Most of the cells affected the subluxation live and continue to reproduce. Therefore, what we have are sick cells reproducing themselves, and sick cells can only produce more sick, abnormal, and dis-eased cells. Then these abnormal cells grow into a larger group of abnormal cells called CANCER.
Body cells replace themselves at a rate of two and one half millions cells per minute normally. This process continues to occur so our physical bodies are in a constant state of renewal. This happens by the cell itself splitting in two and creating a new cell. To see how this works we can look at each different body part and see that different types of cells from these different body parts replace themselves with there own tissue and at their own pace in the body.
For example, the liver replaces itself with new cells every seven months, the heart is completely renewed in five years, and one last example would be that the stomach lining replaces itself every four minutes. This replacement of cells is vital to our existence as we are renewed at all times. If the body has a subluxation impinging on a nerve shutting off intelligence to a group of cells then our body gets sick because the body has started producing abnormal cells instead of normal ones.
Let us explain what a group of sick cells does to us. When we get a subluxation, the affect upon the cells starts right away and our bodies are in trouble immediately, even though for a long time we do not have any symptoms. Yes, once in awhile we will have a symptom right away, but this is the exception rather the rule.
What we are saying is that the subluxation usually occurs subtly over time, to where we have a misplaced vertebrae impinging on a nerve. From there, we get a group of larger and multiplying group of sick cells. This group of sick cells eventually becomes large enough that the message from the brain is blocked off so much the area of the subluxation overloads and you feel the symptom, such as pain, numbness, tingling, or any variety of things.
But this may take five years or more to manifest, so we may normally show no clinical signs of a problem from the subluxation until it has been present in our body for a number of years and caused it's damage. This is the case with most diseases, meaning the cause of the disease, the subluxation, had been there long before the symptoms manifested.
A group of abnormal cells is exactly what makes up disease. Man, in his infinite wisdom has given all these different types of diseases different names, according to their location in the body. But we need to remember that these diseases are all just groups of abnormal cells and they are all caused by one thing, that being the subluxation.
The subluxation comes first, the group of abnormal cells second, disease process third and the symptoms finally, fourth. Fixing the problem or dying all too painfully soon becomes the decision.
I am currently dying myself. I took things in life for granted. I drank soda, I ate fried foods and despite not being a drinker, along with my wife, we lived a life of gluttony and it brought us to our knees. She currently uses a respirator to breathe at night and takes medication that wasn't necessary prior to the excessive weight gain.
I beg of you to keep your spine in alignment and to watch what you put inside of you. Health care is a total package; no part alone will ever be enough.
Dr. Eversole wrote this article as a plea for those who read it to listen. He was too far gone by time he had turned to anyone for help and passed away in May of 2004. Please use his words to make your own very personal changes and get your spine checked on a regular basis.
