THE CAUSE OF DISEASE

Disease a Morbid Process

Beginning of the Process The Cause of Disease Vital Energy One Nerve System Chiropractic Hypothesis Trauma Affects Spinal Nerves Direct Chain Accessory Chains Concussion of Forces Subluxation Impingement of Nerves Excitation or Inhibition Effect Upon Single Cell Effect Upon Organs Simple Subluxation Disease

SECONDARY CAUSES GERM DISEASES

Increase of Subluxations

DIET POISONS EXPOSURE BODILY EXCESSES ABNORMAL MENTAL STATES INFLAMMATION IN CONCLUSION THE PROCESS OF CURE

Cure of Simple Subluxation Disease Cure of a Germ Disease Cure of Mental Disease Cure of Dietetic Disease Cure of Poisoning Cases Cure of Exposure Disease Cure of Bodily Excess Disease

ADJUNCTS

SPINO-ORGANIC CONNECTION

The Field of Study

Segmentation Development of the Nerve System The Spinal Column and Cranium The Adult Nerve System The Body Axis Concussion of Forces Affects Spinal Column Comparative Anatomy Causes of Segmental Changes Necessity for Table of Spino-Organic Connection Method of Investigation Kinds of Evidence Acceptable
