People have learned that neither side has all the answers, and neither side alone can be trusted. I often wonder what our children and grandchildren will think about the biological education and health care foci during the 20th century. Einstein provided evidence in the early 1900s to satisfy the evidence-based mechanists. Energy equates with matter directly. Unified fields are scientific reality.
Mechanism is obsolete.
Well, it took us four decades to figure out how to incinerate each other with this information, and another 50 years to clue in on the role of energy techniques for healing and system imbalance determinations. The chiropractic energy concept of innate intelligence survived a 100 years of berating, despite the Einsteinian axiom to support its existence. The concept reached textbook status with the superlative work of Ader, Cohen and Felten in 1991. The discoveries in the 1980s of receptors on T cells, the control cells of the immune system, for neurochemicals as well as receptors in the brain for immunochemicals, proved that the two are in concert and can modulate the functions of both systems. PNI does not enjoy a place in medical, osteopathic, or chiropractic curriculum.
