“Rights and Responsibilities”

Rights and Responsibilities

You are undoubtedly familiar with the basic human rights written by Thomas Jefferson. Our Creator also blessed us with life, liberty, and the ability to pursue happiness. But when it comes to your health, it is important not to confuse rights with responsibilities.

For example, while you have the RIGHT to go to any restaurant that suits your taste – you are RESPONSIBLE for choosing healthy items on the menu to properly nourish your body.

While you have the RIGHT to sit on the couch and watch a football game all day – you are RESPONSIBLE for exercising regularly so that your body does not become apathetic and unhealthy. While you have the RIGHT to go bungee jumping, ride roller coasters, or engage in combat – you are RESPONSIBLE for maintaining spinal alignment (without interference from subluxations), so that your nervous system can clearly organize all the physiological processes necessary to keep you alive.

Yes, we all have the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But only YOU can be responsible for preserving and maintaining your health. Yes, your Creator gave you the breath of life, a body, and an innate intelligence to govern them all. But it is up to YOU – not your insurance company, your primary care physician, or your political party – to protect them well.
