This is the story of an M.D. (medical doctor) named Henry Winsor who was curious about the claims of chiropractic and decided to design experiments to determine if chiropractic claims were based in fact. Dr. Winsor looked at the claim chiropractic doctors make and he asked himself: “Chiropractors claim that by adjusting one vertebra, they can relieve stomach troubles and ulcers; by adjusting another, menstrual cramps; and by adjusting the spine create favorable healing of other conditions such as kidney diseases, constipation, heart disease, thyroid conditions, and lung disease may resolve–but how?”

He decided to dissect animal and autopsy human cadavers to see if there was a relationship between any diseased internal organ found along the vertebrae related to the nerves that went to that organ. Dr. Winsor received permission to conduct his experiments from The University of Pennsylvania. In a chain of three studies, he dissected a total of 22 cat cadavers and 75 human cadavers. Of these, 212 were found to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) sections as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to sympathetic sections that were distinct from the vertebrae out of line. To put it differently, there was almost a 100 percent correlation between disorders of the internal organs and mild curvatures of the spinal column.

Disorders analyzed

– Stomach Diseases: All nine cases of spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic region (T5 T9) had stomach disease. – Lung Ailment: All 26 instances of lung ailment had spinal misalignments in the upper thoracic back. – Pancreas: All three instances with pancreas disorder had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics. – Spleen: All 11 instances with spleen disorders had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics. – Kidneys: All 17 cases with kidney disease had vertebrae in the lower thoracics out of alignment. – Prostate and Bladder Disorder: All eight instances with kidney, prostate and bladder disorder had the lumbar (L2-L3) vertebrae misaligned. – Uterus: both instances of uterine disease had the second lumbar misaligned. – Heart Disease: All 20 cases with heart and pericardium states had the upper five thoracic vertebrae (T1 – T5) misaligned. Dr. Winsor’s results are printed in The Medical Times, November 1921, and are discoverable in any medical library. That’s right. Despite the ongoing mainstream medical complex ignoring the facts, the definitive proof that misalignments of the spine cause degenerative and life-ending diseases has existed since 1921!

Modern Research Also Demonstrates Advantages of Chiropractic

What’s unbelievable is that there’s much more research, a bulk of it done recently, that demonstrates the advantage of chiropractic care in many facets of well-being including the immune system. Henry Winsor’s study is not the only one. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone understood that chiropractic care could let their family’s immune systems be as healthy as they’re meant to be? The most recent research reveals individuals with no symptoms at all who receive chiropractic care improve their well-being. That means there’s valid scientific documentation that as you integrate chiropractic care into your lifestyle, you continue to get healthier even should you do not have any present symptoms. Someone that has a lack of symptoms can be rather ill and judging their well-being based upon symptoms isn’t wise. However, chiropractic is about the focus of creating wellness, well-being, and wholeness. We do have a choice in taking a passive route and oblivious part in creating a downward spiral of illness and disease, or an active and educated one in creating an upward spiral of health and energy. Which would you pick for yourself? How about for your children? How Many people Receive Chiropractic Care? Our field has been talking about, training, inquiring, and occasionally pleading with people to get examined by a Dr. of Chiropractic for nerve interference for over 100 years. Unfortunately, just 10 percent to 18 percent of our nation’s people have received chiropractic care. In the U.S., we represent about 5 percent of the world’s people, and we use 60 percent of the world’s pharmaceuticals. This notion of better health through better drugs isn’t working very well is it? Check out the accidental death statistics for deaths caused by medications: it’s not a pretty number. So whether you have a disorder, an illness, symptoms, or are without a symptom and need to create more well-being, or need to learn more about your body, the state of your spine to see if you have nerve interference, come in and see us. Let Dr. Stakes help pinpoint how much or little you’re expressing your well-being potential. You could reap exceptional benefits of the care of a low-impact, gentle, advanced activator technique certified chiropractor. It is the best gift you can give yourself and your family.
