What is health? It can be defined in many ways, but certainly regeneration must be ahead of breakdown and decay (entropy). You could say that disease is the opposite of that of course. Disease is where the body breaks down and the healing and regenerative properties can’t keep up with that decay.

It is immediately obvious when health is viewed this way that we must do all we can to maximise the expression of the bodies inborn (innate) intelligence while simultaneously avoiding speeding the process of entropy in the body. Do you know that when your food is processed and refined, grown in depleted soils, irradiated, genetically modified and I could go on and on, the food will be unable to supply the raw materials required by your Innate Intelligence to produce the optimally healthy body cells it is constantly striving to produce.

At ChiroPlus we are big on encouraging people to grow fruits and vege’s in their own back yard or whatever space you have (even if its only a balcony). We give away non hybridised seeds to our patients when we have them and we encourage you to share them through us with others when you have surplus. In this way we can help protect the seed stock which is being eroded by multinational corporations and their hybridised seeds.

Healthy food is food grown in naturally fertile soil with rich humus and a balanced ecosystem free of pesticides herbicides and artificial fertilisers. Giving your body all the nutrients it needs is a great start to maximising the expression of Innate Intelligence and minimising Entropy. What does all this have to do with headaches, back pain and neck pain? Probably not much. Chiropractors are experts at helping people with these things but we do it by removing interference to your bodies Innate Intelligence and this is the first thing to know.

Chiropractic is about getting rid of headaches, back pain and neck pain and of course Chiropractors are great at helping people with that, but the philosophy of Chiropractic lends itself to the maximum expression of life and health. That’s an awesome goal, don’t you think?

Welcome to our new blog which I hope will be a source of inspiration and information for you. Let’s start at the very beginning with the bad news and the good news. The beginning for me is Entropy. If you are not familiar with that term don’t worry, often people aren’t unless they are physicists. It means the breakdown of all matter and all energy which occurs universally.

If you have a cup of herbal tea, the phone rings and you become engrossed in the conversation, when you end the conversation and go back to your tea, where has all the heat gone? It’s has just dissipated into the universe right? That’s entropy. All the stars, including our sun, are giving off all their heat and it’s all being diluted and dispersed. Get an apple and put it in a jar. Come back in 5 years and where did the apple go? It turned to dust, right? That’s entropy too.

Guess what, your body (and mine) are included in universal entropy. We are all breaking down and decaying. That’s bad news. So here is the good news. Your body is also regenerating and rebuilding itself at the same time it’s breaking down. That regeneration is guided by what’s termed in natural health care as ‘Innate Intelligence’. That is the inborn genius of the body. The same intelligence that made you in the first place.

To achieve health we must make sure we are regenerating at an equal to or faster pace than entropy is causing the breakdown and decay. The aim of this blog is to explore what is required to do that.
