Six Essentials for Health
The Principles of Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique
By Dr. W.B. Bean
Were you created to be healthy or sick?
Neither. You were designed to survive. How well you survive is proportional
to quantity and/or quality of choices in doing just six things. M. T. Morter
Jr., D.C., developer of Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.),
dubbed them “the six essentials for life.”
Considering them, your conscious thinking controls what you drink and eat, the
air you breathe and rest and exercise. Once these things are done, you can’t
change your body’s response to your choices—good or bad.
Chiropractic has generally looked for the cause of disease and worked with the
effects. Every human state is the effect of something. Good health is the effect
of making right choices with these six essentials. Poor health is the effect
of not making right choices enough of the time. Chronic poor health is not doing
them right for a long time.
Good and bad habits are learned. We don’t habitually do what we don’t
like to do. So, when sick, it’s generally because of doing things we like
to do. Some do them until they die. Nobody dies too late, but anyone can check
out early. God gave you choices, so your health is your choice. If we pursue
these six essentials within the design parameters God intended, the side effect
is health. If not, other side effects occur—trauma, systemic stress/exhaustion,
symptoms, disease and even death. So, let’s take a simplified look at
the design parameters within which we should stay.
The Six Essentials
First, what we don’t drink is as negative as what we do. Few people drink
as much pure water as they should (8-10 glasses per day). Just about anything
other than pure water or fresh juices is probably negative.
Next is what we eat. Most of us eat too much animal protein—flesh and
dairy products—and refined grains. Too much protein is just plain bad.
Studies show that even body builders can do well on as little as 20-30 grams
protein per day (this amount includes both animal and vegetable proteins). Generally,
75-80 percent fresh fruits and vegetables, and 20-25 percent flesh, whole grains
and dairy products will do well if you’re doing the other five essentials
right. It has been said that if you want to be as strong as a bull, don’t
eat the bull. Eat what the bull eats. Also, proper food combining should be
observed at all times (An Apple a Day, Morter).
Next, the air you usually breathe is polluted enough without sitting in the
smoking section anywhere. Particularly if you’re making the smoke. Move
to a better place and don’t smoke.
Rest and sleep are matters that always beg questions about worry, pain, anger,
gas, weak bladder or environmental problems. All of these involve the other
five essentials and whether or not you’re in adjustment, i.e., clear of
interference. Remember, rest is as important as sleep. Many people don’t
consider daily rest periods important to preclude systemic exhaustion/trauma.
Insomnia is sleep interruption from physical or emotional intrusion. You won’t
see many patients that are clear of interference and who are making the right
choices in the six essentials with lengthy rest or sleeplessness problems.
Exercise is now big business and as such, is as misrepresented as eating or
drinking. Most people exercise to get healthy. That’s really backwards.
We need to be healthy to exercise. We need to be sure that we aren’t too
toxic and start exercises slowly with a contralateral exercise like walking.
Nearly every one can walk 30 minutes per day. Anyone that walks 30 minutes a
day, four or five times per week should do well. Walking should be relaxed but
done as briskly as is comfortable to continue a conversation simultaneously.
Here’s an important point of order: Don’t start any strenuous program
of walking, exercise or big change in diet overnight, particularly if your system
is toxic. Undertake these changes gradually, after interference is removed and
when you are in a proper state of alkalosis.
Obviously, the most important of the six essentials is what you think. No positive
thought or emotion ever causes negative effects. Every negative threat, thought
or feeling, along with body physiology of that moment, is cemented into non-conscious
memory as an engram (Textbook of Physiology, Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., seventh
edition) and can cause systemic stress and distraction to Innate function. Negative
physioemotional stressor engrams can be cumulative subconsciously. Innate cannot
tell the difference between a real threat event and one that comes from memory.
Innate always responds perfectly for our survival for the next nanosecond—even
if it would eventually kill you.
When external or internal stimuli excites a big enough “negative memory
engram storm,” Innate attention is distracted from the present-time need
to the survival physiology of that engram.
Normal, natural and necessary organic and/or muscular response is ordered, which
may be absolutely perfect physiology, but may not be appropriate for present
time (The Book of B.E.S.T., Morter). If this occurs frequently enough or long
enough without intervention, then systems exhaust and symptoms, dis-ease, disease,
and then death ensues.
Types of Interference
For over a 100 years, chiropractors have enjoyed success working for the most
part with trauma-caused subluxation—a.k.a., quantity interference—but
that fails to approach two other types of interference that D. D. Palmer defined.
In his 1910 book The Chiropractor’s Adjustor, Palmer makes the following
statement: “[T]he determining cause of disease is traumatism, poison,
and autosuggestion. . . . impingements, poisons, and intense thinking, autosuggestion,
unrelieved change of thoughts, insufficient rest and sleep—all—increase
or decrease the momentum of impulses.” In other words, trauma is only
one of three causes of disease which, 60 years later, Morter rediscovered, researched
and published, even before he read Palmer’s works. Morter found that there
are three causes of interference: trauma, toxicity and thoughts (emotions),
and he developed a pure science-based, hands-on approach to deal with all three.
He explains that interference is the cause of disease and that there are three
types of interference.
There’s quantity interference at the IVF level and outward—the “pinched
hose theory.”
Then, there’s quality interference—interference in the cord and
up into the brain. Morter categorized this interference as Sensory Dominant
Subluxation (SDS) because it involves the sensory system and is stress induced,
memory retained and motor expressed. If a vertebra resubluxates after correction,
it’s because of quality interference and SDS.
Last, there’s the quantum interference. Quantum interference comes from
thoughts and non-conscious memory (The Soul Purpose, Morter).
The real question is this: Is it a subluxation, or is it interference? What
we have learned from Morter HealthSystem research is that it’s interference
on the sensory side of B.J. Palmer’s “safety pin cycle.” What’s
key to this entire question is this answer: If any physiology was ever normal,
natural and necessary once, then it’s always so—it just may not
be appropriate for present-time physiological necessity.
If you’ve ever wondered why an adjustment didn’t hold or why Innate
Intelligence didn’t resolve a subluxation before it caused a problem,
here’s your long-sought answer: The problem was caused by SDS and/or quantum
interference and could be associated with any or all of the basic “six
essentials for life” that we discussed earlier.
Perfect survival, with no interference, following the six essentials and executing
those essentials optimally within the parameters that God designed us to do
is wellness, and it’s what Morter HealthSystem and Bio Energetic Synchronization
Technique are about. It’s a pure, chiropractic, hands-on approach to the
emotional component of interference as well as the formulae to teach both the
doctor and the patient how to live in wellness longer, more productively and
happier lives. This is a holistic system of correction for the Sensory Dominant
Subluxation due to innate distraction. It compliments every truthful technique
and joins our philosophy, science and art as they truly should be. It’s
a system that finally ties together the physical being, the energy being and
the mind. Finally we have a philosophy, science and art that agree all the time.
