HOW IS YOUR BODY CHEMISTRY ?

When was the last time someone asked you that ? Probably never. People may
ask you how you feel or how is your headache or how is your leg doing, but
they never ask about your body's chemistry. Yet that may be the most
important factor in your life and health. They do not ask because you
cannot tell them, and you cannot tell them because you just do not know. In
fact, no one can really know what their body chemistry should be. You see
everyone is different and only your body knows what your chemistry should
be. What is your normal blood sugar, histamine level, adrenaline,
cortisone, and serotonin level at this very moment ? You don't know, you
can't know nor can you know what it should be. No one does and there are
thousands of other chemicals which are vital to your life and health.
Science is not even able to guess what is the average for many of these
chemicals, let alone what is normal for any particular person. There are,
more then likely, some that have not even been discovered yet. Everyone's
body chemistry is different and everyone reacts differently to changes in
body chemistry.

You need look no further than your local bar to prove this point. The
consumption of alcohol changes your body chemistry, and changes in your body
chemistry effect how you react and perform. When some people drink alcohol,
changes in their body chemistry make them belligerent, while others may
become mellow. Some become withdrawn, others are the life of the party.
Some become somber, almost morose and others laugh and have a good time.
Some get sick or have a hangover the next day and others experience no after
effects. One thing we do know about alcohol, it effects judgement, your
reflexes, your reaction time and your eye-hand coordination. That is why
the law will not allow you to drive a motor vehicle when your blood alcohol
level reaches a certain point. But who establishes that point ? Like every
chemical, and alcohol is a chemical, the proper level is probably different
for everyone. Some people, well within the legal limits for blood alcohol,
may still be functioning poorly that driving a motor vehicle could be fatal.
This is but one chemical. There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of
chemicals in your body all of which affect your body's performance in one
way or another.

There is another aspect of body chemistry that is important to your
Chiropractor. You see millions of glands and cells that produce all the
chemicals in your body are controlled by the nerve system. You cannot
perform any function in life without the production of chemicals.
Everything from laughing to sleeping, to digesting food depends upon the
production of chemicals and doing those things at your best depends upon
having just the right chemicals produced in just the right amounts. If
there is an interference in your nervous system due to what Chiropractors
call a Vertebral Subluxation, then your body chemistry is going to be
altered and your body will not work as it should. Chiropractors do not know
what your body chemistry should be. As we said before, no one but the inner
wisdom of your body knows what your body chemistry should be, what chemicals
need to be produced, when they are needed and in what amounts. But one
thing your Chiropractor does know. Chiropractors know when there is a
vertebra out of place in your spine, when there is interference in your
nerve system that is altering the message from the brain to the millions of
little chemical factories in your body and upsetting your body chemistry.
What is more, the Chiropractor can correct that nerve-interfering
subluxation quickly and efficiently so that your body has the greatest
opportunity of normalizing your body chemistry and keeping it normal.
Regular Chiropractic visits are vital to every aspect of your life and
health, including your body chemistry.
