We all know and understand that the nervous system controls every part of our body from the top of our head to our big toe. That means the nerve system controls our immune system including all the lymphoid organs like the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes. When we have an area that needs to be adjusted it leads to dys-autonomia which lowers the function of the autonomic nerve system thus decreasing the immune system’s ability to work at 100%. Chiropractic adjustments will relieve the stress on the nerve system and allow the immune system to work in balance the way it is supposed to.
The Influenza epidemic of 1918 killed 20 million people. In Davenport IA there were 93,590 patients treated by medicine and 6,116 deaths-that is about 1 death out of every 15 patients. The first school of Chiropractic was in Davenport IA and they adjusted 1,635 cases of flu-stricken patients and there was only one death! Chiropractors in Iowa cared for 4,735 cases with only 6 deaths-that is one out of 866. In 233 cases that were labeled as lost by the medical community chiropractic saved all but 25. This illustrates that an adjustment can boost and support your immune system. Our bodies are meant to heal they just need to not have any interference in the process.
There was also a study done that illustrated chiropractic patients had a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care. Also those that had chiropractic care had a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or serious diseases. This illustrates that those who receive chiropractic adjustments bodies have a quicker and better immune response than those who do not receive care. This alone would have me running to the chiropractor.
Overall chiropractic care has been shown to keep people well and help them when they are sick. It is beneficial to each person to get yourself checked and adjusted.
