Intro to Chiropractic Principles Flashcards
Which philosophy is correct according to Dr. Lipton?
Idealism (substance dualism), or Quantum/energy based reality
(T/F) Because allopathic medicine comes from a flawed philosophical position, its methods are not valuable.
False; these methods are valuable and can be life-saving in the right circumstances! A purely allopathic outlook on health and disease has some shortcomings though…
Philosophy works through _________ reasoning.
Deductive
What is the term in philsophy that means “to pull out of” or to derive meaninful conclusions from general principles through logical reasoning?
Deduction
(T/F): Philosophy usually reasons from the more general principle to the more specific case.
True
What reasoning follows the pattern: Laws –> Theory –> Research hypotheses –>Predicted relationships –> Facts –> Empirical observations
Deductive reasoning
What reasoning follows the patterns: Empirical observations –> Facts –> Empirical generalizations –> Conceptual framework –> Theory –> Laws
Inductive reasoning
B.J. Palmer argues that allopathic medicine is _______ in reasoning.
Inductive
What type of reasoning goes from specific to general
Inductive reasoning
Chiropractic is a __________ science.
Deductive
(T/F): Deductions in chiropractic are based upon a major premise that life is intelligent; that there is an intelligent creator, who created matter, attends to its existence and gives to it all that it has.
True
(T/F): “Many of the deductions are now proven facts because of thousands of clinical findings supporting them; and thousands of observations of the Laws of this Intelligence.”
True
What are the three strengths of deductive reasoning?
- ) Can allow us to reason beyond our experience
- ) 100% certainty of conclusions
- ) Gives a strong basis for actions
What are the limitations of deductive reasoning?
- ) Quality of the assumptions - are they true?
- ) Quality of the logic - is it valid?
- ) Deduction is not self-testing.
What are the 33 principles?
The original 33 priciples are a study in deductive logic, proceeding from a major premise to specific applications in biology and the human body.
(T/F) The 33 principles represent an extended deductive syllogism (if A is true, then B follows)
True
In 2003, who published a review of the 33 principles, without changing the overall concepts or their intent?
Dr. David Koch
What numbers are the universal principles?
1-14
What numbers are the biological principles?
15-30
What numbers are the Chiropractic principles?
31-33
(T/F): Only the last three principles are specifically chiropractic in nature.
True
Which principles outline the concept of an intelligent universe?
The first 14 (UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES)
The metaphysical paradigm evidenced in the first 14 principles is most closely related to _________.
Dualism or dualistic interactionism
The _______ ________ explains that there is a universal intelligence in all matter, continously giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence, and giving this intelligence its expression.
The Major Premise
What are BJ’s 3 Intelligences?
Universal Intelligence
Innate Intelligence
Educated Intelligence
What is the principle of self-organization inherent in all matter?
Universal Intelligence
(T/F): Examples of universal intelligence exist at every level of inorganic and organic activity.
True
Dr. Koch refers to the Triune of Life as the Triune of __________, as it pertains to all matter, both inanimate and animate.
Organization
Principles #____ through #____ explore the topic of “life” identifying the self-organizing potential of a living thing as its innate intelligence and describing the unique, constructive forces created within living things to maintain their organization. These are the ___________ Principles.
15-30
Biological Principles
The Biological principles reveal that chiropractic is based on the paradigm of _______, more accurately ______ _______.
Vitalism; Critical Vitalism
(T/F): the biological principles state that living things are “life in matter inseparably”.
True
(T/F): the biological principles state that living things are organized and maintained by their innate intelligence.
True
How would you define a living thing that has intelligence of the universe inborn within it?
Innate Intelligence
________ ________ is the name we give to universal intelligence being expressed in living things
Innate Intelligence
(T/F): Universal intelligence gives all matter all its properties and actions, therefore UI gives a “living thing” all of its properties and actions.
True
(T/F): Universal Intelligence is Innate Intelligence but UI is individualized by the attention it pays to the unit
False; Innate Intelligence is individualized by the attention it pays to the unit, not Universal Intelligence
What biological Principle states: The signs of life (assimilation, elimination, growth, reproduction, adaptability) are evidence of the innate intelligence of life?
19: Evidence of Life
What biological Principle states: The mission of the body’s innate intelligence is to maintain the material of the body of a living thing in active organization?
20: The Mission of Innate Intelligence
What biological Principle states: Interference with the transmission of innate forces causes incoordination, or “dis-ease.”?
30: The Cause of Dis-ease
The last 3 principles are specific to living organisms with nerve systems and spinal columns, characterizing the role of the forces traveling over these structures and identifying the problem of interference and dis-ease (incoordination). They are termed the __________ principles
Chiropractic
These 3 principles establish the importance of the nervous systemas the ultimate integrator of body functions, and cite subluxationsas disruptive of the reciprocal communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body (i.e., “safety pin cycle”).
Chiropractic Principles
What Chiropractic Principle states that interference with transmission in the body is often directly or indirectly due to subluxations in the spinal column?
33: Subluxations
“_________ is a philosophy, science, and art of things natural; a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column by hand only, for the correction of the cause of dis-ease.”
