Disease is defined as a dysfunction, incoordination, lacking health, transmission, coordination and well being

Which of the following was insignificant to chiropractic’s initial or early development?

Rationalization is the most common form of perception utilized in chiropractic philosophy.

Physical elements assemble and then express consciousness

Abnormal spinal alignment and its effect on circulation or body fluids

B.J. Palmer’s vitalistic perception of the human body was a manifestation & proof of an existence of intelligence within

The intent of early osteopathic technique did not include the following objective:

An organ taken out of a dead person may be kept alive for hours because it is still manifesting organ intelligence.

Nerve Impulse

Matter

Is the basis of mechanistic perception

Gnosis is superior knowledge that is above mere assimilation of facts and refers to right brain knowledge.

A manual procedure that uses controlled force, leverage, direction, amplitude and velocity directed at a specific joint

Living organisms manifest the properties and action of matter and energy

The human body is to some degree a self-healing, self-regulating organism.

“Bone-setting” became identified and stereotyped in the early 1900s as:

Federal Accreditation (CCE, 1974) was directly responsible for chiropractic licensure in all states.

The process of biology, physiology and life are completely explicable by the use of chemistry, physics, and math alone.

Control of healthcare by insurance industry in early 1900’s was a major obstacles that restricted chiro’s early growth.

Strauss’s text: if a principle is true in the perceptible realm, then it is true in the imperceptible realm.

Supports the empirical process of thought and perception.

The most serious challenge to orthodox medicine was homeopathy; patients preferred it over medicine because:

Underscores the importance of chiropractic care in maintaining the well-being of the entire individual.

Maintenance/Exisitence

Strauss suggests that a chiropractors “adjusting technique” determines the philosophical basis of their practice.

“Head knowledge” is the “left” or “nous” of the brain and the term “kardia” means “heart knowlege” or right brain.

The term “Chiropractic” was coined by Samuel Weed from two Greek/Latin terms, cheer (hand) and praxis (practice).

Innate intelligence is related to intelligence at the atomic level and functions in accord with bio and physio processes

The vitalistic ability of living things to maintain constancy of their internal makeup and balance is the definition of:

Realizes the significance of the “non-material” and the innate intelligence of the human body.

Innate Intelligence relates to all the following except:

Universal intelligence would best be defined in chiropractic as:
