| Why, you might ask, does chiropractic have anything to do with the flu? |
| The Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 was the greatest plague of modern times. It is estimated to have killed between 25 million and 40 million people worldwide. |
History shows us that those under chiropractic care during the 1918 flu pandemic had a far better chance of survival. If you are worried about the newest virus, consider the benefits of chiropractic care. |

care was most effective in saving lives! In 1919, Palmer published "The Flu and You." In this article he reported death statistics from the 1918 Flu Pandemic that showed that those people who were under chiropractic care had a far better chance of survival. Medical doctors in Davenport, Iowa, treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths ‑‑ in other words, 1 out of 15 under medical care succumbed to the flu. At the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, 1,635 people with the flu were adjusted, with only one fatality. Outside of Davenport, chiropractors adjusted another 4,735 flu cases, with only six deaths ‑‑ 1 out of 866. Medical care: 1 out of 17 died. Osteopathic care: 1 out of 36 died. Chiropractic care: 1 out of 886 Chiropractic’s health benefits are much greater than the relief of back or neck pain, it is whole-body health care. It emphasizes the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, and how that relationship affects function and health. Spinal misalignments (known as vertebral subluxations) can interfere with the transmission of information from the brain, over the spinal cord and/or nerve roots to any and all systems of the body. The resulting altered information produces altered function and lowered resistance. Call for an appointment today! 858 292 -1555 What
is the Swine Flu?
The Swine Flu is the newest form of influenza that everyone is worried about. Influenza is a viral infection that can be easily transmitted from person to person.
How would I get this flu? People usually get this flu because they were near someone who was infected that had coughed or sneezed near them or by touching a surface such as a door handle or grocery cart that is carrying the virus. Then they touch their face, eyes or mouth.
What are the symptoms? About one to four days usually elapse between the time a person is infected and the onset of symptoms. Influenza normally causes symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, headaches and body aches, fever, chills, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. Adults with severe illness may also have difficulty breathing, dizziness, confusion, or severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Here are 3 Strategies to help you and your family respond to the threat of the Swine Flu. 1. Hygiene-
maybe one of the greatest advances of the industrialized nations was
the change in the way sanitation and hygiene were practiced. Limiting
our exposure to toxins both organic and inorganic makes sense. The body
has a built in immune system, but sometimes that system can be
overwhelmed. Frequent hand washing, especially when there has been
contact with other people or with potentially contaminated surfaces can
be very helpful.
2.
Chiropractic- How
can I protect myself from swine flu? Build your
immune system! Get adjusted! Studies show that being adjusted twice a
week can increase your immune system function by up to 400%. Limit the
amount of sugar in your diet! Sugar depresses the immune system. Foods
to avoid would be the added sugar to your coffee, soda, sweetened
drinks, candy, alcohol and white flour products. Drink more water! Wash
your hands frequently.
Use natural disinfectants like essential oils that fight viruses (eucalyptus lemon, lavender, tea tree oil are the most popular). To disinfect a room from the flu virus, you should buy a new plant sprayer, use warm but not boiling water inside the bottle, add 4+ drops of a oil listed above (your choice) per one cup of water, shake before each use and spray on hard surfaces throughout your house and use a clean rag to wipe down the surface. You can also disinfectant a room by spraying the mixture into the air. 3.
Masks- no
mask can provide a perfect barrier but products that meet or exceed the
NIOSH N95 standard are thought to provide good protection. The
rationale behind masks is to limit airborne secretions to stop the
virus from spreading from person to person. The use of masks is not
uncommon in the hospitals where the potential of infection can be
greater in compromised patients. It would be unethical and potential
deadly for a surgeon to operate without first washing their hands and
using a mask.
