What causes interference with the transmission of innate forces, leading to dis-ease, according to Stephenson?

In the context of chiropractic philosophy, particularly as articulated by B.J. Palmer and later by other theorists like Stephenson, the concept of innate intelligence refers to the body's natural ability to heal and maintain itself. Interference with the transmission of innate forces can hinder this natural process, potentially leading to what is described as dis-ease.

Incoordination is particularly relevant because it implies a disruption in the body's ability to communicate and coordinate its functions effectively. This disruption can stem from subluxations in the spine, which impair the nervous system's ability to transmit signals and innate forces necessary for optimal health. When the nervous system is not functioning properly due to these interferences, the body cannot express its inherent healing capacities, leading to symptoms and illnesses.

While poor nutrition, emotional distress, and inadequate sleep are undeniably important factors in overall health, they do not directly address the specific mechanism of interference with innate forces as described in chiropractic philosophy. Incoordination specifically highlights the relationship between the nervous system and innate intelligence, making it the most appropriate answer in this context.
