Chiropractic does NOT increase the immune system.. if this was true it would be a contraindication to immune diseases such as RA.

I am a DC and currently obtaining my MD PhD.... let us not mislead the public. Stick to musculoskeletal disorders... we ARE good at that!

Most folks are in neurologic imbalance, sympathetic dominance.

That's bad for the immune system and the tonal model of Chiropractic would insist that balance would help, it is a matter of balance!

Keep studying, we do know that medical treatment and drugs account for hundreds of thousands of deaths per year in the USA alone!

They don't even know what causes disease except that 70+% is preventable by lifestyle changes alone.

We should rule Musculoskeletal and be seeking to help visceral sufferers

Dr Brian, please educate the layman. What do nerves have to do with the immune system?

[drbriangarrett]

The Central Nervous syatem-CNS-(the Brain and Spinal cord, along with the peripheral nerves) controls every cell, tissue and organ in the body-Gray's Anatomy-39th edition

Stress on the nerve system decreases immune system function and integrity.

Subluxations by definition interfere with proper communication.

Hmm. Where are all the anti-chiros? They hate facts.

Good start, the research is out there that continues to show Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment with dramatically fewer side effects than other treatments. Keep up the good work!

@Drdanmitschele Awesome!

@dreviscerator Most MD's are a bunch of quacks, and you want to be one?? Stick to what you do best and keep digging post holes dude!! You are completely full of horse shit! Are you going to MD school on an island?? It has been documented in the literature that chiropractic care can boost the immune system. You are joining a bunch of legal drug pushers. I have more respect for the illegal drug pushers than tiny brain wipers of other peoples bottoms like you doc!

[LUVMETA]

We deal with the CNS as well!

I meant to say love, not cove. I love this film and this profession really is taking over health care. Every year I see more and more complex health issues with greater and greater success than my colleagues in medicine.

I cove this film. This profession is literally taking over health care.

@hiodr

The public cares. This will be a great thing for the lay public as they still hold medicine to be the ultimate in health care. We know it is bs but they dont

[hiodr]

who gives a rat's flaming ass what the dope pushing medical failure's opinion is about anything. since when have they proven to be an authority on health matters? now if they have some input on how to fail to get sick well, i would have reason to lend them some credibility, given their proven track record in this field.

[hiodr]

@dreviscerator you have no idea what you are talking about. just as well you are finally getting the appropriate degree for someone who doesn't understand what chiropractic is and therefore can do no better than to only attempt to suppress symptoms.

@dreviscerator - What does "if this was true it would be a contraindication to immune diseases such as RA" mean? However impressed I am that you are DC MD PhD, I think you should retake English 101... What does an increase of the immune system mean anyway? Inflammation... is it good or is it bad? If it's controlled, it's good; if not, as in RA, it's bad! It's about balance of function... There is a limited body of evidence, but not an absence of evidence; so please stop bragging your "science"

@dreviscerator Your a bald face traitor to yourself. Your failure in chiropractic was your own, not chiropractics. Your inability to break the heavy chains of your medical indoctrinization is your own failure. Your delving in allopathy will eventually lead you to your own spiritual demise.... G-d please don't let this medic calling himself "drevicerator" evicerate the bodies of innocent souls...through allopathy his aim is to maime. Please guide him to salvatiion. Chiropractic needs him not!
