Flu Prevention

I’ve heard the flu is coming to a town near you. Are you prepared to take on the virus that ‘kills’? What are some things that you can do to help your body adapt to an environment that inevitably will contain the flu virus?
Help your body prevent/overcome the “FLU”:

* Healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables – include fresh garlic
* Boost your immune system with nutrients of Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc
* Get sufficient sleep minimum 8-9 hours/night for adults and more for kids
* Walk minimum 30 minutes/day outside of normal routine
* Drink plenty of water
* Keep a positive attitude!
* Chiropractic care

You may ask…. “How can chiropractic care help me prevent/overcome the ‘FLU’?” The chiropractic adjustment has been shown to improve circulation and increase white blood cell (WBC) production, thus, increasing immune function and fending off or fighting any diseased processes such as the ‘FLU’.

Did you know that when there was a ‘FLU’ epidemic in 1917-1918, it was estimated that 20 million people died in the world of that there were 500,000 American deaths. During this time in Davenport, Iowa, (chiropractic birthplace 1895) it was reported:

“out of the 93,590 patients treated by medical doctors, there were 6,116 deaths — a loss of one patient out of every 15. Chiropractors at the Palmer School of Chiropractic adjusted 1,635 cases, with only one death. Outside Davenport, chiropractors in Iowa cared for 4,735 cases with only six deaths — one out of 866. During the same epidemic, in Oklahoma, out of 3,490 flu patients under chiropractic care, there were only seven deaths. Furthermore, chiropractors were called in 233 cases given up as lost after medical treatment, and reportedly saved all but 25. In another report covering 4,193 cases by 213 chiropractors 4,104 showed complete recovery.”1

Chiropractic care will help you boost your immune system and overall body function.

Is chiropractic care part of your ‘FLU’ Prevention?

Before you take the ‘Flu Shot’ make an informed decision. There is plenty of research out there for and against taking the vaccine.
