The Truth about the Germ Theory
Written by Dr. Sandra Stanton
Germs are everywhere. The viruses and bacteria we call germs are everywhere. They’re in the food we eat, the air we breathe, and in the water we drink (if tap water, of course.) They can only result in disease when our bodies provide a hospitable environment for them to produce.
For example, let’s say you inhale some tuberculosis germs. Just because these germs are present in your body does not mean that you’ll get tuberculosis, it depends upon many factors, such as the health of your lungs, the function of your immune system, and your overall health.
The Nervous System controls the proper function (health) of your lungs & all the other tissues and organs of your body: that’s why we as Chiropractors are so keenly interested in the integrity of your nervous system. Since the controlling nerve impulses travel through the spinal column, Chiropractic Care can have an affect on many aspects of health besides back and neck pain. If the presence of germs automatically caused disease, you would have a constant head cold and suffer from a chronic case of the flu!
You see… germs no more cause disease than cars cause automobile accidents!
Who do you know who suffers from a depressed immune system? Refer them to us, and we’ll see if we can help.
