System Balancing

Zone One - The Glandular System - The Body's Thermastat

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

The glands have been called the "body’s balance wheels." To maintain normal health, it is imperative that the glandular system be kept in balance. Every organ and function of the body is directly influenced by the glands. The condition of the eyes, hair, complexion, teeth, skin, heart, joints, nails, nerves, bones, blood, and ligaments is dependent to a very marked degree upon glandular balance. Whenever a person has a disturbance in the glandular system, he does not have normal health.

But where can we find the doctor–whether in the field of medicine, chiropractic, or any other branch of healing–who knows specifically how to assist one of the glands of the body without affecting the others? This is the problem that the doctor has today in correcting glandular disorders, especially the disorders of the endocrine or ductless glands. The Glandular zone allows us not only to work specifically with one gland but to correct the whole system. No doctor knows exactly how much thyroxin is required each day to supply the needs of the thyroid gland in every patient. Only Innate Intelligence knows that. It knows how much to measure out each day. The quantity varies according to the person’s activities. When the nervous system is functioning properly, the Innate Power knows exactly how much to secrete into that body each day for normal activity. That is when we have a normal or perfect Glandular Health.

There are over 200 glands of the body. They are all organized, regulated, and controlled by Innate Intelligence from the Glandular Center of the brain located in the hypophysis (pituitary). When any of the glands of the body have been disturbed by trauma, shock, disease germs, disease concepts, sudden strong emotions, toxins, foreign matter, strain, etc., there may be a reflex nervous action through the brain centers and nerves that make up the Glandular Zone. If this disturbance is of sufficient intensity, one or more vertebral subluxations may result. These subluxations prohibit normal nerve energy from the brain to the glands, resulting in decreased activity in some glands and increased activity in others.

A disturbance of the Glandular Brain Center that controls the glandular functions of the body can be detected in the area designated as Zone 1. On the left side, Zone 1 is immediately to the right of the occipital groove of the mastoid portion of the temporal bone, and on the right, Zone 1 is immediately to the left of the occipital groove. In palpating this area, the doctor feels for a tense or taught ligament, which will elicit pain if pressed upon. If tenderness and the taut fiber are evident, Zone 1 is disrupted. The patient may be told that he is suffering from a glandular disturbance. The doctor then adjusts...

The immediate effect of the application of the adjustment is a stimulative action on the nerve centers. The entire body is composed of electrons, and each cell is virtually a battery composed of electrons in definite relationship with each other. When the cell is deprived of its normal nerve supply, a lack of cohesion of the elements comprising the cell develops. As a result of the concussion of forces incident to the application of the thrust, there is condensation of the electrons composing the cell, in consequence of which it functions more actively. In other words, the cell generates impulses as a result of the stimulation it received in the form of the thrust. This stimulation, coupled with the restored nerve supply resulting from the specific adjustment, travels upward along the route of the nerves to the Brain Center, thereby bringing about normalcy to the entire Zone.

The immediate effects obtained by the scientific adjustment of the associated vertebrae can be ascribed to stimulation of the associated nerve centers. These nerves convey stimuli from the periphery to the Central Brain Center and from the Central Brain center back to the periphery. Unless these pathways are free from subluxations, neither the afferent nor the efferent impulses will reach their destination.

If the brain center, which is in control of the Glandular System and governed by Innate Intelligence, is left unacquainted with the needs of the periphery, the necessary impulses will not be generated, because it is a fact that all outgoing nerve force is generated in response to a stimulus from the periphery. Were these not true, there would be no need for nerve endings in the periphery. All that would be required would be outgoing nerves designed to convey impulses to the various parts of the body.

The fact, however, that there are peripheral nerve endings, and that their stimulation excites the generation of impulses by any structure in the organism is communicated to the Central Brain Center and Innate Intelligence. Since the functional activity of each part is dominated by the impulses that it receives from the Brain Center, and since these impulses are generated only when the Brain Center is made acquainted with this need, it follows that the pathways over which incoming and outgoing nerve impulses travel must be free from spinal subluxations.

Therefore, adjustment of the subluxated vertebra- removing the impingement from the nerve pathway is considered the most effective, natural, and permanent means of restoring a Brain Center and nerve circuit to normal.

With the proper adjustment of the subluxated vertebra, the tenderness in the Zone should disappear and normal transmission of the Zone will be complete.

In other words, when there is the normal flow of energy from the Brain Center to the tissue cells of the organs and glands, we have health in the Glandular Zone. But if something creates a subluxation or a short circuit, whatever what it might be, we no longer have the normal flow of energy from the brain to the tissue cells and, as a result, we have a disease or disorder in one or more of the glands.

We challenge any doctor to find one diseased gland in the body of a patient and yet find the rest of them healthy. The greatest laboratory in the world cannot prove that only one gland goes out of order at a time. A whole group of them suffers. If this condition lasts long enough, all of the glands, in essence, begin operating below normal, or subnormally.

Zone Two - The Eliminative System - The Body's Waste Disposal Plant

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

All activities in the body require energy, whether the muscles, nerves, or glands. Energy implies oxidation, and oxidation produces waste products that must be removed through the Eliminative System. Regardless of the high quality of the person’s food or the good quality of his blood, that person cannot enjoy health for long if the Eliminative Zone is out of order.

When Innate Intelligence created the human body, it placed into the brain a center charged with the responsibility of removing waste products from the body. This center includes portions of the medulla, pons, hypothalamus, hypophysis, pituitary stalk, fourth ventricle, and cerebrum. When we speak of elimination, most people immediately think of the bowels, but this is only one channel of elimination. Normal elimination through the sinuses, lungs, skin, and kidneys is equally important. The principle organs of the Eliminative Zone can then be listed as follows:

Food alone cannot make and keep the body healthy, for food only makes blood, and the cells can only accept nutrients from the blood when they are not congested with waste matter. It is imperative, therefore, to keep the tissues free from toxic congestion by keeping the channels of elimination working efficiently.

A disturbance of the Eliminative Zone Center can be detected in the second Zone Space medial from the Occipital Groove of the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Upon palpitation, tenderness will be found in the taut fibers in this area if the Eliminative Zone is out of harmony with the controlling brain center. To restore the entire circuit to normal, the doctor adjusts the following points:

Peripheral stimulation of the afferent nerves in this center, when transmitted to the spinal cord, cause the following: (1) A stimulation of the motor center, a discharge of nerve impulses to the muscles calling forth a contraction; (2) A stimulation of the inhibitor center, a discharge of the nerve impulses to the muscles involved calling forth their relaxation and inhibition. During this activity, the discharge of the toxic material takes place.

In calling for an increased excretion from the kidneys, by a stimulative thrust over the nerves emitting from the spine at the Twelfth Dorsal Vertebra, the following activity takes place: Stimulation of the central end of the inferior splanchnic (at the 12th Dorsal) causes a reflex inhibition of the sphincter muscle and a contraction of the detrusor muscle. Simultaneously, the internal urethra sphincter is inhibited in the consequence of an inhibition of its spinal center. As a result, the urine is freely discharged.

The tonus of the colon is regulated by the Eliminative Center of the brain, through the central nervous system, through both augmenter and inhibitor nerves. The augmenter nerves comprise both preganglionic and postganglionic fibers. The former have their origin in the lumbar region (2nd Lumbar) of the spinal cord, from which they emerge at the Second Lumbar. They then pass into, and through, the sympathetic chain and the inferior mesenteric ganglion around the cells of which they arborize. The postganglionic fibers pass directly to the muscle fibers of the intestinal wall. Stimulation will cause increased evacuation from the intestines.

Zone Three - The Nervous System - Communication/Software Network

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

The Third zone is called the Nerve or Nervous Zone. The control center of the Nervous Zone is in the cerebrum, the upper part of the brain. The cerebrum controls our thoughts and emotions. It is divided into two distinct halves called hemispheres. The hemispheres of the cerebrum have no connection with each other until we get down to a great underlying transverse bridge, known as the corpus callosum, which contains millions of transverse nerve lines over which the working interchange takes place between the two hemispheres. Energy flows over the nerve lines in measurable form and quantity, and a similar energy exists in the cells, the ganglia, and the tissue masses of the brain and throughout the nervous system. When this energy becomes kinetic, when it flows, it activates the machinery of the mind.

There are two ways of dividing the nervous system. One method is to group the brain, the spinal cord, and the cranial and spinal nerves together and call it the cerebrospinal system; and to group the vast structure of internal nerves that go to the vital organs and call it the ganglionic or sympathetic system.

The other method is to group together the brain and the spinal cord, calling them the central nervous system. The twelve cranial nerves, and the thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves, all the sensory nerves and the automatic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic systems) are then grouped together and called peripheral nervous system.

According to the first method, we have two divisions of the nervous system. According to the latter, we have three or four divisions. The latter method is a newer concept. It is better because it keeps the cranial, the spinal, and the automatic nerves clearly before the mind and enables us to refer to them as separate groups.

In reality, there are no actual divisions in the nervous system insofar as its physiological functioning is concerned or in its anatomical aspect. The nervous system, from the apex of the brain to the tips of the fingers and toes, and through the plexuses to the glands and vital organs of the body, is mechanically a united whole. It all works together as a unit. The nervous system is one, not many, not separate. Anything that influences one part of the nervous system may have a profound influence on the functions of all other parts of the system.

The basic, fundamental component of the brain and nervous system is the neuron or nerve cell, composed of dendrites, cell body, axon, and specialized nerve endings. The central nervous system and the ganglia in various parts of the body are full of nerve cells, further, there are one or more individual cells in the peripheral ends of certain nerve fibers.

The fibers are of two kinds. We have short associated fibers and the longer fibers reaching to peripheral extremities, the latter being bound together in bundles that we call nerve trunk lines. No nerve in the body is more than three feet long, each length of nerve being equipped with a receiving and a discharging terminal. When a current is passing over a nerve route, from the brain to the big toe, for example, the current passes through relay stations, some of which are known as plexuses. The simpler, non-mechanical relay points are called synapses.

The brain center which controls the Nervous Zone may get out of harmony with the other parts of the Zone due to many causes. When this occurs, certain disease phenomena tend to occur. A correction of the Zone will cause an improvement, not only in the entire nervous system but in various organs associated with the Zone.

When the Nervous zone is abnormal, tenderness will be found in the third space along the Occipital Arc. Correction of the zone is brought about by a specific adjustment on the vertebrae that are subluxated and by a stimulative thrust on the associated vertebrae in the Zone. The vertebrae that may be subluxated are as follows:

Usually the sublaxtion will be at the Third Cervical or at the Fourth Thoracic, except during the female menstrual period, when the sublaxation is often found at the Third Lumbar.

It is necessary that one understands and observes the Laws of the Body — sufficient exercise, proper nutrition, normal elimination, and adequate rest - to maintain health of the nervous system. This should be emphasized especially in cases of so-called "nervous breakdown," where mental or emotional causes may predominate. The Glandular, Eliminative, Digestive, Muscular, and Circulatory Zones are all involved in maintaining normal health in what we call the Nervous Zone.

Zone Four - The Digestive System - Supplying The Energy For Life

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

The Fourth Zone is the Digestive Zone. As we explore this zone, you will note an overlapping of the zones insofar as some vertebrae are concerned and some of the systems involved. In fact, like the divisions of the nervous system, you can never have one Zone affected without, to some degree, affecting one or more of the other Zones. They are all, more or less, dependent upon each other.

The human body is a chemical laboratory. It differs from an ordinary chemical laboratory in that the Innate Intelligence within the body has knowledge of chemical phenomena unknown to the best chemists on earth. Innate Intelligence is the ultimate chemist. The center through which Innate regulates the digestion and assimilation of foods and the manufacture of substances used to keep the body in health is located in the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain. Certain glands secrete substances that cause the blood vessels of the body to maintain tone and contractility. From other tissues come antagonistic chemicals that relax the arteries, one set of chemicals keeping a system of checks and balances over the other, working in mutual and intelligent opposition to each other.

Functioning in the body are chemical processes and actions far beyond the ken of the world’s greatest chemist. There are mysteries of medicines, enzymes, colors, hormones, magical actions that, be it remembered, are always tending toward health unless the encroachments of wrong living interfere with the functioning of the Innate Intelligence.

In physical laboratories, if chemicals are combined heedlessly and thoughtlessly, explosions, flames, and deadly gases result. This is also true of the human digestive tract. If chemicals from foods, drinks, or toxins are incorrectly combined, there will be severe reactions, heat, and poisonous gases generated within the body that produce much suffering. Fermentation and putrefaction often result in the stomach and intestinal tract. Poisonous waste products clog the eliminative channels, and this further complicates an overburdened digestive system.

The Digestive Zone is a very important Zone, since the entire body depends upon the food that it is made of : therefore, unless a person has some knowledge concerning proper food combinations, the Fourth Zone is probably in a state of constant subluxation. However, it should be stated that the six Health Zones are important to each other since they are mutually dependent upon each other. To maintain normal digestive health, the glands must be healthy. The eliminative and circulatory systems must function properly. Healthy muscles are required to have a normal digestion, normal muscle tone, and normal contractility.

We know much about what happens to the digestive tract under stress. So we can design ways of eating that will replenish the energy being dissipated by a stressful situation, and put the least amount of strain on the organs already being strained to function under stressful conditions. Some people stop eating altogether under stress. Others eat too much. Still others choose the wrong kind of food to eat. All three are destructive, and they all lead to trouble. The "self-starvers" are likely to suffer from depletion, since they are expending energy and not replenishing it. Fatigue, irritability, and loss of efficiency are the obvious prices that they must pay, and serious illness may be the result, including damage to the heart. Fasting has its merits as a cleansing and revitalizing measure, but a well-planned program of fasting for health does not mean self-starvation. Certainly, prolonged ‘not eating’ is a self-destructive act.

When under stress, many of us are conscious of a "nervous appetite." This is a more logical expression of the body’s needs, since there is a greater demand for more fuel when so much of it is being depleted by stress, and so we must eat.

In certain cases, there is an over-secretion of the stomach acid or an undersecretion of protective mucous when under stress. Thus, the person may suffer indigestion or peptic or duodenal ulcers. Here again, the Glandular, the Nervous, and the Muscular Zones may all be involved. Overactivity of the intestines may cause diarrhea. Over consumption of wrong foods, poor digestion, and sluggish elimination may also produce such a condition. Constipation often exists when the Digestive Zone is out of order.

A disturbance of the Digestive Brain Center, located in the floor of the fourth ventricle, may be detected in the fourth space along the occipital Arc. This tenderness is often found on both sides. The specific subluxation in this Zone is usually found at the Fourth Thoracic Vertebra, but sometimes at the Eighth Thoracic. The Digestive Zone is composed of the following areas:

The doctor corrects the specific subluxations and gives stimulative thrusts on the associated vertebrae to restore this Zone to normal.

Zone Five - The Muscular System - The Framework Of The Body

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

A knowledge of the muscular system is very important to the doctor. The movement of every member of the body depends upon the muscles; moreover, the life processes could not continue to function without them. There is probably no clearer index to general physical condition than the state of the muscles. Good muscle tone is usually an indicator of good health and vitality, whereas flabby, toneless muscles suggest debility, not only of the muscles themselves but of the entire body. Clearly, it is vital io keep the Muscular System functioning normally.

The muscles of the body are intimately connected with the Nervous System. In fact, an impinged or damaged nerve may produce detectable muscle atrophy in just two weeks. Muscles are also closely associated with the Circulatory Zone, the Digestive Zone, the Eliminative Zone, and the Glandular Zone. If the muscles are not properly nourished due to poor blood supply, or poor circulation, they become flabby, and the person becomes lazy and weak. Every organ and function of the body is directly influenced by the glands, which in turn influence the muscles. The muscles also control the digestion of food, as well as the elimination of waste matter from the body. Making the muscular system as perfect as possible should be a major objective of every doctor who works with the nervous system.

Each muscle in the body has a certain degree of sustained muscular contraction that is natural. This is known as tone, which is referred to by Dr. D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic,as health.

There is a brain center, composed of portions of the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the reticular nuclei, which controls impulses to the muscles maintaining them in the state of mild, sustained contraction known as tone. A violin string offers the best example of the concept of tone. A correctly-tuned violin string is in a state of normal tone. If it is too tightly stretched, its tone is increased. If it is loose, the tone is diminished. It is the same with all the muscles of the body. They should be kept in a state of normal tone.

Tone is not a fixed permanent condition but is subject to variations. If the tone of any muscles were to be registered with an instrument, we would see the instrument oscillating back and forth like the magnetic needle of a compass. A rested, healthy body has an increased tone. To verify this statement, one may observe hikers setting out on a trip in the early morning, and then see them returning in the evening. Their tone has decreased. They have become smaller, more round-shouldered, and their heads tend to fall forward because the sustained tension of the neck muscles is diminished. The change of tone may be observed in their faces. The skin of healthy, refreshed individuals is taut. When the individuals become tired, the tone of the muscles is decreased, folds appear in the skin, and the faces present an appearance of weariness.

The cerebrum, cerebellum, and the reticular formation are the seat of the brain center from which the Innate Intelligence coordinates and regulates the muscles of the body. The activity of this center is largely reflex in origin and is excited by impulses that come to it from peripereral organs. In this activity, as in other forms of reflex activity, the mechanism involves; (1) afferent nerves; for example, cutaneous, muscle spindles, retina, and semicircular canals, all directly connected with (2) the cerebellar centers; (3) efferent nerves indirectly connected with (4) the general musculature of the body.

Both station and progression are directly dependent on the development and transmission of afferent impulses from the previously mentioned peripheral sense organs to the cerebrum. Tactile, muscle, visual, and labyrinthine impressions and sensations not only cooperate in the development and organization of the motor adjustments necessary to the maintenance of the equilibrium and locomotive coordination but, even after their organization, they are necessary to the excitation of cerebral activity.

From experience, it has been found that any injury or shock, physical or emotional, will distort the normal nerve functioning of the Muscular Zone. This results not only in a disruption of muscular equilibrium of the body but also a displacement of the normal center of gravity. This muscular imbalance and the shift in the normal center of gravity may be detected as pain or tenderness in the fifth space along the Occipital Arc.

Tenderness will be found, usually on only one side. In each case, the tender side will be in such a state of contraction all along the Zone that one of the limbs will be much shorter than the other, due to the muscular pull on the iliacs and the sacrum. The entire skeleton, for the time being, is rendered fixed and rigid at all of its joints by the combined action of the muscles connected with it.

One chiropractic technique concerns itself with the correction of these bodily displacements. When their specific adjustment does not remove the contractions, they resort to the use of lifts, in an endeavor to throw added weight to the relaxed fibers and less weight to those contracted. Under Concept-Therapy Technique, this bodily distortion is corrected by proper adjustment of the Fifth Zone, sometimes the muscle correction occurs as soon as the last stimulative thrust has been given.

As stated previously, the brain center from which the Innate Intelligence controls and regulates the muscles of the body, is composed of portions of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the vestibular formation. If there is tenderness in the fifth occipital space, it will usually be on just one side, and usually you will find a short leg on that side. The specific subluxation will be at any of the following vertebrae:

The doctor corrects the specific subluxations by an adjustment, then gives a stimulative thrust on the other vertebrae.

Zone Six - The Circulatory/Lymphatic System - The Body's Plumbing System

As each system moves from an IMBALANCED or SUPPRESSED state to one of BALANCE and VITALITY these different aspects of your body function better.

The nervous system is the "master system" that controls every function of the body, either directly or indirectly. There are six functional brain centers that direct the structure and functions of the six Health Zones.

As the body may properly be classified as an electrical machine, these centers may be thought of as the positive pole and associated centers in the nervous system opposite the vertebrae as the negative pole. When there is a disturbance to any of the bodily areas, one or more of these centers are "shorted out," so to speak. There has been a disruption of normal function in the entire center due to the effect of trauma, shock, disease germs, disease concepts, toxins, foreign matter, strain, etc. In this case, all bodily tissues innervated by the affected center suffer.

The proper thing to do is to locate the disrupted center and bring about a correction. We cannot, of course, dissect the brain to correct the center that exists there, but we can locate the center by tracing the associated nerves. Next we can trace the associated centers in the nervous system and find the cause of irregularity. Finally, we can correct the subluxation by a scientific chiropractic adjustment, give proper stimulation to the other associated vertebrae, thereby bringing the entire circuit back to normal. Just how to proceed, where to locate the disturbance, and how to bring about correction is the Chiropractic Health Zone Analysis Technique of Concept-Therapy.

The Sixth Zone, or the Circulatory Zone, is involved in many diseases and problems of the human race. Perfect health cannot exist in a body where circulation is impaired. Normal circulation depends upon motion or exercise. It is imperative, therefore, that the individual obey the Law of Movement so that the Circulatory System may function normally. Movement involving the larger groups of muscles in the body is a powerful stimulator of the general circulation and the lymphatic system. The Innate Power has constructed the human body so there is a continuous flow of blood and other fluids to all parts of the body. Any interruption of this normal flow results in a disease or disorder. The heart is the pump that propels the blood, and if it ceases to function for only a few minutes, death results.

The wastes of each cell are carried out, and disposed of, through the Circulatory System. The blood, containing all of the essential food substances that it gets from the intestines and other digestive organs, must flow normally to and from every tissue, organ, or gland, otherwise it cannot possibly nourish the tissues or carry away the waste created in them.

The irritability and physiological activity of the tissues, organs, and glands of the body are dependent not only on the presence of the blood but on its continuous movement as well. Each organ, tissue, and gland is the seat of active metabolism, the maintenance of which is essential to physiological activity. This metabolism is characterized by the assimilation and use of food materials and the production of waste products. For the metabolism to be maintained, it is imperative that there is a continuous supply of food materials and a continuous removal of wastes. Both conditions are subserved by the blood when it is in proper circulation.

The apparatus by which the foregoing results are attained consists of : (1) A central double organ, the heart, which by pumping action imparts movement to the blood. (2) A series of branching diverging tubes, the arteries, which, originating in the left side of the heart, distribute the blood to all regions of the body. (3) A network of minute vessels, the capillaries, which, due to the thinness of their walls, permit the passage of nutritive materials from the blood into the surrounding tissue spaces and, also, the passage of waste materials from the tissue spaces into the blood. (4) A series of uniting and converging tubes, the veins, which - originating in the capillaries - collect and return the blood to the right side of the heart.

From the right side of the heart, a second series of arteries, capillaries and veins, respectively, distribute the blood to the lungs. They permit the passage of carbon dioxide from the blood into the lungs and of oxygen from the lungs into the blood. Then they return the blood to the left side of the heart.

The foregoing structures are so related, one to the other, as to form a closed system in which the blood is kept in continuous movement. It is made to flow into, and out of, the tissues in volumes varying according to their activities, with a certain velocity and a given pressure. Only through the proper maintenance of these conditions, can the blood fulfill its functions and can the irritability and the physiological activity of the tissues be sustained. In this system, a particle of blood that passes any given point will eventually return to the same point, no matter how intricate or tortuous the route may be through which it must travel. Thus, the blood is said to move in a cycle, and the movement itself is called circulation.

Upon construction of the human body, Innate Intelligence created a regulatory center that controls the normal circulatory flow of blood and other fluids throughout the body. This Brain Center includes portions of the medulla oblongata, the pons, the hypothalamus, and the cerebral cortex. A disturbance of this center may be detected in the sixth space in the Occipital Arc. Tenderness in this area indicates that the circulation of fluids within the body is not normal.

We can liken the flow of fluids through the body to the water system in a great city. The regulatory station of the waterworks has its machinery geared for a certain pressure in accord with the amount of water to be used at the end of the system. The pump is kept going to replenish the supply in the tanks to compensate for the outgo. If, however, no one used any water, then the pump would have to cease activity, and the system pressure would have to be changed accordingly. On the other hand, if the city had a drought and everyone used water, then the system pressure would diminish. The pump would then have to work faster, and the pressure would be increased.

In like manner, when the Circulatory Brain center regulates the flow of fluids within the body, all is well as long as nothing occurs along the periphery. But, when arteries, capillaries, or veins contract or develop leaks or become extended, the pressure must be changed to compensate. If, due to neural obstruction along the route, the center is unable to make the necessary change, then conditions such as high or low blood pressure, varicose veins, and other circulatory disorders may occur. The restoration of the circulatory zone and the proper stimulation, with specific adjustment and stimulative thrusts, enables the brain center to compensate, and these conditions may be eliminated. The vertebrae to be examined for disruption of the Zone are:

At one or more of these, vertebrae will be subluxated. This will be corrected with a specific adjustment, and a stimulative thrust will be applied to the associated vertebrae. Then the sixth space along the Occipital Arc is rechecked. If tenderness has disappeared, the Zone has been corrected. The brain should then be able to produce a normal condition in the entire Circulatory System of the body.
