Chiropractic May Be the Best Thing Against the Flu

During 1918, America suffered from the rapture of something called, "The Spanish Flu."  This flu strain was so virulent that it ended up killing 20-40 million people.  The chances of you not contracting this virus was like rolling dice.  Many people fell beckon to this disease.  In the medical model, people who ended up dying from the Spanish Flu was 1 out of every 15 people.  In New York, out of every 10,000 cases of pneumonia, 6,4000 people died going to the medical doctor.  This is a 64% chance of dying from pneumonia.  Out of 10,000 cases of the flu in New York, 950 people died by going to the medical doctor.  This is a 9.5% chance of dying from the Spanish Flu.

As people during that time were looking for answers, whatever they ended up being, there were people who received Chiropractic care from Chiropractors and students.  The results were something of the total opposite compared to the medical model.  In Iowa, 1 out of every 789 case of the Spanish Flu ended up dead by going to a Chiropractor.  In the nation, the ratio was 1 out of 889 cases that ended up in a death from the Spanish Flu.  In Oklahoma, there were 233 cases that the medical establishment deemed to have no hope and just going to be a loss.  These 233 cases ended up going to a Chiropractor and only 23 of these individuals died from the Spanish Flu after the medical establishment declared all 233 were lost and no hope of survival.  Lastly, in New York, individuals who came down with pneumonia, only 100 people ended up dead.  Individuals who had the Spanish flu, out of 10,000 cases, only 25 individuals died from the Spanish Flu.

The numbers tell the story.  It has been shown time and time again that Chiropractic care tremendously improves an individual's immune system.  Even basic neurology shows there is a direct neurological connection of the nervous system with the immune system.  The nervous system control all functions of the body, including the immune system.  The nervous system is the communication system of the body and of the immune system.  If there was no communication in a war, how well would things go?  Communication is key and that is all based upon how well your nervous system is functioning.  Get adjusted and enjoy the many different positive side effects that happen from getting adjusted, just like a healthy, vibrant and responsive immune system!
