If we are going to discuss health, we first have to decide what we mean by the word health. In our society, people seem to think that health is simply not expressing any symptoms. Is this really healthy? If we aren't in any pain at all, does that mean we've gone as far as we can into the realm of health?
I would say no.
First of all, the dead express no symptoms. They do not have a vital life force in their bodies. They have no capacity to create a symptom because they are not alive. Is that healthy? Of course not.
So, the absence of symptoms is no guarantee of health. What if we are still alive? Can we be symptom free and unhealthy? How about if someone develops an infection? Traditionally (though this is changing) the course of action is to combat the fever with a drug. Take the drug, no fever, so that means no problem, right? Not so. Fever serves a very important function in the body, slowing viruses and allowing white blood cells to take them out, killing cancer cells before they get to prevalent, and also destroying enemy bacteria. Fever is a symptom that means we ARE healthy. We are vigorously defending our system from an imbalance of cells, whether bacterial or carcinogenic. In this case, the presence of a symptom means you are healthy.
What creates these symptoms and pain is a functioning connection to the innate intelligence of the body. They are messages designed to restore balance and flow, to allow us to return to optimal health, which would generally mean that you have symptoms less and less as that balance is restored. With a strong connection through the body, ease and freedom are the norm. Pain and tightness are rare. No one pays attention to the check engine light in a car that's been on for years. But if it doesn't show as a rule, but suddenly does, we know there is a problem, and we can react swiftly.
The innate intelligence of the body requires clear communication throughout the body to coordinate all of the tissues and cells of the body for maximum adaptability and optimal expression of health. Crises will still happen from time to time. They are inevitable. Having a clear connection with your innate intelligence ensures that the response from the body will be appropriate, timely, and measured to the stress experienced.
What provides that connection for the innate intelligence? The nerve system is a major component, and it is one that chiropractic has focused on for over a hundred years, since its inception. With a fully functioning nerve system, the connection is clearer, and the innate intelligence of the body can coordinate the body perfectly, allowing for an optimal expression of health. There are others, such as the neuroendocrine system, and the electromagnetic field, and all are affected by subluxation.
I would say no.
