Health And Stress Pt1 4/5 User Manual 4 Humans

okay

so with muscles it's pretty obvious you

you

stimulate a muscle cell by putting

tension on it by activating it

same thing holds true with

bone cells

osteoporosis is a huge huge issue for

the especially the female population

and

how do you stimulate a bone cell bone

cell lifts by use it or lose it how do

you use it what is bone needed for it's

needed to resist gravity

so you have to put weight on it in a

field of gravity

then the bone has a purpose

if you don't put weight on it in a field

of gravity it has no purpose

and we sit 16 hours a day

okay

so

we we especially know this to be true

when we looked at space travel

because when you send an astronaut into

space and there's no gravity

the body says well you know no gravity i

really don't need bones here

so the rate of loss

of bone

is about two percent per month

in weightlessness

so

they send them out into space for six to

12 months

they cannot walk when they get back they

are so deconditioned they have to carry

them off and it takes months or years to

to

recover

so the body is just really smart it's

going to send the resources where it's

needed

same holds true with brain cells

use it or lose it so how do you use a

brain cell

what does the brain do what is the brain

process it processes electrical signals

how do you use it you send an electrical

signal

that's it

so

your body has all these receptors

that converts your environment into

electrical signals

so when you see something that's a

vibration of light that hits your eye

and your retina gets converted to an

electrical signal that stimulates and

that your brain can interpret

sound is a vibration that hits your

eardrum converted to an electrical

signal that you can interpret

touch

temperature vibration all of those are

signals

deformation vibration movement that gets

converted to electrical signals

so

that is how you stimulate the brain and

that's why exercise is so important

because the movement of the body

accounts for as much as 80 percent of

all the signals they get to the brain

muscles and joints

in a gravitational field account for

eighty percent of all the signals

and

why is that

well if you can do this

without looking then there has to be

some information

relayed to the brain about the position

of this finger

so

the muscles the length of the muscles

and the position of the joints are sent

with millions of bits of information to

tell the brain exactly where this is

and that's the most important thing

there is for you to stay alive because

if you can't stay

balanced in a field of gravity

if you don't know where your body parts

are

then

you just can't make it you'll be falling

down you'll be all over the place you

bump into things you get run over

you wouldn't last very long so 80 to 90

percent of the brain's resources

go to figuring out where you are

and that's called proprioception the

ability to know where you are

without looking

so

um

so now we understand what's that i'm

sorry when you said that he made me

think of my father who had alzheimer's

and he started having problems with

mobility you know he started falling for

no reason and stuff like that

that's the exact same

thing

the problem with alzheimer's is that

it's such a far-reaching degeneration

that

the

the the solution should have started 20

years earlier

it is never too late to slow it down

but it's really too far to go on to

reverse it

okay

so now we understand

that

the brain regulates everything

we know that

the brain cells

are only kept alive by receiving signals

and we understand that if we send more

signals to a brain cell it stays

healthier

if we send too many it burns out

and if we don't send enough

then the brain cell degenerates and gets

weaker

so the balance of signals and the amount

of signals is what keeps it healthy

now

we're wrapping pulling this together to

figure out where does chiropractic

come into this

well we said that

80 to 90 percent of the segments come

from

the muscles and the joints

so where do we have most of the muscles

and joints where is there a lot of

muscles and a lot of joints

and an enormous amount of receptors

and the answer is the spine

okay

so chiropractors didn't know this

when they started adjusting because this

was

a hundred years before we knew any of

this stuff

but chiropractic was very very effective

and very powerful

because without knowing it they had

found where they could provide the

biggest input to the brain where they

could fire off the most receptors

and do it in a specific manner

in a short amount of time

especially up in the neck there's an

enormous amount of receptor density

because

we have to know

exactly where the head is relative to

the horizon and the head and the eyes

have to operate independently of

anything that the body is doing

so the amount of processing to keep the

head on straight

literally speaking

is is astronomical

so

that

is why chiropractic works and if you

look at i may have the slight numbers

confused but that little sketch i think

you've all seen it

uh

with that shows the

the adjustment that the brain activity

before and after an adjustment

that is the reason that chiropractic

works it interrupts the pattern and it

sends powerful signals to to the brain

and down below i put pain relief is a

bonus and that's really how it works

with everything in the body that

if we can just improve the function

then

whatever the symptom was is going to go

away

because the symptom was never the

problem in the first place the symptom

was an indication that something wasn't

working

and if we can start making it work

better then whatever the perceived

problem was is going to go away

right so

we mentioned how to regain health we got

those steps down

now how do you once you have health how

do you maintain it

and i'd like to talk about

requirements that there are certain

requirements for health and that you

need to meet all the requirements for

health

so

if you have a plan

you have a plan at home and you're

trying to keep it healthy but the plant

is wilting

so what's the first thing that you think

you're doing for the plant

water exactly so now you give it some

water but it's still not happy

so then what do you think think about

sunshine sunlight exactly you can't

water it in the closet and

and keep it happy

so now you bring it out in the sunshine

and you give it water and it's still

unhappy

now what do you think

there's something wrong with the soil

it's either not not enough nutrients or

the soil is toxic

so

plants you can ask a five-year-old

plants need water sunshine and soil

so here's the big question

you have

one million plants and you try and

experiment

and you try to keep them a year

with two out of three okay

you mix them all up and you give some of

them sunlight and water and you skip the

soil and some of them you get water and

soil and you skip the sunshine and so on

how many healthy plants will you have

after a year

zero

okay because plants need water sunshine

and soil you can never get a healthy

plant with two out of three required

things

so

what do humans need

humans have requirements of

a
