Boost Immune System

I have had a nagging lower back pain for the last week. It gets more uncomfortable as the day progresses and by bedtime I really have a tough time getting comfortable. I made an appointment to see Norm's chiropractor today. http://www.drpaulgroulx.com/index.php
I checked to see if there were any contradictions having chiropractic care while dealing with cancer and chemotherapy.
I was surprised by what I read.

The Cancer Immune System Connection
Strengthening the immune system may help prevent cancer
Your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, including the immune system. The immune system is important since it not only destroys foreign invaders such as disease causing viruses, bacteria, yeast and parasites, but also destroy cancer cells.
However, if something interferes with the transmission of normal nerve impulses, your immune system may not be able to function fully.
Several studies have shown the positive effect of chiropractic care on immune system function. In one study, Ron Pero, head of cancer research at the University of Lund, in Lund, Sweden, and Chief of Cancer Research at the New York Preventative Research Center, says that the restoration and correction of the spine can increase the strength of the immune system by 200% - 400%. This can make a huge difference not only for individuals fighting diagnosed cancer, but also for otherwise healthy people trying to prevent it.
The study demonstrated that the cells which act like "Pac-Man" in your body, eating and destroying viruses, bacteria, parasites and cancer cells, are anywhere from two to four times more active in people receiving regular chiropractic care. So practice true prevention by keeping your immune system functioning at its highest level throughout your life with regular chiropractic wellness care.
