I hope you have a lot of really natural A’s.
Vitamin A is sooo good for your immune system. The natural stuff not the artificial junk in most supplements. The Atlas, or the first cervical bone is critical, and the Adrenal glands are also important to the immune system.
This is shaping up to be a nasty year for colds and flus. It has already started. Vitamin A can be a secret weapon.
Normally this time of year I’m thinking about how to promote football and chiropractic. The closest I’ve come, is the fact that all the NFL teams have a team chiropractor.
The best athletic teams use chiropractic for 2 key reasons. Chiropractic decreases injuries and enhances performance. Great joints just work better.
But this year, I can hear the coughing from anywhere in the office. The sneezing has already blown a disc for a patient. We have run out of kleenex’s wiping little kids’ noses. It’s not a pretty picture.
If you need any furniture sanded, my hands
can help from all the washing.
Kids in school, people in church, husbands, wives, dogs, cats, and random deer are coughing in the woods. Everybody seems to be sick. People I haven’t seen in 3 months are coming in sick, and they know they can get better by getting adjusted.
One of our tricks in school was to get adjusted 3-4 times a day. I was always better the next day. The upper part of the neck, primarily the Atlas bone, controls all the parts of the immune system. High stress in your body increases dysfunction quickly. That’s why 3-4 visits/ day works.
You need good nutrition to heal and be healthy, along with some good sleep. Your adrenal glands need those things too. If you are constantly tired and can’t get out of bed in the morning, Cha-Ching…you are whipping your adrenal glands like a race horse and they are giving up before the finish line.
Guess what else? Your adrenal glands also control your immune system in your nose, your mouth and your lungs. This is why lots of stress and the go…go…go… attitude can drive you to being sick often.
I first started thinking about long term patient health 9 years ago when I started reading Bruce West’s newsletter. He made a profound statement.
He said it is much harder to help people get well today than it was 20 +years ago when he started in chiropractic. After 13 years, I would have to agree. What used to take 6 visits now takes 16 for people to get better. People have fewer resources to heal.
While you’re At It,
Help Someone Along The Way.
Our acceptance and tolerance of bad, cheap, non-nutritious food won’t change unless we educate ourselves and our loved ones.
Back to being sick. I know where it comes from and I know I need your help to educate others.
Ramp up your immune system everyday.
A summary of 2004 research on Vitamin A
Vitamin A benefits:
1. Improved hormone patterns in girls
2. Enhance immune function
3. Protect against cancer
4. Modulates inflammation
5. Vit. A&D decreased cell number of pancreatic cancer cell lines.
6. Protects against chemicals and pesticides (this is one of my favorites, everyone needs this)
7. Lack of Vit. A screws up the lining of the small intestine.
8. Improves iodine efficacy in kids. A healthy thyroid is critical for healthy nerve functions.
This is also another reason to eat butter instead of margarine. Butter is a natural source of vitamin A. Margarine is made from laboratory chemicals. No matter what your doctor says or what the label says
