However, all these mechanisms are limited by limitations of matter. A congenital defect is another causative interference. An individual born with a kidney missing or a non-functional organ will never attain maximum health. The body may adapt, however, in the presence of these interferences. They will not be totally healthy but the body may adapt sufficiently to lead an almost normal or symptom-free life.
People get along with one kidney, broken bones, and vertebral subluxations.
Influencing factors are never a cause of the body's lack of ability to function at its fullest potential. However, in the presence of causative interference they can influence health. The air we breathe, water we drink, bacteria and viruses, and ragweed pollen are all examples of environmental influences. Lack of rest as well as a poor diet are influencing factors. Components of the food we eat such as cholesterol, salt, and sugar, in certain quantities may influence our health.
