WAGE WAR AGAINST COLDS AND FLU THIS WINTER
WHAT CAUSES A COLD?
Breathing in a cold virus does not itself cause a cold. If you try to give someone a cold for example, it takes more than
a virus.
Scientists have incubated cold viruses, placed them directly on the mucous lining of the nose, and found that their subjects
came down with colds only 12 percent of the time. FOR GERMS TO GROW IN YOU, YOU MUST BE FERTILE SOIL.
THE MEDICAL APPROACH
Orthodox medicine offers no cure for the common cold. Taking antibiotics for a cold is completely worthless because colds
are associated with viruses (antibiotics work only on bacteria). Giving antibiotics "just in case" has been criticized in
the medical literature as unnecessary and dangerous.
THE CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH
Chiropractic does not treat the common cold. However, chiropractic care can help raise your natural resistance to disease
by removing a serious interference to your proper body function; Vertebral misalignments. Remember an elevated temperature
is one of your body's defense mechanisms, helping you destroy infection. Lowering a fever reduces this defense against disease.
Keeping your body free from vertebral misalignments keeps your natural immunity high and could make the difference between
a quick recovery and lingering illness.
-Improve your diet by increasing fresh fruits and vegetables and eating less meat and dairy.
-Regular exercise which should be 30 minutes five days a week.
-Reduce stress. Mental and emotional pressure may decrease the health of your immune system. I have material available to
help,and many wonderful programs and literature exist.
-Regular rest. Try to go to bed and wake up the same time each day.
-Ongoing chiropractic care. Many patients have reported that they get sick less frequently and their sickness is less intense
with chiropractic care
Flu shots seem to be more a product of cultural superstition than science. Think twice before rolling up your sleeve.
