Ear Infections Part II

Doctors of Chiropractic do not treat ear infections. But when a patient with an ear infection is adjusted by a chiropractor, it helps improve chemical imbalances and increases the body’s immune response.

An eighteen year case study of 4,600 patients with restricted upper neck bones concluded: ear infections were very prominent. When the spine was in proper alignment, ear infections usually didn’t occur.

Case studies tend to prove that many children with chronic ear infections, have nerve interference in their upper neck region. Have your child checked by a chiropractic physician on a regular basis.

YOUR BRAIN – A Human Computer

The human brain has the potential to be faster and store more information than any computer ever developed. Unfortunately, we have only learned to use a tiny percentage of our brain’s capacity. Even so, your brain receives and interprets thousands of signals from every nerve in your body during every second of the day. The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum, relays messages from the sensory organs, such as the nose, eyes, ears, tongue and skin, to the various parts of your body. Certain areas of the cerebrum are responsible for specific functions, such as memory, reading comprehension, physical movement and so on. Another part of the brain, the medulla oblongata, controls automatic processes like breathing and keeping your heart beating. The cerebellum, is responsible for balance and motor coordination.

Your brain is connected to all parts of the body. The tail of the brain – the spinal cord emerges through an opening in the skull called the Foramen Magnum (a large hole). The spinal cord goes through the twenty-four bony rings or vertebrae and the spinal nerves branch out from the various vertebrae to carry information to and from every part of the body. As stated before, when the nerves are impeded because the vertebrae are out of alignment, the result is a lack of normal function.

How Does Homeopathy Work?

Homeopathy is a system of therapeutics that stimulates the body’s vital forces to help eliminate disease. In this way it is much like the theory of chiropractic therapeutics. The body will manifest symptoms of a disorder as a mechanism to express disease. Many times the symptoms will help mobilize the body’s defense mechanisms as in the example of fever increasing the efficiency of immunocompetant white blood cells. Chiropractic, homeopathy, and Chinese medicine share a holistic view and definition of disease. When the body cannot reorganize and right itself (maintain homeostasis, negative feedback mechanisms, etc,) because there is a block in the vital forces (nerve interference, subluxation, lack of qi, block in a meridian), disease will persist. In homeopathy, the symptoms of the illness are matched to those known to be associated with a specific remedy; that is, symptoms the remedy would cause in higher or toxic doses. The remedy provides a signal to the body to stimulate and reorganize the vital forces toward the symptoms that need to be neutralized. The remedy used matches the symptom picture including the physical, mental, and emotional qualities of the illness, thus like cures like. This is called the Law of Similars. According to the principles of homeopathy, a single remedy in the smallest possible dose is used. The list of remedies can be of vegetable, animal, or mineral origin, and each is specially prepared or diluted by a process that amplifies or “potentizes” the therapeutic effect on the body. Micro doses usually significantly below one part per million are used and thus homeopathic remedies are totally non-toxic.

Scoliosis Part II

Scoliosis treatment has changed through out the years. Full body casts with steel rods were inserted into the spine. Electric muscle stimulation was also used. The latest research shows that the problems from scoliosis are related to nerve interference.

Chiropractic adjustments help realign the vertebrae, and this has a positive effect on the nerve flow to various parts of the body.
