Explanation of Chart No. 8

literally applied here, traced and sketched in Chart No. 2 for therapy. "As below, so above" refers to the return currents from below, included here for therapeutic applications and their release on the neck, from below upward.

That is the path of pain. Please do not forget this: All sensory currents pass from below, upward and from the outside, inward. RELEASE THESE BLOCKS AND PAIN WILL VANISH OR WILL BE MITIGATED BY A BETTER BALANCE OF FUNCTION AND CURRENT FLOW.

All this is the answer most doctors have been looking for as a real sensible explanation and practical application, through VITALITY BALANCE, above and below. Truth carries through to all fields and applications. But this is most valuable for all doctors who use manipulative therapy. It works astonishingly well and is far more potent and effective than any adjustments to relieve pain because the fundamental principle is closer to the real vital function than is the mechanical principle and its application.

Mechanical correction has its own field in mechanical injuries by violent external impacts, such as fractures and dislocations. There the mechanical therapy shines, as when a break is set and rested, or a twist in a joint is put in its place again. But for other sensory or functional pain release, the answer is not mechanics, because that is out of its field.

Even structural relations and their corrections depend more on the ENERGY IMPULSES WHICH PRODUCE MUSCULAR DISTORTIONS OF JOINTS by their spasm THAN ON THE MECHANICAL CORRECTIONS OF IT. That is why they don't stay put. A spinal lesion once produced is there, and will be there, in spite of all adjustments. X-rays have proved this to be correct. When given the mechanical correction, the same patient usually comes back with the same lesion to be corrected again and again. That is why a file record helps a lot as a time saver in that type of therapy. And that patient is helped by the work on this lesion or block, each time, because it stimulates the ENERGY CURRENT locally. That does not always relieve the pain, especially when it is sensory in nature and not due to a twist or sprain or dislocation.

Therapy can be made much more specific, simple, gentle and effective by understanding the ONE LIFE ENERGY and its play in the body. The top of the head is the upper jaw region; the jaw region in turn has a polarity reflex to the top of the trunk, etc.
