Flu season is coming and Tucson Chiropractic office,  Tompkins Family Chiropractic, will be giving patients a big immune boost this fall.  But will it be the flu shot?

Sorry, this is a very misleading title and I’ll  let you know right away that we are not providing flu shots.  Here are a few reasons why.

First I must explain some facts about the immune system that everyone should know.

There are 2 types of immune responses.  Th1 is cellular immunity, th2 is humoral immunity.  Th1 is permanent, Th2 isn’t.  Th2 is also related to inflammatory conditions.  If there is a balance in those immune responses then our body is healthy, but if Th2 is dominant,

then the body will experience abnormally high inflammatory responses, leading to Inflammatory diseases (heart disease, cancers, autoimmune disorders.)  What things cause Th2 imbalance (bad immune response)?Antibiotics (overuse)vaccineslack of exposure to microbes (dirt)

Because of this, and the fact that I never prescribe medications, we will not be providing flu shots.  But there will be an immune boost nonetheless.  There are numerous studies on Chiropractic and it’s effect on the immune system and the results are pretty surprising but awesome.

107 individuals were tested who had received long-term Chiropractic care. Thechiropractic patients were shown to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or serious diseases.

Interestingly, Per found no decline with the various age groups in the study demonstrating that the DNA repairing enzymes were just as present in long-term chiropractic senior groups as they were in the younger groups.

Chiropractic adjustments in many studies have been shown to improve white blood cell count.

If you want to improve the function of your immune system, you can turn to artificial immunity of a vaccine.  Or you can boost your body’s immune response naturally with Chiropractic care.  It’s your choice.

Here are a few other things that you can try to boost your immune system.Exercise:  It is shown through research that regular aerobic exercise will reduce sick days by 40%Stress:  Stress increases inflammation which fuels the TH2 immune response.  This imbalance creates long-term inflammation.

water:  water intake improves the production and travel of lymph, the immune material that allows white blood cells to travel through the body to fight diseasesugar: sugar increases inflammation levels and decreases immune function so avoid sugar whenever possible.
