Annie and I have done so much in the past few months, it's overwhelming to think about sometimes. So while we try to blog it all, I thought that I would post something interesting that I read this morning.
Most of you know that in recent months I have decided to redirect my academia toward Chiropractic medicine. It has been an interest of mine for quite a few years and I just recently decided to pursue it more seriously. Earlier today I was reading an article posted on allvoices.com, a world news website. The article was titled "HIV Therapy Hope Through Viral Protein" and it detailed the studies that are being done by the United Kingdom's National Laboratory to better understand HIV and HIV treatments. One area that they have looked into is alternative medicine.
According to the article half of all patients studied use alternative medicine as a viable treatment. One of these areas that they have tested is chiropractic medicine. The article states, "Clinical trails done and monitored by the Rand Corporation and conducted at Life University, state that chiropractic care has great possibilities to boost immune function. Another study done by Patricia Brennan Ph.D., stated chiropractic mid back adjustments increased immune functions. Patients showed a 200% greater improvement than those who did not receive chiropractic adjustments."
What I think is most important about that statement is that chiropractic can not only benefit those with immune deficiencies. Chiropractic has produced those same results for people without HIV.
Another important thing to point out, is that those studies were conducted at LIfe UNiversity in Marietta, Georgia, the school that I will most likely be attending a year from now!
I know this post is a little dry, but if you made it this far, thanks! More interesting posts to come, so stay tuned!
