MY HEALTH
Health is a concept that has many meanings. One description of health is that a person’s body can maintain some semblance of balance without symptoms most of the time, despite all of the influences that can negatively affect this.
It is known in the naturopathic world that we have an immune system which helps to maintain balance or homeostasis. In addition to this is a larger neuroendocrine system with includes our brain, nervous system and hormonal system. What governs all of this is what I call our Cohesive Innate Intelligence (CII) in our body – the head manager let’s say. It is the CII which oversees everything and directs the functioning of your body and mind. It is in charge of auto-correcting the whole system when it malfunctions or gets off track.
Imagine an auto-pilot system in a plane. It functions on its own without the pilot’s focus. It can make macro or micro changes in direction and function depending on so many variables and factors such as wind speed, altitude, unexpected air pockets, etc.. This is similar to your CII system in our body. Now imagine if the auto-pilot system malfunctioned. Like any system on the plane it has the same capacity to malfunction as any other system. It is the same case for your CII system in your body. Without it functioning correctly you will not function as well and you will develop symptoms and disease.
My job is to correct your malfunctioning CII system. We also have to correct the dysfunction in your body that has developed since your CII system went off-line. By correcting these issues your body can again begin to auto-regulate itself without symptoms and with little aid to maintain homeostasis on its own.
This is my goal as a Naturopath, Osteopathic manual practitioner.
