     5     WHEREAS, Optimum performance and health of the human body
     6  depends on the unfettered, free transmission of mental impulses,

     8  organs; and
     9     WHEREAS, The flow of mental impulses between the brain and
    10  the body passes through the vertebrae of the spinal column; and
    11     WHEREAS, Blockages of mental impulses, called vertebral
    12  subluxations, occur when a vertebra misaligns, occludes an
    13  opening, impinges on a nerve or otherwise interferes with
    14  neurotransmission; and

     1     WHEREAS, A vertebral subluxation can occur regardless of the
     2  presence or absence of symptoms; and
     3     WHEREAS, Doctors of chiropractic are the licensed
     4  professionals uniquely trained to locate, analyze and correct
     5  vertebral subluxations that compromise a person's health and
     6  well-being; therefore be it
     7     RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives commend the
     8  Chiropractic Fellowship of Pennsylvania for its efforts in
     9  educating the public about the importance of having spinal
    10  checks for vertebral subluxations; and be it further

    12  week of September 14 through 20, 2008, as "Vertebral Subluxation
    13  Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania.
