Louis Pasteur, one of the greatest scientists of his time, was quoted saying “It’s the terrain, not the germ that causes the disease.” This short but profound statement provides one of the keys to healthy living. You see germs in a sense are no different than the seeds in our story above. Germs can’t grow unless they are in the right environment. Harmful germs or bacteria can’t thrive in a healthy body.

Look at it this way, your body has an inborn resistance. If that resistance lowers your body becomes more susceptible to getting sick. As long as your resistance stays at a high level your body will be better equipped to fight off any invaders. So the idea is not to be so concerned with germs from the outside as much as you should be concerned with strengthening your internal environment.

With a 200% immune system boost, germs have as much chance of causing sickness as seeds do growing on concrete.

Remember, the purpose of chiropractic has been and always will be, to allow you to live your life at your fullest potential, by allowing your nerves to relay messages from your brain into your body.  So the next time you are getting adjusted realize one of the great benefits of having a healthy nerve system is a stronger immune system!
