Asthma
Asthma is caused when the
tubes carrying air into and within the lungs are too sensitive
to dust, pollen, pollutants or other substances and conditions.
When the airways react, they constrict and their inner linings
swell, narrowing the passageway for air. During such an attack,
the asthmatic person struggles for breath.
The nervous system is directly involved in asthma. In almost
every case of asthma, there is a curving or twisting of the
spine. When the spine begins to curve or twist abnormally, it
can produce a light pressure in the spinal cord and nerves. If
less than 100% of the nerve energy from the brain is reaching
the lungs, the lungs may still function, but with considerable
difficulty.
Chiropractic offers a simple procedure to reduce the pressure on
the nerves to the lungs. Asthma can also be caused by poor
waste elimination. If one or more of the bodies waste
elimination organs fail to eliminate their normal share of
waste, then the remaining organs must pick up the slack. If one
of the elimination organs (skin, lungs, mucous membranes,
kidneys, and bowels) besides the lungs is failing to do its
share of elimination, the lungs may be asked to do more than its
share, causing fluid build up or mucous congestion, resulting in
symptoms such as asthma.
The regulation of the body’s elimination of waste is under the
control of the nervous system. Any interference with the flow of
nerve energy from the brain to the various elimination organs
can result in the situation described above. |
