Promising Studies for Chiropractic Care And Your Heart…

Each year 21 million Americans die and over 1/3 of these deaths are due to just one cause- heart disease. Everyone knows that a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking and genetics are risk factors for cardiovascular problems.

A less familiar factor affecting heart function is the nerve system. Spinal misalignments, which interfere with these nerves (vertebral subluxations), can adversely affect heart function. A number of studies have shown great promise for patients with heart disease and blood pressure problems by correcting vertebral subluxations with chiropractic adjustments

Chiropractic care does not attempt to treat or cure heart disease. With chiropractic adjustments, Dr. McGraw simply corrects vertebral subluxations which interfere with normal nerve and body function. Restoring normal nerve function allows the heart and the cardiovascular system to function at their genetic potential.

“The Packers never lost a game…they just ran out of time.” - Vice Lombardi. Coach Lombardi’s quote sums up his unwavering belief in his team’s ability to win every game, if given enough time to execute their winning game plan. Chiropractors hold a similar, unwavering belief in your body’s innate ability to heal.

The sixth principal in chiropractic states “there is no process that does not require time,” including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of chiropractic) believed that given enough time and a clear nerve system the body could heal itself in just about any situation. In his mind, the innate wisdom of the body had the potential to win any healing game if just given a chance. This is the foundation of all chiropractic experiences.

If you have been under care for some time and see only minimal results, don’t give up. The power that made your body designed all the plays needed to get you healthy and whole again. It won’t lose the game if you provide enough time on the clock.

Your Choice for Pain Relief?

A few years ago, the FDA changed the requirements for the number one pain medication in the United States, acetaminophen. The new labels added a warning for patients. Unfortunately, to the general public, over the counter is interpreted as SAFE.

Acetaminophen is the number one cause of liver failure in the US and has been for some years. Even at recommended doses acetaminophen has been found to cause dangerous liver damage. Labels are only required to list the danger of gastrointestinal bleeding and liver damage in bold. They leave out the increased risks of high blood pressure and other controversial issues.

“Acetaminophen, sold under the brand name of Tylenol, is widely regarded as the safest pain reliever available, yet the drug accounts for 100,000 calls to poison control centers, 56,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths annually.”  -Healthfacts

Amazingly, according to statistics, Americans consume close to 50 billion liters of soda per year, which equates to about 216 liters, or about 57 gallons per person. That’s a staggering amount of sugar! And not just any sugar, but some of the worst we know of – fructose, in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Tragically, high fructose corn syrup, in the form of soda, has become the number one source of calories in the United States, and it is very clear that it is the primary cause of the obesity epidemic. Just one extra can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year! At that rate, it’s no wonder more than 65 percent of all American adults struggle with overweight and obesity.

And those who drink diet soda are just downing another type of poison, as diet drinks contain artificial sweeteners instead of caloric sweeteners. They don’t do anything to curb the obesity epidemic since diet soda is clearly linked to obesity as well, but through different mechanisms.

It’s hard to decide which is worse long term, fructose or artificial sweeteners, but one thing’s for sure: If you are drinking soda of any kind, you are sabotaging your health and cutting years off your lifespan.
