The Common Cold-we all know how unpleasant it can be.

It is an inflammation of the nasal cavity and nasal sinuses. A cold will make you wheeze, cough, sneeze & make you constantly reach for a tissue. It’s effects also range from very mild to very severe. They last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks and could lead to further complications, such as pnuemonia.

Studies Showing Chiropractic Boosting the Immune System

One of the most important studies was performed by Dr. Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor medicine at New York University.  It showed the positive effect that chiropractic care can have on the immune system and general health.

Dr. Pero measured the immune systems of people under chiropractic care as compared to those in the general population and those with cancer and other serious diseases.  His initial three-year study was of 107 individuals who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more.  The chiropractic patients were found to have a 200% greater immune competence than those people who had not received chiropractic care, and they had 400% greater immune competence than those people with cancer and other serious diseases.  The immune system superiority of those under chiropractic care did not appear to diminish with age.  Dr. Pero stated:

When applied in a clinical framework, I have never seen a group other than this chiropractic group to experience a 200% increase over the normal patients.  This is why it is so dramatically important.  We have never seen such a positive improvement in a group.
