The nervous system works in unison with the immune system, responding to environmental factors allowing the body to adapt and heal appropriately. Neural irritation due to spinal misalignments is stressful to the body and causes a disharmonious and poorly coordinated immune response. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the immune system by relieving nerve interference.
Subluxation is the term for misalignments of the spine that cause compression and irritation of nerve pathways affecting organ systems of the body. Subluxations are an example of physical nerve stress that affects neural control. This stress leads to conditions of altered immune function and increased susceptibility to a variety of diseases.
Inflammatory based disease is influenced by both the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Nerve stimulation directly affects the growth and function of inflammatory cells. Researchers found that dysfunction in this pathway results in the development of various inflammatory syndromes such as rheumatoid arthritis and behavioral syndromes such as depression. Additionally, this dysfunctional neuro-endo-immune response plays a significant role in immune-compromised conditions such as chronic infections and cancer.
In 1975, Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York's Preventive Medicine Institute and professor in Environmental Health at New York University, began researching our immune systems susceptibility to various diseases. Pero's team monitored 107 individuals who had received long-term Chiropractic care. The chiropractic patients were shown to have a 200% greater immune response than people who had not received chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune response than people with cancer and other life threatening diseases. Age was irrelevant in the study with seniors receiving equal immune benefits as their younger participants.
Pero concluded, 'Chiropractic may optimize whatever genetic abilities you have so that you can fully resist serious disease...I have never seen a group other than this show a 200% increase over normal patients.'
Simply put chiropractic enables your body to better cope with everyday environmental stresses. As these stresses mount, whether chemical, physical or emotional, our body is more susceptible to dysfunction and disease. By ensuring our nervous system is functioning at its ideal level we are much better able to handle these stresses and ensure optimal nervous and immune system function.

Using Low Vision Aids To Make Life Better
http://bit.ly/oUICYt
There are people whose vision has greatly diminished over time for various reasons, or they never had good eyesight to begin with, and they needed help performing the everyday activities that many of use take for granted. Fortunately, there are a number of low vision aids that help them in their daily lives. These products range from telephones, watches, canes, voice recognition software, and a host of other items.
Big button phones are available that are brightly lit so the person who has difficulty seeing can tell where the numbers are to make it easier for them to dial out. They also come with a talking caller identification system in case the person also can not read the small print on traditional phones and wishes to not answer the phone to find out who is there.
Wrist watches can be worn that can speak the time when you press a button. For those who do not want this particular style, there are others that have a large illuminated face with large numbers and hands that one with limited sight can see.
Canes are available for people to tell what is immediately in front of them and to the sides. This helps a person lead an active life by walking freely outside. These are generally very lightweight and can be folded up for easy storage.
A newer product is voice recognition software that is applied to a computer to allow someone who cannot see the monitor and keys, but still wants to use the latest technologies and stay connected to the world via the web.
There are many different products being developed to provide low vision aids for those with poor eye sight. As the technologies advance, so will the offerings.
In today's increasingly online world it's important to have good eyesight. Between computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices we are spending much of our time looking at monitors, and don't forget our favorite TV programming either! If you are having trouble seeing properly, then you should contact EnhancedVision.com for more information. They offer low vision assistance and products that can change your life.
