his or her kidneys and yet they work as well as the greatest kidney specialist in the world, who knows every bit of information ever published on the kidneys.

At Selimo Chiropractic, in the Parsippany area, it is my strong belief that we can be thankful we have an INNATE INTELLIGENCE that is charged with the responsibility of running our bodies and we need not rely upon our educated, forgetful minds. It is this INNATE INTELLIGENCE which runs our bodies from the time we are conceived until the time we die. It is perfect and incapable of making an error. Why then do our bodies break down and work less perfectly? Ahhhhhhh!!! Now that IS the question.

Understanding Your Symptoms

No one enjoys feeling poorly, or suffering and experiencing pain. Symptoms are unpleasant. We have been taught to view them as bad and we seek ways to alleviate them as quickly as possible, but it is often without regard for our health or without understanding their role in our health and well-being.

At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, I believe that it is important that we understand that pain and symptoms are not always bad. Our body was designed with an intricate warning system in order to make us aware of injury, harm and danger. Pain tells us to avoid hot stoves, remove the pebble in our shoe and in a hundred other ways, how to prevent injury and harm. To cover up pain in these types of situations is not only unwise, it is dangerous and often invites further serious injury. It is like having an expensive fire alarm system in your home and disconnecting it before going to sleep so that it does not awaken you in the middle of the night. That is its job! Further, symptoms can possibly be an indication that the body is doing its job perfectly. Eating tainted food could precipitate a bout of vomiting and diarrhea. While they are admittedly two of the most unpleasant symptoms, they could save your life as they did rid your body of unwanted toxins. Trying to prevent these symptoms could be harmful to your body.

We also must understand that symptoms may be indicative of a serious medical problem that requires immediate attention by a physician or some other provider of therapeutic measures. To make this determination necessitates extensive years of study and training. At Selimo Chiropractic, serving the Parsippany area, I have chosen not to pursue that education or provide that service. Diagnosis, the art of finding the underlying cause of symptoms, is not part of the practice of the chiropractor.

Finally, you must understand that the service I provide as a chiropractor is not related to symptoms. This is what makes chiropractic different from therapeutic services like medicine. The vertebral subluxation, a misalignment which interferes with the proper functioning of the nervous system generally does not have symptoms. That is what makes it so dangerous. It can occur in anyone and gives no indication of its presence. But when the spine is subluxated, the entire body is being deprived of its ability to function at its fullest potential. That is a serious matter. To wait until symptoms appear, as a result of perhaps months or years of improper function, is not the best approach to maintaining one's health.

While chiropractic is not a treatment for symptoms or their cause, the person receiving chiropractic must have an understanding of the role of pain and symptoms so that he or she can make intelligent decisions regarding matters of health. I will be happy to explain to you further my role in your health and well-being so that you can be a better informed person and a better expression of life and health.

Life Is All About CHOICE!!!!

Treatment is defined as anything done for a patient to alleviate a symptom or disease. Adjustment, on the other hand, means to bring into right relationship. This is what's being done in chiropractic: bringing vertebrae into right relationship. It is interesting that in addition to bringing two vertebrae into right relationship, that is, correcting a subluxation, what we are really doing is bringing into right relationship the innate intelligence of the body and the physical material, the matter of the body. The matter is not an expression of the intelligence as it was intended. The adjustment brings back into a right relationship the material and the non material parts of the body.

Let's take a closer look at the meaning of the term, innate intelligence. I will use an analogy to bring out a better understanding of this philosophically sound concept. When you jump off a bridge, whether you are fat, skinny, good, bad, beautiful, or ugly, whether you hate children and kick dogs or are the sweetest, most loving person in the world, you will hit the water at the same rate of speed. That is an impersonal, natural law or principle. Similarly, at Selimo Chiropractic located in the Parsippany area, I recognize that the innate intelligence of the body is an impersonal principle. It is not a small voice whispering in your ear telling you the correct answer on a test for which you never studied. It does not make decisions for you. It is not the Id, Ego, Soul or any other psychological, religious or mystical term. It is a principle of organization that causes matter to behave in a certain manner, that is, to adapt to its environment. It is the same in a one celled amoebae and in a 280 - pound middle linebacker. The only difference is the amount and the quality of the matter in which it works.

At Selimo Chiropractic, serving the Parsippany and Whippany areas, performing specific chiropractic adjustments for the purpose of helping the innate intelligence of the body to better express itself is the best thing anyone can do in the physical realm. Correcting as many subluxations as I can, in as many people as I can, for as long as I can, is ultimately the chiropractic objective in my office. When this occurs, structure is restored to the human body which in turn restores function back to every organ cell and gland in the body. As a result, people live a much better quality of life with less reliance on medication.

The choice is yours. I lifetime of outside in approaches with little to no success and a diminished quality of life and possibly becoming a pharmaceutical pin cushion in your "golden years", or a lifetime of enhanced human function resulting in a lifetime of "enhanced human potential"!

Are "Symptoms" Important?

While symptoms are not something that we at Selimo Chiropractic located in the Parsippany area treats, they are a fact of life and health. Their existence is real and an understanding of their role in health is necessary for the chiropractor and practice member.

A symptom has been described as an indication that the body is reaching the outer limits of its adaptive ability. That is a fairly good working definition. Clearly, when the body passes the outer limits of its adaptive ability, all symptoms cease. Death is the lack of adaptation. That is a pretty obvious conclusion. Not so clear and open to argument is the assumption that if the body is adapting perfectly it should never have any symptoms. And this last statement represents a common misconception that vertebral subluxation is the cause of all sickness and disease and if the body were free of vertebral subluxation, it would never get sick.

Symptoms arise from the inability of the body to adapt to external invasive forces. A good nerve supply guarantees nothing more than the fact that the individual will be able to adapt a little better. But there are still limitations of matter that come into play regardless of the presence or absence of subluxation. Under normal circumstances the body can adapt to external invasive forces and symptoms will not occur. Unfortunately, we do not live under normal circumstances. The world is an imperfect place, consequently we are subject to abnormal external invasive forces. Stepping off a curb is a normal part of every day life. It causes no symptoms because the body is able to adapt. Jumping out of a three story window will move the body toward the outer limits of adaptability and cause symptoms (the pain of legs breaking).

Let me give you an example to drive the point home. The body was designed to be resistant to microorganisms in a natural and normal amount. Being free of nerve interference will enable the body to live in this environment with these viruses and never show symptoms. having someone sneeze or cough in your face and subject your respiratory tract to billions of viruses is not normal or natural. Even being free of vertebral subluxation, it may be more than the body can handle (limitations of matter). In this case symptoms will appear. Therefore, symptoms could occur because of an abnormal exposure to viruses, bacteria, toxins, poisons, etc. or because subluxation has weakened the individual to normal amounts in the environment. Of course, other factors could also weaken the individual, such as a genetic defect.

In concluding, it is very important to build health within the body. One of the most important ways to do this is to have your spine checked on a regular basis for vertebral subluxation. At Selimo Chiropractic in the Parsippany area I strongly believe this is important because having your nerve system clear will strengthen your immune function so that, unless you are exposed to billions of viruses at once, 9 times out 10 you won't get sick.
