That
there
may
be
no
mistake,
let
me
reiterate:
That
the
spine
must
be
held
erect
at
all
times
when
sitting
or
standing.
That
frequently
during
the
day
when
sitting
or
standing
the
chin
should
be
brought
down
and
in
with
a
backward
movement,
the
head
being
turned
at
times
far
either
to
the
right
or
left
side,
with
a
vigorous
twist
of
the
strongly
tensed
muscles.
That
on
every
occasion
when
this
movement
is
made,
the
abdomen
must
be
fully
expanded-not
held
in
or
drawn
upward.
That
great
emphasis
must
be
given
to
the
importance
of
bringing
the
chin
slowly
but
vigorously
downward
against
the
chest
before
the
inward
and
backward
movement
is
begun.
This
insures
a
proper
stimulation
of
the
thyroid
gland.
CHAPTER
V:
Stimulating,
Straightening
and
Strengthening
the
Spine
The
human
spine
bears
the
same
relation
to
the
body
as
a
whole
as
the
trunk
of
a
tree
does
to
the
rest
of
the
tree.
If
the
trunk
is
strong
the
entire
tree
is
sturdy
and
vigorous.
If
the
spine
is
strong
the
body
as
a
whole
possesses
a
similar
degree
of
strength.
Therefore,
the
necessity
for
a
strong
spine
is
readily
apparent.
This
strength
is
necessary
not
only
because
the
spine
is
what
may
be
termed
the
foundation
for
our
entire
physical
structure
but
also
because
therein
are
located
the
nerves
that
radiate
to
each
organ
and
every
minute
part
of
the
body.
These
spinal
nerves
control
the
functional
processes
of
all
our
bodily
tissues
and
structures.
If
the
spine
possesses
a
proper
degree
of
strength,
if
the
bony
structure
is
properly
proportioned,
and
if
the
alignment
of
all
the
vertebrae
is
everything
that
can
be
desired,
you
are
then
practically
assured
of
the
pulsating
vitality
which
is
a
part
of
superb
health.
