Health, Wellness, and Longevity. Adding Life to Your Years and Years to Your Life!

Hello everyone, I started this blog in effort to extend my reach beyond those that I can help in my clinic alone. As a chiropractic physician I have a deep love for health and people. I am excited everyday to go to my office and help people. I have literally seen thousands of patients have their lives changed as a result of chiropractic care and lifestyle changes.

Each day I strive to bring the latest and greatest information on health to my patients. I have even started a radio show to help with this effort as well. You can listen in on Southern Oregon's talk radio 880AM Tuesdays @11:00AM. Or watch for post on my youtube channel that I am just starting (http://www.youtube.com/user/MarkHMcFarlandDC?feature=mhsn)

My goal for this blog is to educate you on how to live a better quality of life, whether that be through awareness, tips and advice, or even support. As I have said, I have a deep love for helping people. Please follow my blog and start making changes in your life and health today.

Are Your Nerves Killing You?

Dr. Henry Winsor, a medical doctor in Haverford, PA began to wonder: "Chiropractors claim that by 'adjusting' one vertebra, they can relieve stomach troubles and ulcers; by 'adjusting' another, menstrual cramps, and another thyroid conditions kidney disease, constipation, heart disease, lung disease - but how? He decided to investigate this new science and art of healing - CHIROPRACTIC.

DISSECTIONS
After graduating from medical school, Dr. Winsor was inspired by chiropractic and osteopathic literature to experiment. He planned to dissect human and animal cadavers to see if there was a relationship between any diseased internal organs discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae associated with the nerves that went to the organs. As he wrote:  

"The object of these autopsies (dissections) was to determine whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine, on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other: or whether the two were entirely independent of each other."

FINDINGS:
"221 structures other than the spine were found diseased. Of these, 202 were observed to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from the vertebrae out of line.  These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide... for an organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments from the same spinal segments."

In other words, there was nearly 100% correlation between "minor curvatures" of the spine and diseases of the internal organs.

Heart Disease:  All 20 cases had the upper 5 thoracic vertebrae (T1-5) misaligned.

Lung Disease: All 26 cases had spinal misalignments in the upper Thoracic.

Stomach Disease: All 9 cases had spinal misalignment in the mid thoracic (T5-9).

LIver Disease:  All 13 cases had misalignment at T5-9

Gallstones: All 5 cases had spinal misalignments at T5-9.

Pancreas: All 3 cases had spinal misalignments in the Thoracic T5-9.

Kidney: All 17 cases had spinal misalignment in the lower thoracic T10-12.

Prostate and Bladder: All 8 cases had lumbar L1-3 vertebrae misalignments.

Uterus: The 2 cases had the 2nd lumbar misaligned.

Although many medical doctors are ignorant of the relationship of the spinal column to disease, medical literature is chock full of many experiments proving chiropractics theory and effectiveness. An unhealthy spine can cause dis-ease in many parts of the body and a chiropractic spinal check-up and adjustment can help in the care and prevention of sickness and disease.

Dr. Winsor's insights and research were prophetic. His results were published in The Medical Times and can be found in any medical library. 

An unhealthy spine can cause disease in many parts of the body, and a chiropractic spinal checkup and adjustment can help in the care and prevention of sickness and disease.  

What are you waiting for? Get in today to have your spine checked for misalignments which can lead to many more
