BJ Palmer’s Revolutionary Tool in Chiropractic
BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic and son of DD Palmer (inventor of chiropractic) ran the Palmer Chiropractic School and the world class BJ Palmer Clinic. The Faraday Cage at the BJ Palmer Clinic was one a revolutionary scientific advancement, designed to block electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to maintain the accuracy of diagnostic procedures, ensuring the most precise results.
What is a Faraday Cage?
A Faraday Cage is an enclosure made of conductive material that shields its contents from external electric fields and electromagnetic radiation. Named after the scientist Michael Faraday, who invented it in 1836, the cage works by redistributing electric charges around its exterior, thereby neutralizing the effects of external electromagnetic forces inside the enclosure. This makes it an ideal environment for conducting sensitive experiments or procedures that could be affected by these external forces.
The Role of the Faraday Cage in the BJ Palmer Clinic
Palmer recognized that these unseen EMF forces could potentially interfere with the accuracy of clinical findings and the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. The Faraday Cage was implemented in his clinic, placing diagnostic equipment within it to ensure EMFs would not distort the readings or outcomes of his procedures.
The Importance of Blocking EMFs
Today, we live in an era saturated with electromagnetic fields. From cell phones and Wi-Fi to power lines and household appliances, we are constantly surrounded by EMFs. While these technologies have undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways, there is growing concern about their potential impact on human health. Research has suggested that prolonged exposure to EMFs could lead to various health issues, ranging from sleep disturbances to more serious conditions like cancer.
In the context of chiropractic care, EMFs are particularly concerning because they can interfere with the body’s natural energy flow—what we refer to as Life Force in chiropractic philosophy. The human body is an intricate, interconnected system designed to be healthy and self-healing. However, when external forces like EMFs disrupt this system, they can interfere with the flow of Life Force, leading to dis-ease and potentially more severe health problems.
By using a Faraday Cage, Palmer was ahead of his time in recognizing the importance of creating a controlled environment, free from these disruptive forces. This not only ensured the accuracy of his clinical results but also protected his patients from potential harm caused by EMFs.
The Legacy of the Faraday Cage in Chiropractic
The use of the Faraday Cage in the BJ Palmer Clinic is a testament to the forward-thinking nature of chiropractic care. It highlights the importance of precision in diagnostics and treatment, as well as the need to protect the body’s natural healing processes from external interference. As we continue to explore the impact of EMFs on health, Palmer’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding our bodies from these invisible forces.
As chiropractors, we recognize the body’s innate intelligence and Life Force are essential to healing. Adjustments remove interference from subluxations enhancing our body’s Life Force connection. By honoring BJ Palmer’s legacy and utilizing tools like the Faraday Cage, we can continue to protect and nurture the body’s innate healing abilities, ensuring the most precise and effective chiropractic care possible.
