The expression of Innate Intelligence through the educated brain has
functions to perform that are quite as essential and important in
their way as are the functions produced by the expression of Innate
Intelligence through the innate brain. Here is an illustration of
what is meant: Innate Intelligence sends mental impulses to the
liver and produces bile independent of educated brain. But if a man
is walking across the street and falls to the ground unconscious
he will be mutilated by traffic unless some one picks him up and
protects him. Innate is still in the body of the unconscious man,
but is not being expressed through the educated brain. The Innate
is powerless to protect that body from harm—it requires the
expression of an Innate Intelligence through the educated brain of
some other person to bring about an adaptation to circumstances and
protect the unconscious man. In this case the educated mind of one
individual is substituted for that of the other and the desired end
is accomplished. This educated function could not be expressed in the
unconscious man because of the inability of Innate Intelligence to be
functioning through the educated brain.
The functions of the educated mind as pertaining to the expression
of life in the body have to do mostly with the environment. It
is, therefore, within the scope of Chiropractic to study the
environmental conditions in order that the best interests of Innate
Intelligence in the expression of life in the body be protected.
Need for Conserving Energy
Reference has already been made to the fact that adaptation
to environment requires an expenditure of energy in case of
incoördination. When an individual is sick there is need for
conservation of energy to the fullest degree. At this time there
must be no unnecessary drain upon the body in order that all forces
may be centered upon the one thing—restoration. This leads us to a
consideration of removing every unnecessary demand upon Innate for
expenditure of energy so that all the forces may be utilized in the
process of restoration.
There are a number of points to be considered in the care of the sick
room where the patient is confined to his bed. There should be an
even temperature maintained at all times and great care taken that
the room is never overheated. The degrees at which temperature is
to be maintained will be governed somewhat by the character of the
incoördination. In conditions involving the respiratory tract the
room may be kept quite cold. The temperature of the sick room may
vary from 50° F. to 70° F. according to the incoördination.
