The Four Survival Mechanisms
At the time of conception, the body inherently has four innate basic survival "computer-like" programs. They are:
1. Feeding
The mechanism by which we are made aware of when to eat and provide nourishment to the body (this also includes all phases of digestion).
2. Fight / Flight
The mechanism which makes us aware of dangers around us, so that we protect ourselves by either running away or standing and fighting.
3. Reproduction
The mechanism by which we
procreate for the continuation of our species.
4. Immune System
Our first line of defense against all things that may invade our body systems.
Factors that contribute to communication (neurological reflexes) breakdowns of the Four Survival Mechanisms are as follows:
- Abuse
- Accidents
- Bumps to the head
- Birth process
- Chemical Trauma
- Death
- Divorce
- Drug interactions
- Emotional Trauma
- Environmental Trauma
- Exhaust fumes
- Food allergies
- Fragile X
- Heredity
- Mold, mildew
- Parasites
- Physical Trauma
- Pollen
- Pollutants
- Sports injuries
- Stress
- Trisomy 21 (Downs Syndrome)
- Vaccines
The effects these factors can have on communications (neurological reflexes), when manifested, can create neurological dis-organization patterns between the brain (the central computer), and its signals to the rest of the body and their functions. Such dis-organization is expressed in the form of neurological dysfunction, dis-ease, and/or pain. Nothing happens to or within the body without total body awareness of the incident. Hence, a communication breakdown in one area will sometimes manifest in other areas of the body. For example, by incorporation of Applied Kinesiology in N.O.T. you may find that a patient with persistent low back pain will usually have a related problem with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), even though there may not be any pain in the TMJ.
