Symptoms: The Good, The Bad, or The Ugly?

FEVER Kills the bacteria and virus. Slows down reproduction of virus and bacteria. Speeds up chemical reactions in the body to fight infection and get the body back to normal. Promotes the production of cancerfighting agent - Interferon. DIARRHEA Elimination of poisons, bacteria and germs from your blood. HEADACHE Warning that there is an urgent problem in the body. COUGHING, SNEEZING AND RUNNY NOSE Expels excess germs and toxins. Sloughing off of the old mucous lining to replace it with a newer, healthy one. PAIN AND STIFFNESS Acts as a natural brace by stopping normal movement. Warns of an injury to prevent further damage. Alarm that lets you know there is sickness in the body. The New Principle of Chiropractic IN OUR SOCIETY, THE OLD HEALTH MODEL WE ALL GREW UP WITH SAYS: The body is dumb, helpless. Doctors are smart, Gods. Symptoms are bad and should be suppressed with drugs. How is it possible that nature gave us a body - which creates 3 million new cells every minute and controls and coordinates numerous organs and systems - that could be dumb? When we use drugs to suppress symptoms, we interfere with the body's natural methods of getting itself well. IN CHIROPRACTIC, WE UNDERSTAND THAT: The body is smart, self-healing, and needs nurturing. Medical doctors do not have all the answers to health. Symptoms are your body's way of telling you there is something happening that needs your attention, or it is the body healing itself. There is only one healer. It is not a pill or a shot. It is your body itself and the inborn intelligence within. Your body always knows what to do unless it is interfered with. Chiropractic attempts to remove this interference. Chiropractic does not treat the symptoms or the disease. Chiropractic does not cure the disease, for this can only be accomplished by nature from within. "There exists an intelligence in man far greater than any intelligence that exists outside man. Each patient is his own best doctor." - Albert Schweitzer, M.D.
