But that is not restoration of health or wholeness. If the spark plug to one of my car cylinders is not firing, I may be able to ride on 5 cylinders but that is not a healthy car. It was designed to run on six. Medicine can occasionally and usually temporarily increase the quality of the matter. This increase is called treating diseases.
Medicine tries to change the matter.
Occasionally, usually by dumb luck, they succeed. When they succeed in changing matter so that the body can restore normal nerve supply by correcting its subluxations, people get well. More often they do not succeed. That has been the reason for the failure of medicine over the centuries and the reason for chiropractic's existence and its success. We do not attempt to change or improve the matter so that it can correct a vertebral subluxation, instead we give the innate intelligence of the body and external invasive force to work with, circumventing its limitations of matter so that it can correct the vertebral subluxation itself.
