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.

Research proves that longevity and quality of life directly relate with the efficiency of heart rate variability. Heart rate variability (HRV) records the measured changes of time intervals between successive heart beats. The autonomic nervous system directly controls HRV. A balance in heart rate variability has proven to increase both the length and quality of an individual’s life. A study in 2010 showed a correlation between an increase in HRV and longevity because healthy longevity depends on the preservation of autonomic function measured through HRV.

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.
