Epigenetics and Chiropractic

The study of Epigenetics is fairly new on the Scientific scene.  It has caught my interest and hopefully it will catch yours.  Epigenetics is the study of changes in the organism (us) caused by a modification of gene expression rather than altering the genetic code.  In short our genes can change from the internal and external stimuli we encounter or create.  Imagine that, we can change the expression of that cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. gene from ever affecting our body from changes in our environment, lifestyle and thoughts.
Our social, emotional, cultural and economic environment impact the influence of the expression of our genes.  Thoughts and emotions account for up to 80% of influence on the brain and body as well as exercise, sunlight and everything we choose to put into or onto our body.
So how does this tie into Chiropractic?
Simply put, the brain and body are in constant communication via the nerve system (brain and spinal cord).  There are over 30 trillion cells in the body all wanting to work in total harmony through proper communication and this is achieved from a clear signalling process.
This process involves the tiny nerves that exit the bones of the back which become misaligned on a daily basis also from internal and external stimuli and sometimes get stuck (vertebral subluxation) thus causing major interference and wreaking havoc in our bodies!
I'm not sure about you but I want that system to be fully functioning so all my good thoughts, assimilation from the wholesome foods I eat, and the new construction of muscle, bone, nerve and brain cells are all being optimized.
So to be sure no spinal misalignments are present you need to have your spine checked at least once a week.  I personally get my spine checked 2-3 times per week.  This ensures that my nerve system is being fully optimized to do its job.
You are not only what you eat, but you are what you think!
Think good thoughts, live in harmony with nature and express gratitude everyday and your life will be enhanced beyond anything you imagined.

Peace
