HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH

 Our body has the ability to heal itself- the army of the white blood cells, antibodies, leukocytes, mast cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils are internal antibiotic soldiers which patrol and protect every inch of the body from injury and infection.

Even when the body organism is hosting a serious condition, we still have the capacity to heal a cut or overcome an infection. Medical journals print stories of patients who have recovered spontaneously from incurable illness. Patients who have been given six months to live , are still telling the story thirty years later. There's no definite answer to why this happens. No one understands spontaneous remission but all health care professionals acknowledge that we carry within us a miraculous ability to heal ourselves.

Given our body's ability to heal itself , why do we get sick? Why don't we heal ourselves everytime? There are genetic factors we don't understand that strongly affect how our Innate Wisdom works to heal us. It's the mission of every chiropractor to help patients raise their natural healing ability to its highest potential.

Chiropractic's main comcern is not with the trauma that follows accidents , most of which is emergency first aid-- setting bones , stitching wounds closed and removing foreign objects. That is medical doctor's job. This is an example of how two divergent health care philosophies can compliment each other and forge a cooperative effort .

Unfortunately, other problems are often handled with drugs. These dangerous drugs, artificial chemicals are dispensed to control the symptoms--lower the fever , kill germs and deaden pain. Instead of correcting the underlying cause , these warning signals are ignored, healing is actually delayed. Our society is full of people who are a little more than walking medicine cabinets. They take handful of pills throughout the day. Instead of finding out what's causing the high blood pressure , they take medicine to lower it. Instead of determining the underlying metabolic reason for their condition , they rely on artificial chemicals to cover up . If they stop taking the medicine, the condition returns. This isn't health and healing. As a chiropractor , I believe that the root cause of many of these conditons is nerve interference. This isn't to say that your spine is healthy, you'll never have a sick day and you'll live forever. No one can promise you that. We come into the world marked " terminal" because as human beings we all die. However, without nerve interference , you can be confident you have a better chance for a longer healthier existence.
