Is It The Three Sneezes In A Row? Or The Itchy Eyes? Allergy Season Has Arrived
When we talk about spring allergies, we usually associate it with pollen, hay fever, dandelions and allergy medications. How about associating allergies with immune system function and response? The immune system becomes confused by some sort of foreign substance or object and creates a response. A HEALTHY response is one that occurs for a limited amount of time. The term allergen only becomes involved when your body does not adapt to the foreign invader. Don’t become confused with what your body innately knows and what the commercials tell you. Just because “allergy medicine” is readily publicized as the “natural remedy” doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t have its own innate ability to adapt. A hypersensitivity is a learning exercise for your body. Don’t suppress it with over-the-counter medication. Your body won’t learn from it.
Think of your central nervous system as a control tower and it will tell your immune system to release histamines when something attacks your body. That is what your body is supposed to do naturally. If something such as a spinal subluxation causes dysfunction in the control tower, then the messages are not getting conveyed properly. What would be the consequence of this? Releasing histamines improperly, which we “normally” think to take antihistamines which essentially is taking an external substance to “patch” something that our immune system can do NATURALLY.
Recognize that a spinal subluxation when prolonged, is the start of disease. In Chiropractic we seek to find the cause of the dysfunction. Chiropractic and allergies you must realize this is not a cure, but it’s healing, and in healing your body becomes stronger.
