How do I know the mind-body connection is such an important healing force? In 1981 a neurobiologist, David Felton, at the Indiana University School of Medicine discovered that the immune system is hard-wired to the brain through the nervous system. He traced nerves to different body locations such as bone marrow, lymph nodes and the spleen. He discovered that a network of nerves led to blood vessels and that cells of the immune system and nerves in the thymus and spleen ended near clusters of other cells that help to control nerve function. He actually saw in a spleen tissue sample the same nerve fibers from the central nervous system—the wiring that leads to the brain—together with white blood cells—the key players in the immune system. He showed proof that the immune system and central nervous system are connected.
For the first time, there was scientific proof that the immune system is under direct control of the brain. Why is this so important to you as you begin another New Year? My question to you as you begin 2008 is: what are you thinking your immune system into doing? Are you thinking yourself healthy or sick? From my perspective of 24 years of chiropractic specialization, I have to ask: since your nerves serve as the communication lines between your brain and your body and immune system, are you sure those lines are open so your brain can keep you healthy? If you have misaligned spinal bones, your brain may not be able to communicate properly with your body and with your immune system. Having these spinal misalignments, or subluxations, may cause pain and may also weaken your immune system, leading to sickness and disease-even weight issues!
