What Kind Of
Body
Are We Going To Have Next Year?
By Arno Burnier, D.C. |

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. Life energy, the creative force, is
constantly at work recreating our tissues and organs. Life energy or
"human electricity" travels via the nerve system to reach every
single tissue cell in the body.
When nerves are compressed or
irritated, there is loss of life, abnormal function results and the
reproduction cycle of cells is altered. We either have a slower rate
of reproduction which is degeneration or decay, or we have a faster
rate of turnover which is uncontrolled growth or tumors.
The
question we must all ask ourselves is, what kind of body are we
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, are we going
to give our body the potential to heal itself, or are we going to
allow it to express more dis-ease?
Chiropractic is special in
that it utilizes the adjusting of vertebral (spinal) subluxations or
blockages that interfere with Life Force expression. The result is a
body that has the potential to reproduce itself normally and recover
by healing itself.
Healing is creation, and the creative
spark is life. Consistent chiropractic adjustments release Life
Force by keeping the life channels open and free of subluxations. In
time the body can recover and express better health.
In seven
years we will have a brand new body, but what kind is it going to
be?
