Cancer Activation and the Immune Response
Just finished reading a great article, CHARACTERIZING CANCER VIA THE IMMUNE RESPONSE, on research being done by Immunologist, Judith Agudo in the current issue of, The Scientist- a good online science journal.
Basically, she has found that your immune cells, T-Cells that fight cancer and other invaders are triggered and then worn down by environmental stress (gut, respiratory, and skin stresses) making cancer expression worse. Autoimmunity of course in the end result of environmental stress as it inflames the gut and then the immune reaction becomes blood borne. This constant bombardment can let cancer genes surface and express.
Antioxidants, knowing your genetic weaknesses to environmental stressors and foods, and dealing with mental stress. This supports our chiropractic and nutritional approach that gets me the results I get for my patients that other medical and “natural” doctors don’t get.
Chiropractic is the physical destressing of the nervous system from the daily grind. If you are on the computer, drive for living, walk around a campus or workplace a lot you are using your body physically. YOu need to get “re-aligned” to keep the joints in the grooves that stretching and exercise cannot fix. Actually exercise can get you joints more stuck if not done correctly! See your chirpractor regularly NOT just when you hurt somewhere. Those monthly visits will pay you HUGE dividends 10 and 20 years from now.
Get your children’s spines checked from birth to 20 yrs old. “It is easier to grow a healthy child than it is to fix a broken adult”. A catch phrase I have used for 30 years now. After 20 they need to take responsibility and continue chriopractic care on their own dime. Raise an independant person not a dependant 30 year old child. Understanding that regular chiropractic keeps their body’s healthy not drugs will make a lifetime of high quality enjoyment and health.
Life happens…
Sometimes we do everything “right” but we still get “sick”. This is when medicine is awesome but it doesn’t mean yoru chiropractic and nutritional care all those years did not work. It just means that the world is polluted place and can even over whelm a “healthy person”. Working together with your medical doctor and your natural doctor can get you through these scary times. I have a few cancer patients that I treat chiropractically and with targeted nutrition. Luckily at this time they are all in remission and doing quite well. I have been guiding them for years now, they come in regularly for Nutrition Response Testing, Functional Medicine and Chiropractic. The biggest habit they do is that they take and FOLLOW ALL MY RECOMMENDATIONS and follow them at home!
This article on cancer and immune response illustrates why what I do as “Natural Doctor” works, we keep the metabolic stress low by finding out what their environmental stressors are and avoiding them or knowing what herb or supplements they need to repair the damage that stressor create. We catch it in real time; weekly or on monthly visits when it is acute. Or on the quarterly maintenance Wellness Check-ups when they get that well!
Reach out to our office with any questions, the Nutrition work is done in the office or via Zoom so you don’t have to live close to my office to have me as your doctor.
