When it comes to the chiropractic principles, principle number 17 states “Every effect has a cause and every cause has effects”. This principle seems simple enough but really when you start to break it down it holds a lot of meaning and use behind it. This principle can also be easily applied to many different things in life and in nature.
Applying principle 17 to chiropractic can easily be used to explain causes and effects of mental impulses from the brain to the body. What causes the brain to send nerve impulses throughout the body are signals from the body to the brain. Also, how signals are received throughout the body is effected by how properly the brain and nerves are functioning. This is basically an endless cycle of causes and effects but outside forces can impact what’s causing the brain or body to act a certain way and it can impact how they’re effected. Principle 17 is great to use when explaining chiropractic but this principle doesn’t only have to apply to chiropractic. For example I’m currently taking a biochemistry class where so much depends on causes and effects.
One thing in biochemistry that can demonstrate cause and effect is how lipids insulate different areas of the body. For instance a specific lipid named sphingomyelin is the major lipid of the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath it the part of the axon that transmits signals to other axons. Sphingomyelin insulates the myelin sheath causing nerve impulses to properly be transmitted. If sphingomyelin wasn’t insulating the myelin sheath nerve impulses would be poorly transmitted or not transmitted at all. How properly the myelin sheath transmits the impulses effects how properly and fast the transmissions are being received.
