What Kind of Body Do You Want Next Year?

Contrary to popular belief, our physical body is never older than seven years! This is due to the fact that the body recreates itself constantly. Tissue cells die and are replaced by new ones. Every second we lose about three-and-a-half million red blood cells. There is nothing to worry about though, for another three-and-a-half million are born to replace the old ones. Ninety-eight percent of the atoms present in our body today will be gone within one year and replaced by new ones. The body is more like a river of constantly renewed tissues, rather than a frozen sculpture of decaying matter.

Skin cells live for seven days, heart cells for ninety days, while bone cells have a thirty-six month life span. There is a different life expectancy for every type of tissue cell depending on its function and location in the body. Our bodies are doing this constantly, and we aren't even aware of it! The body is truly an amazing gift. The innate intelligence within each of us, which created our bodies from two cells at conception, and continues to heal and regulate our bodies, is constantly at work recreating our tissues and organs. Life energy travels via the nerve system to reach every single tissue cell in the body.

We all know about the Internet. It's all about information transfer between computers, all around the world. Our nerve system is what I like to refer to as our "Innernet". The "Innernet" consists of the brain, the spinal cord, the nerves and the dazzling array of neurotransmitters. It is, by far, the most efficient, specialized, sophisticated, complex and delicate information highway known to humanity. It controls the transfer of information, or life force, throughout our entire body. Our nerve system is our interface with the rest of the world. Every facet of our life, be it smell, taste, touch, sight, hearing or thought, is all modulated and controlled by our brain and nerve system. Clear communication is necessary and paramount for us as human beings to live to our fullest potential, throughout our entire lives.

When there is interference to the nerve system, which occurs when nerves are compressed or irritated, there is loss of life. The lights are dimmed, so to speak. Abnormal function results, and the reproduction cycle of cells is altered. Not only is the reproduction cycle altered, but also the body's ability to regulate and heal itself is altered, and compromised.

The questions we must all ask ourselves are: "What kind of body am I going to have next year? Is it going to be a healthier one or a sicker one? Is it going to replace itself normally or abnormally? Is it going to express more ease or dis-ease? If already in a state of degeneration and decay, is it going to keep going downhill, or is it going to rebuild itself? If a state of dis-ease exists, am I going to give my body the potential to heal itself, or am I going to allow it to express more dis-ease? If not now, when?"

Chiropractic awakens the healer inside you, by releasing interference to the nerve system. By accessing the perfection within you, it allows for greater healing possibilities, better adaptability to stress, more flexibility, and promotes healthier choices, life enjoyment and new strategies for experiencing yourself and becoming more whole. Chiropractic doesn't claim to cure anybody of anything. It is, however, a very powerful and unique service, to help set people free of their health limitations. The power of the chiropractic adjustment is within you. As Michelangelo said about the beauty of his statue of David, "He was there all the time, he just had to be freed."
 
Healing is creation, and the creative spark is life. Regular chiropractic adjustments release life force by keeping the life channels of the "Innernet" open and free of interference. In time, the body can not only recover from sickness, but can express more health potential, and is capable of so much more than we ever thought imaginable.

In seven years, you will have a brand new body. What kind is it going to be?

The choice is yours.
