  1. Final “Thots” on Preventing Subluxation: Exercise (whole-body movement) Avoid patterned, repetitious somatic behaviors Live more “naturally”

  2. BJ Palmer referred to this as “Hygienic Living:” “The restoration of natural conditions, as far as possible, in the midst of civilized circumstances, is the meaning of the word hygiene in chiropractic.” “Hygiene, chiropractically, is the restoration of natural and healthful environmental conditions which have been made abnormal by the necessities of civilized life.” Source: Stephenson, Textbook of Chiropractic, 1927, pp. 133-4

  3. Subluxation: the “natural” outcome of “unnatural” living

  4. Dr. James Chestnut: Eat well Move well Think well

  5. Seven behaviors associated with a healthy lifestyle and increased lifespan: Three meals/day at regular times and no “snacking” Breakfast every day Moderate weight No alcohol or only in moderation Adequate sleep (7-8 hours/night) Moderate exercise (2-3 times/wk) No smoking

  6. Patient Media’s “10 Ways to Help Us to Help You”

  7. One last reference of interest:

  8. JMPT, 29(9), Nov/Dec 2006, 726-761 “white paper” review; 387 references Sections: anatomy, biomechanics, somatic nervous system, animal models, immune system, human studies related to the autonomic nervous system

  9. “ As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
