Vitalism: supports empirical process of thought and perception

The 1991 Harvard study reported a “latrogenic death rate” of approximately (annually):

Disease is a state of the body

Patients preferred homeopathy over medicine because (Wardwell):

Strauss suggests that a chiropractor’s “adjusting technique” determine the philosophical basis of their practice

“Major premise” in chiropractic philosophy addresses: subluxation

The “Wilk Law Suit” filed against the AMA resulted in the defendants of:

Vitalism: process of bio, physio & life can be explained by physics, math & chemistry alone

Bonesetting became identified & stereotyped in the early 1900s as:

“Major premise” in chiropractic philosophy addresses: maintenance/existence

Gnosis refers to the ______ side of the brain

Life is an expression/manifestation through matter

Understanding the significance of the imperceptible realm: basis of mechanistic perception

Life is the result of physical matter only

Primary difference b/w empiricism and rationalization is based on strong basis of perception

“Major premise” in chiropractic philosophy addresses: innate intelligence

chiropractic was coined by Samuel Weed from Greek/Latin terms cheer (hand) and praxis (practice)

Life is where intelligence and force meet

If it’s true in the perceptible realm, then it’s true in the imperceptible realm (Strauss)

“Major premise” in chiropractic philosophy addresses: nerve impulses

Matter has limitations

Innate intelligence is is at the cellular level and functions in accord with natural laws

Vitalism states that the health comes from the ______ of the body

Faith is a viable form of perception in chiropractic care, easily applicable to intellectual concepts (Strauss)

General adaptation syndrome produces all but:

“Major premise” in chiropractic philosophy addresses: matter

Deductive reasoning is different from inductive reasoning in that deductive reasoning:

Control of healthcare by insurance companies in the 1900s was an obstacle that restricted chiropractors early growth

Which of the following was insignificant to chiropractor’s early development?

Universal intelligence can be defined as:

Osteopathy’s philosophy is based on: innate & universal intelligence both organize matter @ atomic level

Innate intelligence creates innate forces which are expressed as neural impulses

The developer of chiropractic was:

Vitalism: realizes significance of non-material and innate intelligence of the human body

Federal accreditation was directly responsible for chiropractic licensure in all states

Stress is a state manifested by a specific system

Homeopathy’s past history is significant to today’s chiropractic profession in that:

Universal intelligence would be associated with organization at the atomic level

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

Atomism/mechanism does NOT include:

Innate intelligence relates to all EXCEPT

Chiropractic is a:

Both organic and inorganic matter express innate intelligence

According to Strauss, if a principle is true in their perceptible realm, then it is true in the imperceptible realm

BJ believed that the order/organization of the human body was a manifestation and proof of intelligence within

Living organism manifest the properties and action of matter and energy

The transmission of universal forces can be interfered with

“Head knowledge” and “nous” mean left brain. “Heart knowledge” and “kardia” mean right brain.

Universal intelligence would be associated with your beating heart

Lack of something

Presence of something

Atomism states that health comes from the _____ of the body

Which is NOT a part of general adaptation syndrome?

Physical elements assemble and then express consciousness

Flexner report summarized that:

Vitalism does NOT include:

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

Intent of early osteopathic technique didn’t include:

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

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

All physiological and biological processes cannot be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry alone

Dysfunction, incoordination, lacking health, transmission, coordination and well-being

Vitalistic ability of living things to maintain consistency of their internal make-up & balance is:

Osteopathic’s philosophy based on: abnormal spinal alignment & it’s effect on circulation of body fluids

Fundamental criticisms of orthodox medicine by non-allopathic clinicals does NOT include:

Federal accreditation of chiropractic colleges through CCE was the final outcome of Wilk vs. AMA lawsuit

The forces of universal intelligence are manifested as physical laws and are constructive

Mechanistic term to describe the body’s ability to heal itself

Understanding the significance of the imperceptible realm: underscores importance of chiropractors

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

Faith is a viable form of perception, equally applicable to empiricism and rationalization

Major premise in chiropractic philosophy relates to “priori” statement

Osteopathic’s philosophy was primarily based on the effects of the spine on brain stem pressure

Osteopathic’s philosophy during early development based on: of a vitalistic construct

Life is the expression of innate intelligence through living matter

Innate intelligence would be associated w/ organization at the atomic level

Efferent pathways of the nervous system: from brain to tissue cells

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

Osteopathic’s philosophy during early development based on: effects of spinal structure & neuro consequences

Both universal intelligence and innate intelligence are found in matter simultaneously
