Your Immune System 
Your Immune System Works Around The Clock To Keep You 100%,
Unadulterated You! It patrols your every nook and
cranny—attacking and destroying useless and dangerous
things inside you: bacteria, viruses, splinters, dirt, dead
cells, even cancer cells.It seems reasonable to suppose that the body is fighting cancer all the time and winning.., early cancers are probably being detected and combatted in the body on a regular basis. If you take this process and step it up in intensity, you have the miracle of spontaneous remission. You have many weapons to protect you: your skin and mucous membranes create a physical barrier to invasion; your digestive juices dissolve germs; urine cleans your urinary tract; and skin secretions kill many germs when you’re alive—that’s why cadavers turn ugly colors. Fevers burn off microorganisms; swelling helps wash the system; special cells attack and devour intruders: macrophages, T-cells, killer cells, lymphocytes, antibodies and others, each with its own specialized manner of taking care of bad guys. You also have an internal defense industry that produces your armaments: your bone marrow, spleen, thymus, tonsils, adenoids, appendix and lymph nodes give you lots of high quality weapon systems. But what’s powerful for good can be potent for bad. An unhealthy immune system can over react as in allergic or hypersensitivity reactions; can under react as in immune deficiency disorders; or can attack the very body it was meant to serve as in autoimmune disorders. Chiropractic Helps Your Immune System Doctors of chiropractic analyze your spine to locate vertebral subluxations, a serious condition that causes spinal distortions and interferes with your nervous system function. Over a hundred years of chiropractic and osteopathic observations have demonstrated to many patients that spinal care improves immune function. The exact mechanism of how the spine and the nervous system affect the immune system is one of the hottest areas of scientific inquiry. This new field is called psychoneuroimmunology(PNI). Keeping your spine healthy under chiropractic care is one of the best ways of keeping your immune system functioning at its optimum level so you may remain healthy and whole. |
