acknowledge Chiropractic for Headaches...
"
We've been able to put together a scientific explanation for
how neck structure causes headaches... Chiropractors have been
saying for years."

"One
of the most thorough studies of migraine
patients... over a fifty year period found patients receiving
chiropractic care showed an improvement or cure rate
of 72% to 90%"

"I
was astonished by the results I got for my own headaches as a
result of chiropractic care. As a neurologist I am aware of the
many causes of headaches requiring medical or neurological care
but was not aware that chiropractic could provide results of such
magnitude..."

Research
Shows Improved Immunity Through Chiropractic
In
1986, Ronald Pero, Ph D., collaborated with Joseph Flesia, D.C.,
chairman of the board of directors for the Chiropractic Basic
Science Research Foundation, Inc. With a hefty grant from CBSRF,
they began a research project at the University of Lund in Lund,
Sweden. Using Pero’s tests to gauge resistance to hazardous
environmental chemicals, they hypothesized that people with cancer
would have a suppressed immune response to such a toxic burden.
While healthy people and people receiving chiropractic care should
have a relatively enhanced response.
Measuring
107 individuals who had received long-term chiropractic care Pero’s
team turned up some surprising findings. All chiropractic patients
were “genetically normal” – that is, they had
no obvious genetic reasons for increased resistance or susceptibility
to disease. Any difference, therefore, had to be accounted for
by environmental or therapeutic factors. The chiropractic patients
also had 200% greater immune-competence that people who had not
received chiropractic, and 400% greater immune-competence than
people with cancer or other serious diseases. Surprisingly, despite
a wide range of ages in this study, the
immune-competence did not show any decline with age – it
was uniform for the
entire group.
Pero concluded
that “chiropractic may optimize whatever genetic abilities
you have” so
that you can fully resist serious disease. “I’m very
excited to see that without chemical
intervention… this particular group of patients under chiropractic
care did show a very
improved response.” he told CBSRF. “These changes
occur from chiropractic treatment.”
