therefore the chiropractic adjustment is
a neurological event not a mechanical
event
so
now we're going to break things up a
little bit here and do a muscle testing
demo so
you all have had muscle testing and i've
shown you but let's just reiterate so
you want to come on up
and we'll just reinforce a few things
here
so
if you hold your arm out
parallel to the floor and you hold it
real nice and strong and if i push down
and you resist we'll see what happens
hold strong
and hold even stronger nice and strong
hold
beautiful
so that's a nice strong lock
and
what we need to understand is again
there's three components here we're
pushing on the bone which is attached to
a muscle and controlled by the brain so
all three of those have to work in order
for that arm to stay to stay solid
now if you move your left leg forward
and then you try to hold strong again
just like before hold
and now it's not working well at all
now
some people would say okay well the
muscle for some reason the muscle went
weak
and that's not really a correct
way of saying it because
the bone
is still there the bone didn't go
anywhere the muscle is still there the
muscle it's not like you lost
half the muscle it's still the same
cross-section area
the only thing that can change is the
signal from the brain
so when we check a muscle we are
checking the brain
we're checking the function we're
checking the the in this moment we're
checking the signal strength on the
brain
the other thing that we learned from
this
is that we would think
that the arm
is an independent body part that it
takes care of itself if it's strong here
why shouldn't it be strong here
what is it that that has to do with this
and now we start understanding that
anything anywhere in the body can affect
anything else in the body
and why
because they're all processed centrally
so when we change something down here
we're changing the signal input remember
the body processes a billion signals
bits per second so if we change some of
those bits we can change the total
output
so this is just like a computer
how do you talk to a computer you use a
mouse and keyboard the mouse and
keyboard creates electrical signals that
go into the computer and change the
input
so that we produce a different output
in the body
we can change the position of a body
part and we change the input therefore
the output is different
it makes sense i thought it was just the
balance you know shifting and weight and
things you know
so in this case it is it is
normal and expected because ever since
you were six months old you've developed
something called a cross crawl pattern
so
when
when one leg moves forward the brain
anticipates and tries to get the same
arm to move back and the opposite arm to
move forward
so when you do something that doesn't
make sense that confuses the brain
and it says no no this needs to relax
and come back
so that's why you can't hold it up
but it's all about software
when we're changing the input we change
the output
okay
make sense
so you've all seen this before but i
also want to make a point if any of you
are ever tempted
so this is an example of of a normal
function of a normal inhibition of
something
now put one foot on the floor and the
other on the on the rug
and hold that nice and strong and hold
on
and that's not working either
so that little difference
in in leg length
also changes to input
it is not
this input that the body expects it's
off by a quarter inch
and that's enough of a signal change
that the brain gets confused again
because it's not what it expects
so that's an example of a structural
stress can you imagine if you're walking
around with
shoes that are uneven
or if there's a little bit of a
misalignment in your pelvis
and you take a million steps in a month
and every time there's a little bit of
distorted input
over time this adds up and that's why
this stuff matters
so that's a structural stress what about
chemical stress
so now we need to just understand a
little bit more about the world we live
in so that this doesn't look too weird
but according to quantum physics
everything is energy you take the body
down to its smallest parts its molecules
and its atoms and its subatomic
particles and then all of a sudden it's
all empty space and energy
that means that your whole body is
energy
and the little crystals in these packets
are also energy
so that energy
interacts with each other and your
energy field can sense
the quality and nature of these of this
energy
so let's see what your body thinks
thinks of this
so hold nice and strong and lock that
excellent now hold those for me
and hold strong
and
not much is happening
so
these are two very popular sweeteners
called equal and splenda
and
your body knows that they're no good for
you because the vibration doesn't match
anything that has to do with life
these were developed by pesticide
companies
when they discover they were trying to
make pesticides to kill little bugs they
found that these taste sweet and they
said let's make human food out of them
and that holds true for for all
artificial sweeteners
so
just an extra reinforcement to stay away
from that stuff
and then we also talked about emotional
stress so let's
let's do that real quick
and we can demonstrate that very
simply by if you think about something
that you enjoy
and hold nice and strong
and it's rock solid and then you think
about something that really bothers you
somewhere you really don't like
and hold strong
and that's usually the one that gives
the absolute weakest muscle response you
can test this with your friends
it works amazingly
now think about the solution to the
thing that you don't like
and hold strong
and it's rock solid
so this is what happens to us when we
have emotional stress when we think
about things we don't like we are
stressing and disrupting the flow and
the healing in our bodies when we think
about things we like and the things the
way we want them
then our bodies get strong and they
function much better
okay
thank you very much
so
now we need to understand one more
principle
and the first really important principle
is
the balance of the sympathetic and the
parasympathetic
because the body cannot do both things
at once so if you just understand one
thing
is that
the stress
pushes the body out of balance and it
cannot heal at the same time
so balance between sympathetic and
parasympathetic is crucial
now the next thing we need to start
understanding is how does the body
how does how is the physical tissue
created
how does the body replenish the tissues
so
every cell in your body needs two things
to live
it needs food and stimulation
okay every cell
so the food that's the stuff you eat and
the oxygen
but stimulation is absolutely crucial
so
what happens to a muscle that you don't
use
yep atrophy what happens
to a tennis player that plays with one
hand only and not the other
the hand he plays with is that arm is
twice as big as the other one
and that makes a lot of sense because
the body
says use it or lose it
it's going to send the resources to the
place
that is activated
because that's where it makes sense to
expand
resources and energy to do something if
you don't use it you don't need it
okay
