The Body's Power House: The Immune System


So many of us (including many health and medical professionals) underestimate the POWER of the immune system! Our body’s immune system is amazing and can defeat close to anything that faces it as long as it is looked after and nurtured.

Instead of looking at health as building up our immune system and giving it everything it needs to function at 100%, we instead try to target the symptoms and the bugs that we think cause the illness in the first place.

Look what happens when we catch a cold. We dole out medicine immediately to deal with the symptoms of congestion, fever, coughing and so on instead of recognizing that our body is actually expressing health via these symptoms - the fever is killing the germs and our cough is our body expelling the mucus that has trapped the invading bugs.

There are so many medications out there that you are being told to consume that would not be given to you if you were healthy because those drugs will make your body sick. Yet when someone who is sick with illness or cancer, and is suffering from a weakened immune system, HOW ON EARTH did it get to the point where it was logical enough to give those people a drug that would make someone with a healthy immune system sick?

Are there times you will need drugs? Of course. But even then, we would still suggest you start focusing on giving your immune system the energy it needs to fight whichever illness or disease you are facing. You will always be better off if you focus on your body’s POWER HOUSE.

Start building up the strength of your immune system today, even if you don’t currently have any symptoms - your body will thank you later!

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...

Is it safe to crack your own neck?

If you can "crack" your own neck and back, then do you need to bother seeing a Chiropractor? And, is it safe to do this to yourself? The reality is when a Chiropractor locates a part of your spine that is restricted there is a lot more specifics to it than just a "stuck" joint. The joint has lost its normal flexibility in certain directions, and there will also be a disturbance created to the nerves that pop out from the spine at that location. When a Chiropractor adjusts your spine, we are applying just the right amount of force in the specific direction necessary to get that joint mobile again. This will also essentially create a reboot of the nervous system, just like when you reboot your computer with a forced close because it keeps freezing. The reason we have to be so specific is that the joints above and below the "stuck" joint begin to move more to compensate for the lack of movement (our body is extremely clever like that), and we only wan...

Chiropractic And Risks - Can An Adjustment Actually Cause A Stroke?

There is constantly false information being spread about Chiropractic. But the reality is we have a safety record that is the envy of all other health and medical professions. Perhaps the most dangerous false myth is that Chiropractic care can, in rare circumstances cause a particular type of stroke involving the arteries in the neck. However the research completely contradicts this. We spend this short episode explaining the truth! Check out this episode!
