"The wisdom of the body is responsible for 90% of the hope of patients to recover. The body has a super wisdom that is in favor of life, rather than death. This is the power that we depend on for life. All doctors are responsible for letting their patients know of this great force working within them." - Dr. Richard Cabot
At first glance you would think a chiropractor was responsible for the words above. But they were actually written by a Harvard Medical School instructor in the late 1800's. While this belief is trivialized and minimized by the medical and pharmaceutical community today, it remains the core foundation in the practice of Chiropractic.
Chiropractors humbly acknowledge that 'the ONLY thing that can heal the body is the Power that created it.' The wisdom Dr. Cabot refers to in his quote is called innate intelligence. It is the coordinating force that maintains our body's health. It knowingly orchestrates all the steps involved in the healing process from mending a broken bone to putting cancer into remission. This intelligence wants you to live rather than you to die.
The most important job of a chiropractor is to teach you about this great force and keep you connected to it. If you want to meet the REAL doctor responsible for healing you, take a look in the mirror. It's the one staring right back at you.
