Link between your Gut, your Vagus nerve and the incidence of Parkinson's Disease
The marvellous Vagus Nerve
There was an interesting Danish study recently published that suggested a significant association between gut function and the incidence of Parkinson's Disease. The study found that those people who had had their vagus nerve severed in the past had a significantly lower incidence of developing the disease.
This may suggest a possible link between gut health and resultant pathological effects on the brain. Further evidence that you should consider the health of your gut and indeed the type of bacteria that lives within it (your 'microbiome') as of the utmost importance to your general health and longevity.
Interference
Poor Signal
Chiropractors simply attempt to remove interference to the signalling of your nervous system - a bit like tuning your TV to make the picture crystal clear

“the evidence that vegetarian and vegan diets almost always cause a multitude of nutritional deficiencies is overwhelmingly conclusive.
During the course of a lifetime, vegetarian diets will not reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases and will not allow you to live longer. Rather, this abnormal way of eating will predispose you to a host of health problems and illnesses. Vegetarianism is an unnatural way of eating that has no evolutionary precedent in our species.

“You can’t go mostly Gluten free or nearly Gluten free - gluten can have an effect on your physiology that lasts for days - So either do it properly and make a judgement on how you feel or Don’t make a judgement on the benefits of going Gluten free - In my humble opinion : I would recommend every human being to go Gluten Free.”

Chiropractic Philosophy
In order to maximise the expression of the potential within, we work best when we are free of interference…
there are three interferences :
-Trauma (a car accident)
-Toxins - either too much (cigarette smoke) or too little (vit D3) of something
-Auto-suggestion or thoughts (emotional or psychological stressors)
[after DD and BJ Palmer]
the tenets of Chiropractic
-
We are all self healing and self regulating
-Our nervous systems are the master control systems of us; they are the windows to our worlds
-We must address the cause and not the symptoms of a lack of health
-We must address the person as a physical, emotional and spiritual whole and not the components of a mechanism
“Natural Forces within us are the true healers of disease”
“the greatest force in the human body is the natural drive of the body to heal itself, but that force is not independent of the belief system, which can translate expectations into physiologic change. Nothing is more wondrous than the fifteen billion neurons in the human brain than their ability to convert thoughts, hopes, ideas and attitudes into chemical substances. Everything begins therefore, with belief. What we believe is the most powerful option of all.”
“Nature needs no help, just no interference.”
“D.D. Palmer emphasized the importance of “tone” in the dynamics of health and disease. “Life is an expression of tone. Tone is the normal degree of nerve tension. Tone is expressed in function by normal elasticity, strength, and excitability…the cause of disease is any variation in tone.” [3] B.J. Palmer acknowledged the role of muscular function in maintaining life. “Life is motion; motion is life. The absence of motion is death…in human beings, motion is produced by muscles…that which moves muscles is nerve force. ” [4]”
“When yesterday’s ‘triumph of modern chemistry’ turns out to be today’s deadly threat to the global environment, it is legitimate to ask what else we don’t know.”
“Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life and some day he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous and will live in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without.”
“‘illnesses constantly hover above us, their seeds blown by the wind, but they do not set in the terrain unless the terrain is ready to receive them’”
