5. Birth trauma to the cervical spine and cranium can result
in disorders such as headaches, vestibular problems,
auditory troubles, visual disturbances, pharyngolaryngela
disorders, vasomotor and secretion dysfunction and
psychic disturbances. Care to realign the neck achieves
excellent results with many of these dysfunctions. 20
Orthopedic Medicine
In a research article in Developmental Childhood Neurology, Dr. Byers stated that the recognized
causative factors to injury during the birth process are traction, rotational stresses, and
hyperextension of the fetal head. Recognition of these factors is the basis for prevention of this
terrible accident.21
âLife for the newborn
depends upon the
preservation and
healthy functioning of
the brain stem and
spinal cord at the level
of the upper neck.â23

During the first two years of life, an infant often
falls while learning to walk or can fall while
tumbling off a bed or other piece of furniture.
Even the seemingly innocent act of playfully tossing
babies up in the air and catching them often results
in a whiplash"-like trauma to the spine.
Automobile accidents often involve the entire
family, although infants often go unchecked
because they have no obvious damage or
symptoms.
Because of the structure of the infant's spine, spinal
stretching from trauma is more likely to result in
spinal cord trauma with nerve interference than it is
in damage to the vertebral segments and soft tissue.
This is frequently the cause of the first vertebral
subluxation in the childâs life.
7. Americans are living longer than ever before. The
human life expectancy is increasing and barring
unforeseen circumstances, we can expect to live to
a ripe old age-that is a ripe old calendar age.
Though our life expectancy has increased, the
quality of our lives and our health has not. The
United States continues to be one of the un-
healthiest nations in the developed world.
Most of us do not want to live to be 90 if the last 30
years are filled with illness, disability and
dependence of family and nursing homes. We want
to be able to play golf, take long walks and enjoy
our families. We want those extra years to be
quality years. Longer lives do not mean much if
they are not active lives. The quality of those years
will largely be dictated by the choices we make in
the preceding years, choices designed to stave off
the aging process.
GENETICS & AGING
Assuming that a person's entire life is "written" in
the genes that they are born with has been a major
mistake in recent health care philosophy. The more
we learn about genetics, our biological inheritance,
the more we realize that for the most part, our
lifestyle decisions and behaviors have far more
impact on longevity and health than does heredity.
A person's genes define their basic biology, but
health decisions and habits control the way genes
will affect the body and health in general.
âGenes are unquestionably the fundamental
units by which our bodies are constructed.
However, pure genetic determination does not
adequately explain the varied capabilities of our
biology. A more accurate view of the role of the
genome is to see the genes as providing the
overall plan for the developmental pathways. The
environment to which the individual is exposed
will modify the actual pathway.â 1
PETER NATHANIEL, M.D.
Life in the Womb
âThe major function of your genes is to transmit
health and the inborn resolve to remember
wellness. In the sickness paradigm, we are taught
that disease-carrying genes determine our destiny.
This is a false view. If we were truly destined to live
by our genes, we would suffer from the thousands
of diseases experienced by our ancestors for as
long as we lived, which would not be very long at
all. Disease-carrying genes are not our destiny,
because they must answer to our inner compass-
our healing force.â 2

ASPIRIN AND BLEEDING
Every aspirin that is taken causes a small amount of bleeding.
A microscope will show that the bowel movement of someone
who takes one aspirin a day will contain blood. This is
because aspirin thins the blood by destroying the platelets in
the blood. These platelets are responsible for blood clotting
that is an important part of the bodyâs natural healing process.
In fact, patients who are scheduled for any type of surgery are
warned not to take aspirin for several days prior to their
surgery because the bleeding is almost uncontrollable.
Recent research has also demonstrated that when NSAIDs are combined with selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the most widely used antidepressants in the world; it dramatically
increased the risk of bleeding.
IN NORMAL INDIVIDUALS: 1 DOSE OF 2 REGULAR STRENGTH
ASPIRIN AFFECTS NORMAL CLOTTING FOR AS LONG AS 7 DAYS.
UNITED STATES PHARMACOPEIAL CONVENTION
Use of aspirin during the last two weeks of pregnancy may cause bleeding problems in the
fetus before or during delivery or in the newborn infant. Also, too much use of aspirin during
the last three months of pregnancy may increase the length of pregnancy, prolong labor,
cause other problems during delivery, or cause severe bleeding in the mother before, during
or after the delivery. 6
11. Humans are born with a C-shaped spine and the spinal curves develop in resistance to
different gravitational stresses that affect the body.
The first spinal curve to develop is the cervical curve and it develops as the baby learns to lift its
head.
The cervical spine consist of 7 vertebrae -- the same
in all mammals â from the tiny mouse to the long-
necked giraffe. The cervical bones - the vertebrae -
are smaller in size when compared to other spinal
vertebrae.
The purpose of the cervical spine is to contain
and protect the spinal cord, support the skull,
and enable diverse head movement (e.g., rotate
side to side, bend forward and backward).
Between each vertebra (with the exception of the
space between C1 &C2) are springy discs of tough
cartilage with a jellylike core that compress when
under pressure to absorb shock. These discs are
subjected to tremendous forces.
Strong ligaments and muscles surround the
spine to stabilize the vertebrae and to control
movement. The cervical spine has a unique
structure that is related to its important
biomechanical functions.
13. The first antibiotic, penicillin, became widely available in 1940. Antibiotics have since become a popular
weapon in the medical arsenal against disease. Over one-third of all hospital patients are given antibiotics and
each year in excess of 240 million antibiotic prescriptions are dispensed in the United States. Although no one
can dispute that antibiotics have a place and a purpose, especially in emergency and lifesaving situations, a
growing number of doctors and medical researchers contend that antibiotics have been grossly overused and
abused, and, as a result, produce adverse reactions as well as strains of bacteria that have become resistant
to antibiotics.
There are patients in hospitals that have bacterial infections against which no antibiotics are effective. This is
only fifty years after antibiotics were introduced. Until around 1975, almost every care of gonorrhea was
treatable with penicillin. Today, in places like Thailand and the Philippines, 90% of all cases are penicillin-
resistant. In the U.S, it is above fifty percent.
Nearly every disease known to medicine has become resistant to at least one antibiotic and several are immune to more
than one. One of the MOST alarming things about the cholera epidemic, which has killed as many as 50,000 people in
Rwanda, is that it involves a strain of bacterium which cannot be treated with standard antibiotics. Tuberculosis, too, has
learned how to outwit doctors. Tuberculosis is an unusually tough microbe. Several strains of TB have emerged in the
U.S. that cannot be treated with common antibiotics. Even infections such as staph and strep have become harder to treat
as they have acquired resistance to standard antibiotics. One strain of hospital-dwelling staph can now be treated only
with a single antibiotic and public health officials have no doubt that it will soon become immune to that one as well.
Hospitals could become dangerous places to go and even more so if strep develops universal resistance.

15. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
A properly functioning nervous system should be the first priority in
solving asthma since it is the nervous system which controls all of
our bodily functions. The nervous system works by sending and
receiving messages or impulses to all parts of the body.
Breathing is controlled by centers in the brain, the main one being
the respiratory center which is found in the medulla oblongata.
From here, the nerve impulses are sent to the respiratory
muscles, causing them to expand or contract.
Nerve impulses also control the tone of the bronchial tubes. The
sympathetic system opens or dilates the bronchial tubes, and the
parasympathetic system closes or constricts them.
"The nervous system plays an important role in both the
control and activity of the immune system. The sheer power
of the brain to affect the body as a whole and the general
state of health is amazing."11
The nervous system is protected by the spine, consisting of 24 moveable vertebrae. When the spine
is in its proper position, it protects the nerve pathways. But when vertebrae become misaligned,
interference to the nerve impulses occurs, which reduces the overall functioning of the nervous
system and of the particular organ to which it is assigned. These spinal misalignments are known as
âvertebral subluxations.â
17. WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSIS
There are several factors that contribute to osteoporosis and the majority of
osteoporotic cases are caused by multiple factors. There are essentially three
areas that contribute to osteoporosis: abnormal biomechanical or structural
stress, chemical stress, and neurological stress.
ABNORMAL BIOMECHANICAL / STRUCTURAL STRESS
Every change in the function of a bone is
followed by certain definite changes in internal
architecture and external conformation in
accordance with mathematical laws.
WOLFFâS LAW
Wolffâs Law simply means that bones will
change their shape and structure in response to
how much or how little mechanical stress is
applied.
Mechanical stress is shown to be transduced into electrical energy which in turn is the signal for
remodeling or reshaping of the bone to meet the demands of the stress.
âDaily weight-bearing activity is essential to the health of the skeleton. Mechanical
weight-bearing stress is the most important external factor affecting bone development
and remodeling.â 7
CLINICAL SYMPOSIA
An interesting example of this process
occurs in astronauts. Exposure to the
microgravity environment of space
causes astronauts to lose calcium from
bones. This loss occurs because the
absence of Earth's gravity disrupts the
process of bone maintenance in its
major function of supporting body
weight.
Space biomedical researchers have
found that exposure to the microgravity
environment of space causes men and
women of all ages to lose up to 1% of
their bone mass per month due to
disuse atrophy, a condition similar to
osteoporosis.
19. 6
Fever is a powerful part of the immune system, as it interferes with pathogen growth, inactivates
many pathogen toxins, and facilitates a more intense immune system response. Many physicians
now recommend allowing fevers to run their course.
âFever is a systematic response to infection. It is generally agreed that moderate elevation of
body temperature improves the bodyâs disease fighting capacity.â 7
Human Physiology
When tissue injury occurs, whether caused by bacteria or viruses, etc, substances such as
bradykinins, complement, and histamines are released. This process is called inflammation and it
strongly activates the macrophage system to remove damaged cell tissue. Inflammation is a vital part
of the healing and repair process of the immune system and when it is delayed or inhibited, healing
and repair is incomplete.
âInflammation is one of the most important
mechanisms of host defense since it marshals
the attack on the injurious agent and leads to
repair of the affected tissue.â 8
The Cell Biology of Inflammation
21. In a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook
teaching, researchers at the University of Virginia School of
Medicine have determined that the brain is directly
connected to the immune system by vessels previously
thought not to exist.
That such vessels could have escaped detection when
the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped
throughout the body is surprising on its own, but the true
significance of the discovery lies in the effects it could
have on the study and treatment of neurological
diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimerâs disease to
multiple sclerosis.
23. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of metabolism that results from a deficiency of insulin, a
hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is required for the removal
of sugar (glucose) from the blood by muscles after a meal and to prevent the over
secretion of glucose from the liver during periods of fasting
Insulin transports glucose into the cells for use as energy and storage as glycogen. It
also stimulates protein synthesis and free fatty acid storage in the fat deposits. When a
person lacks sufficient insulin, body tissues have less access to essential nutrients for
fuel.
An inadequate amount or inefficient
action of insulin leads to elevated blood
levels of glucose, the hallmark of
diabetes.
This problem is made more complex by
the fact that diabetes mellitus is not a
single disease, but occurs in several
forms, and has complications that
affect virtually every system of the
body.
25. Disturbances to the nervous system are referred to in
scientific literature by several names including neuritis,
dysponesis, nerve dysfunction, double-crush
phenomenon, neuropathophysiology and subluxation, all
of which cause interference to the nervous system.
The primary cause of nerve interference is found in the spinal
column. When the vertebrae become misaligned often as the
result of trauma or injury, irritation and interference occur in the
nerve pathways. Nerve dysfunction caused by spinal
misalignments is called âvertebral subluxationsâ and are well-
documented in scientific literature.
VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION RESEARCH
âSubluxations are very real. We have documented them to the
extent that no one can dispute their existence. Vertebral
subluxations change the entire health of the body by causing
structural dysfunction of the spine and nerve interference.â 22
Chang Ha Suh, M.D. Ph.D.
âHyper functional or hypo functional neurons along a neural
chain prevent normal nerve transmission causing
disturbances in the homeostasis of the cells, tissues, and
organs.â 23
Academy of Pain Research
âSubluxations of vertebrae occur in all parts of the spine and
in all degrees. When the dislocation is so slight as to not
affect the spinal cord, it will still produce disturbances in the
spinal nerves passing off from the foramina.â 24

"There is little doubt that
fibromyalgia pain is due to an

27. The proper development and function of the nervous system is a primary key to
maximizing the human genetic potential of health, healing and performance.
Molecular Genetics in Developmental Neurobiology
Molecular genetics in neurobiology has developed rapidly with the introduction of the new and
productive methodologies of genetic engineering and cellular manipulation. Particularly in the field of
developmental neurobiology, molecular genetics has had impact in research on the molecular
mechanism if development and differentiation in the nervous system.
SYMPOISA OF BRAIN SCIENCES
Every doctor, scientist and researcher in
the world will agree that the foundation of
health begins with a properly functioning
nervous system. The central nervous
system is the master control system in the
human body and every single function
reflects its activity.
Nerve impulses travel from the brain, down
the spinal cord, and out through nerves to all
parts of the body. Nerve impulses then return
to the brain through return pathways.
There are approximately 100 billion
neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain and in
a single human brain; the number of
possible connections between those cells
is greater than the total number of
electrons in the universe.
Research has shown that activity that occurs at the molecular levels is controlled and coordinated by
the central nervous system.
âWe can only conclude that an analog-transmission and control system exists in the body, located in
the perineural cells and transmitting information by means of the follow of semi-conducting DC
electrical current. This system senses injury and controls repair, and it may serve as the morphogenic
field itself. It controls the activity of body cells by producing specific DC electrical environments in
their vicinity.â 18
ROBERT BECKER, MD
âThe nervous system does much more than transmit sensory information to the brain or control motor
functions. It actually controls the peripheral organs, including its biomolecular environment. The Central
Nervous System is involved in all disease conditions as the CNS not only processes incoming physical
and chemical information from the body, it actually controls organs and cells to maintain health and
homeostasis.â 17
MEDICAL HYPOTHESIS
28.
29. 8
The presence of vertebral subluxations can
often be detected by an examination of a
personâs posture. There is ample research
which shows the relationship between poor
posture and a improperly functioning nervous
system which leads to health problems.
POSTURE & HEALTH
ď§ Posture and normal physiology are
interrelated.
ď§ Posture affects and moderates every
physiological function from breathing to
hormonal production.
ď§ Abnormal posture is evident in patients
with chronic and stress related illnesses.
ď§ Homeostasis and nervous system
function are ultimately connected with
posture.
ď§ Despite the considerable evidence that
posture affects physiology and function,
the significant influence on posture is
not addressed by most physicians. 11
American Journal of Pain Management
âThe beginning of the
disease process starts
with postural distortion.â
Dr. Hans Seyle, Nobel Laureate
Posture is the bodyâs response to natural
forces of gravity and the stresses of daily living,
whether standing, sitting, walking or reclining.
With normal erect posture, the body is in a
state of intrinsic equilibrium, maintained by
minimal muscular effort.
Healthy posture is largely determined by three
factors: skeletal structure, soft tissue integrity
and neurological control. Breakdown in any of
these components can result in subluxations,
instability, weakness and loss of neurological
control
âUp to 90% of the energy output of
the brain is used in relating the
physical body to its gravitational
field.â

31. THE HIDDEN COST OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH ISSUES
Health care continues to be expensive for corporate America for a wide variety of reasons including
an aging workforce and the rising cost of goods and services used for patient care -- such as workers,
equipment and information systems.
Other factors are a rising demand for care, compliance with regulatory requirements and new
technologies, such as robotic surgery, are growing rapidly and carry an expensive price tag.
Making matters worse, researchers have identified
another, even more significant business cost of
unhealthy employees â the cost of lost productivity
from absent workers (absenteeism) and present
workers (presenteeism) who canât perform because
of health-related impairments. This is a modern
phenomenon and research shows that it now costs
employers two to three times more than direct
medical care, such as insurance premiums and
pharmacy costs.
Looking at recent statistics for the cost of lost productivity due to common diseases, conditions, and
risk factors is eye-opening.
In 2010, cardiovascular disease and strokes cost American
business more than $503 billion in lost productivity and
health care expenditures.
In 2010, Alzheimerâs disease and other forms of dementia
cost $172 billion in lost productivity and direct health care
costs.
In 2008, the estimated cost of lost productivity due to cancer
was $18.8 billion. Lost productivity due to premature death
from cancer was estimated to be $116.1 billion.
According to a 2009 study, workers with diabetes lost an
average of fifteen percent of work time due to health
problems.
In 2003, the most recent year for which statistics are
available, arthritis was responsible for a $47 billion in lost
earnings.
Depression accounts for $51 billion a year in lost
productivity and absenteeism.
Lost productivity due to asthma costs business an estimated
five billion dollars each year.
33. CHILDHOOD SPINAL PROBLEMS
The birth process, even under normal
conditions, is frequently the first cause of
spinal stress.
As the head of the child appears, the
physician grabs the babyâs head and
twists it around in a figure-eight motion,
lifting it up to receive the lower shoulder
and then down to receive the upper
shoulder. This creates significant stress
on the spine of the newborn.
Dr. Godfrey Gutmann, a German
physician, conducted a study of over
1,000 newborns shortly after birth. He
discovered that over 80% of the infants
had suffered trauma to their cervical
spine, which resulted in vertebral
subluxations. 13
âBrachial plexus injuries follow
stretching caused by shoulder
dystocia, breech extraction, or
hyper abduction of the neck in
cephalic presentations. Injuries can
be due to simple stretching or
avulsion of the roots with
associated cervical cord injury.
Associated traumatic injuries, such
as subluxations of the cervical
spine may occur.â 14
The Merck Manual,
âSpinal cord and brain-stem
injuries occur often during the
process of birth, but frequently
escape diagnosis. In infants who
survive there may be lasting
neurological defects reflecting
the primary injury.â 15
Abraham Towbin, M.D.
35. Hormonal imbalances can be the result of either
too much or too little glandular activity.
Spinal nerve interference and its resulting
decrease in function may be a significant cause
of endocrine dysfunction and hormonal related
health problems.

produce a variety of symptoms, including diabetes,
insipidous, obesity, sexual dystrophy, somnolence,
and loss of temperature control"20

"Studies have shown that more than fifty percent of hyperthyroid patients have damage to the
pathways in their nervous system" 21
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry
Research at the Still Institute showed that spinal lesions resulted in pathological
changes in the blood, urine, and tissue fluids. Spinal lesions of the atlas and axis
(C1& C2) were associated with abnormal function of the pituitary which resulted in
abnormal hormone secretions. 22
âWith few exceptions,
hormone deficiency or
hormone excess is the
result of pathologic
manifestations in the neural
pathways that supply the
hypothalamus.â 23

37. Thalamic Neuron Theory
The nervous system does much more than transmit
sensory information to the brain or control motor
functions. It actually controls the peripheral organs,
including its biomolecular environment. The central

position, it protects the nerve pathways. However,
when spinal vertebra become misaligned,
interference to the nerve impulse occurs, which
reduces the overall function of the nervous system
and of that particular organ.
"Organs supplied by impinged nerves
exhibit pathological changes and the
more serious the impingement, the
more serious the damage." 7
Henry Winsor, M.D.
Nerve disturbance caused by the spinal column is
called a vertebral subluxation. Vertebral
subluxations are often referred to as the âSilent
Killerâ because they can be present for long periods
of time without any evidence of pain or symptoms
This is similar to a cavity eating away at a tooth
long before a toothache occurs. Subluxations
irritate the nerves which interfere with the flow of
nerve impulses. This reduces the bodyâs inherent
natural healing ability.
Subluxations also alter the optimal structure of the
spine which weakens it and increases
degeneration.
Vertebral subluxations are devastating to a
personâs health and are well documented
by leading health authorities.
The primary cause of nerve interference is found
in the spinal column. When the spine is in its proper

The United States has the most extensive health care system in the world. Americans pay more for
health care than citizens of any other country. In 2010 the U.S. spent over two trillion dollars, an
average of sixty-eight hundred dollars for every man, woman and child.
Yet the United States ranks as one of the least healthy
nations in the developed world. Our infant mortality rate is
worse than 20 other nations.
People live longer on average in 25 other countries. We are
in the top five in incidents of cancer, heart disease, diabetes
and autoimmune disorders.
What has gone wrong? Why are U.S health care costs rising faster than any
other country evenas our overallhealth declines?
It is important to note that the United States has the best emergency, crisis and trauma health care
system in the world.
Medical doctors are very successful at
repairing damage to the human body and
at saving lives.
But these types of trauma cases
represent a very small percentage of all
health problems-less than one percent of
all health issues are emergency in nature.
The majority of health problems are
treated with drugs, which is a major cause
of our health care crisis.
