Life is constant adaptation to various external forces. We know that adaptation is always good because its only goal is to preserve and protect the organism. Unfortunately, for various reasons, we cannot always adapt to these forces. Dysfunction of the organism, symptoms and disease, is the result of an inability to properly adapt.
To better understand adaptation we need to look at the various features which make an organism capable of adapting in the first place. Organisms are constructed of innate matter which is organized and instructed by an innate intelligence. When a force is applied to the organism the innate intelligence instructs the innate matter how to properly adapt that force to further benefit the organism as a whole. If the innate matter fails to properly adapt, because the force introduced is to powerful or the innate intelligence cannot properly instruct the innate matter, damage to the organism will occur.
For example, with the nice weather lately more people have been getting outside and enjoying the sun. Initially the body uses this UV ray exposure to produce Vitamin D which the body can use to better the organism as a whole. After a certain point the innate intelligence will instruct the innate matter to begin sweating in order to cool the body, as well produce melanin to protect from the continuous external force of the sun’s UV rays. The body can only adapt in this constructive way for so long before damage will begin to occur. At some point the body must begin blistering and bring protective fluid to the site to limit the damage being created by this external force.

The body will constantly adapt to external forces up until the point at which life ends, but it is limited in its ability to properly adapt because of the limitations of the matter which it is made up of. The innate intelligence of our bodies has no limitation. It is constantly striving for perfect health, but it organizes and instructs a limited entity, innate matter. Individually we can affect the construction of our innate matter through nutrition as well as exercise and rest. The chiropractor works to maintain the proper expression of your innate intelligence so it can properly organize and instruct your innate matter. The combination of proper innate expression as well as properly constructed innate matter leads to great body adaptation, or great life expression.
