Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
— Hippocrates.
Applying Principle 17
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.
My “Why”
“Healing is a matter of time, but sometimes it is a matter of opportunity” -Hippocrates
The purpose of this blog is to explain my “why” when it comes to chiropractic. What is the reasoning behind why I personally want to be a Chiropractor. To be honest I had no idea this is what I wanted to do until a year and a half before I started chiropractic school. I had never been under chiropractic care or even been adjusted and had no idea what it even was. So how did I decide this is what I wanted to do?
All throughout school I loved science and anatomy classes and knew I wanted a profession in healthcare. It wasn’t until my Junior year of college that I thought about chiropractic. I was required to do an internship that summer and decided to intern at a chiropractic office from back home. I gained so much insight about what Chiropractors actually do and how connected they were with their patients and the community. And that really stood out to me, how they related to their patients, how they truly cared for them and wanted to help. That’s when I knew that through this profession I can not only help people improve their overall health but I can also make real connections with them.
To me community is everything. It is so important to make connections and relationships with people because achieving success alone is nearly impossible. Growing up I’ve always lived in a small town. One of those towns where literally everyone knows everyone. So when deciding where I want to open my business one day that will be the most important aspect for me. Finding a community that is accepting, supportive, and connected. I’m excited for the future and I want to accomplish great things. So knowing I’ll have such a supportive community behind every step of the way is so reassuring.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
