A rheumatic condition cannot be explained to a patient with facility and understanding as a lesion, subluxation or a perversion. But for teaching purposes, so the student can grasp quickly the fundamentals of this philosophy, all of the terms used are par excellent, providing he is also taught the popular public accepted terms of etiology, symptomatology and pathology. Cental perversions are those in which the active irritant is located in some part of the nervous system. Peripheral perversions are those in which the irritant is somewhere outside of the nervous system. Structural perversions follow functional changes, except in trauma.
All peripheral irritations produce nerve reflexes.
All central irritations produce either sensory or motor disturbances, or both. Irritation produces vaso-motor changes, so we may say that all physical diseased manifestations are the result of circulatory changes. Therefore Neuropathy claims that diseased parts can be restored to normal by establishing the normal circulations of the body. The body is governed and controlled by the Cerebrospinal and Sympathetic nervous systems. When there is any irritation causing interference in the nerve center controlling any one of these parts of nerve mechanism, you have an interference in the blood supply to the part to which these nerves supply, producing the primary cause of disease.
