The tonsils, thymus gland, lymph nodes, spleen, digestive tract, bone marrow, and skin form the organs and glands that make up the immune system. Each part plays a vital role in the production of blood cells and lymphatic fluid that keeps the body fighting off foreign invaders and preventing them from infiltrating the body. The human immune system is stronger than the deadliest of bacteria, more sophisticated than the best computer, and more precise than a navy sharpshooter.

Twenty million people died from the global flu pandemic of 1918. Half a million Americans perished within six months. Chiropractic had been emerging for 23 years and still in the early stages of research and development in Davenport, Iowa. The populace of the community suffered through the influenza scare like most every community across the country. Fifty medical doctors treated 4,953 cases of the flu. 274 of those people succumbed to their illness. One hundred fifty chiropractors and chiropractic students in the same city treated 1,635 cases of the flu. Only one of those patients died. Statistics and records from 1918 document 925 deaths out of every 10,000 people treated medically for the flu but only 25 deaths out of every 10,000 people treated with spinal adjustments.

Conjoined twins named Masha and Dasha were born in Russia in the 1950’s. They each had one arm and shared one pair of legs. The fusion created a circumstance where the twins shared many of their internal organs. Each twin did maintain separate hearts and circulatory systems. This meant that the same blood which circulated throughout Masha’s blood vessels also circulated through Dasha’s vessels. The amazing and unique part of their health history focuses on their nervous systems. Although the same blood circulated through their bodies, each twin possessed a separate and different brain and spinal cord. The separate nervous systems created fascinating instances where one twin would become ill while the other did not. The germs of the sick twin would flow through the shared blood of both twins but only one would experience symptoms from the flu or measles virus. The other twin would be symptom free.
