Is Your Bucket Overflowing?

Allergies are so common, many people don’t even recognize the many ways our bodies alert us to allergic reactions, such as:
    • Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes • Sinus congestion • Asthma • Heartburn • Skin rashes, acne, itching • Fluid retention
Yet, the problem isn’t the pet dander, pollen, chemicals or spicy food. The problem is actually the person—not the allergen. If it were the allergen, everyone would react.
The ability to adapt to allergens involves the nervous system. So, it’s no surprise that many people with allergies also have vertebral subluxation(s) that may impair their body’s ability to adapt.
Think of your body’s ability to accommodate stressors like allergens as an empty bucket. Fill your bucket with the stress of poor nutrition, lack of rest, a stressful commute and your bucket is full.
Now, along comes tree pollen season, or a cat and you start wheezing. Why? Because your bucket is overflowing! The pollen or the cat may get the blame, but only because your ability to adapt has been overwhelmed.
Do you know someone with allergies? Introduce them to chiropractic. Perhaps we can help them enhance their ability to adapt!
