Chiropractic and the Flu in Crystal Lake
Chiropractic and the Flu in Crystal Lake
Most people are surprised to hear that an adjustment can boost your immune function... and as would be expected most are even skeptical once they do hear this. The roots of chiropractic run deep and this was first seen on a large scale during the flu epidemic of 1917-1918 where an estimated 20 million -100 million worldwide were victims.
For example, records show that in New York City, for every 10,000 cases of influenza treated medically, 950 died. For every 10,000 cases treated without drugs, 25 died. To further illustrate this point, National figures showed that 1,142 chiropractors treated 46.394 patients for influenza during 1918, with a loss of 54 patients. It should be noted that these numbers are exact as influenza was considered a reportable disease.
In fact, some would argue if not for this influenza outbreak and the success chiropractic had in stopping it and even saving miracle cases that were otherwise considered too far gone, chiropractic would not be around 100 years later today.
So here's the thing: it's not that the flu is particularly vulnerable to an adjustment... that sounds ridiculous and if someone was understanding it that way, I could understand how chiropractic could come across as ridiculous. The reason chiropractic had such success when all other methods did not was because it simply allows the body to work better. It works by removing interference on the master system of our entire body, our nervous system. When our nervous system is working better, our body is more efficient, including our immune system.
