To be sick is to have at least some bodily system malfunction significantly enough to drop bodily performance which could lead to disease, weaken the host allowing it to succumb to germ infiltration, or die. There are more people in the sick category than in the healthy category. But the largest group of people are in a category most are totally unaware even exists. The category of unhealthy. This is the category of developmental stages that often and ultimately lead to sick.
Many patients enter chiropractic offices somewhere in the unhealthy category.
Due to the fact that they don t understand or even recognize the unhealthy category, they feel comfortable in justifying the attitude of minimization. Sure they do. For example, patients might first feel fatigued and stressed, then they might develop a headache and finally succumb to the flu. On a more serious level, patients might first feel fatigued and frustrated, then they might experience dizziness and weight loss and finally end up with a type of cancer. The time this staging process can take might be a few months to many years.
