Chiropractic Connection found to immunity

A recent article in the New York Times on May 13, 1993 reported on a article in a -British Medical Journal that the first anatomical connection between the nerve system and the immune system has been discovered. The connection is between the nerve cell endings and the white blood cells, an integral part of the immune system. The study from the University of Boston and the University of Philadelphia further identified the actual chemical which excerpts an influence from the nerve cell to the white blood cell. This is the evidence that researchers have been looking for to explain the mind-body connection involved with obtaining and maintaining optimal health. This discovery also helps to explain the effects of stress and attitudes upon the health and healing cycle. For the Chiropractic patient this serves to further explain the effects of maintaining an optinlally functioning nerve system, free from any interference that could result in a weakened immune system thus dis-ease and ill health through a lifetime. The developer of Chiropractic Dr. B.J. Palmer once said, "that is anatQmy is known, however all that is anatomy is not yet known." this statement is evidence that as we discover more about how the body'functions we will realize all the more that Chiropractic is a wonderful 'way to maintain your health. Chiropractic is the only method of health care that is a health giving method, it has as a goal to obtain then maintain your optimal health potential for a lifetime, we are now one step closer to scientifically understanding the mechanisms by which this occurs.
