BJ Palmer is the developer of chiropractic. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from one of the brightest minds in human history.
The thing I love most about his quotes and the 33 principles of chiropractic is that they were made over 120 years ago and yet still hold true today.
Quotes from BJ Palmer
“Smile and smile often. Smile regularly. Smile when you don’t feel like it and you will feel like it when you smile.”
“Many of us take better care of our automobiles than we do our own bodies… yet the auto has replaceable parts.”
“Have you more faith in a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?”
“There is no effect without a cause. Chiropractors adjust causes. Others treat effects.”
“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.”
“So what Chiropractic does, is that it simply takes the handcuffs off nature, as it were. By finding the particular vertebra that had shifted and restoring it to its natural position, the adjustment thus releases the natural flow of nerve impulse. When the maze of nerves, or nature’s communication system, supplies the body with the energy it needs for well being, you have health.”
“Healing is a process afforded you by your Creator and is above and beyond the control of man. Your Chiropractor does everything possible to help Innate heal-but he cannot heal nor can anyone else produce healing for you. When the right adjustment is made, Innate goes to work. You feel the results when dis-ease turns to ease.”
“Knowledge is knowing a fact, wisdom is knowing what to do with that fact.”
“We never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.”
