We live life through our senses, but we know that there is more than the eye can see. With the invention of optical instruments, like the telescope and microscope, we are able to see more than we ever knew existed. The estimates of the amount of living microorganisms within the human body outnumber living cells – ten to one!

Without any doubt, there is more to our living, breathing, digesting body than the eyes can see. 

If there is more to the human body than what the eyes can see, then we can conclude that there is more than physical forces operating in the human body. There is an immaterial aspect, or inherent recuperative power within the body that influences our quality of life.

This inherent recuperative power within the physiology of the body can be described in chiropractic terms as the expression of intelligence through matter. The quality of life within the physiology is influenced by the amount of intelligence expressed through matter.

The body is full of intelligence, both educated and innate. Educated intelligence is what we gain through life, and innate intelligence is what we are born with. A common chiropractic illustration of innate intelligence is for nine months the infant inside the mother requires very little help to grow and develop from anything other than the mother’s supply of nutrients and warmth. This wisdom turns two cells into one, and then into trillions in just a few months time. Yes, the innate intelligence within every living breathing body is full of wisdom that keeps the body alive and functioning as one harmonious organism. 

Within your amazing body is the ability to self-heal which is directed and coordinated by this innate intelligence and impacts your quality of life.

This inherent recuperative power is in every cell of your body! Cells are the smallest functioning unit within the body — you originated from one cell, uniting with another cell, multiplying over time into trillions. The human body utilizes a nonphysical force or an inherent recuperative power described in chiropractic as innate intelligence to coordinate the actions for function and self-healing.

When cells break down, new cells are created and replace the old dying ones. Every second, our trillions of cells are in self-healing mode to get rid of the weak dying ones and replenish with new healthy ones. This process of getting rid of the weak cells to make us new at the cellular level us is complex and extraordinary, to say the least.

Every one of us has this extraordinary self-healing characteristic within, even though we cannot see it!

Wellbeing can be considered a fundamental principle rather than a fundamental pursuit. The potential for optimal wellbeing is within all of us — removing interference to the expression of it is one option to boost your potential for self-healing.

Your inherent recuperative power needs to be free of any neurological interference in order for a complete state of wellbeing to take occur from within. Optimal structure within your spine means optimal function of the body’s inherent recuperative power to coordinate overall wellbeing.
