Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
- 0:02Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractica. We have doctor Harley joining us. Hey
- 0:04Speaker 1: doing doctor Harley.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Hey, good morning John. I'm doing great start of a
- 0:08Speaker 2: good week here. Yeah.
- 0:10Speaker 1: And this is the time of year where people have
- 0:12Speaker 1: allergies kind of flare up, and sometimes you don't even
- 0:15Speaker 1: know what you're allergic to. It's just something in the air.
- 0:18Speaker 1: And there's a lot of stuff that's in the air
- 0:19Speaker 1: right now, isn't.
- 0:19Speaker 2: There right we start, we call it allergy season, right,
- 0:22Speaker 2: you know, kind of spring through fall, and different people
- 0:26Speaker 2: have different allergies or peaks with different things.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Throughout the year. But like, why here somebody sniffing over
- 0:31Speaker 1: my shoulder back here.
- 0:32Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. Maybe she's allergic to you.
- 0:34Speaker 1: It's heidg is allergic to me.
- 0:37Speaker 2: But anyway, you know, what are allergies? You know people like,
- 0:40Speaker 2: well I have allergies, Well what are they do? You
- 0:42Speaker 2: know what the problem is? Like what's causing it? And
- 0:45Speaker 2: an allergy is our body's response to like a normal thing.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We have pet, hair, dander, pollen, you name it. Our
- 0:53Speaker 2: immune system starts attacking this foreign object as like it's
- 0:58Speaker 2: a bacterial or a virus like a bad thing, So
- 1:00Speaker 2: we get that same immune response, histamine reaction, that running nose,
- 1:04Speaker 2: itchy eyes, just because our body's trying to like, oh,
- 1:07Speaker 2: kill it, kill it, kill it. But it's, you know,
- 1:08Speaker 2: kind of a normal thing like dog hare pollen, those
- 1:11Speaker 2: kinds of it's a normal thing in our environment. So
- 1:13Speaker 2: for whatever reason, our bodies identified that as a bad
- 1:16Speaker 2: thing and on our immune system is causing or having
- 1:20Speaker 2: that response. So, I mean, that's not necessarily a normal thing.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Our nervousystem and our immune system shouldn't be identifying like
- 1:27Speaker 2: perfectly normal things as an allergen. But we just we
- 1:31Speaker 2: kind of get that way.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And this time of year with farmers in the field
- 1:34Speaker 1: doing their harvest, and that's kicking stuff up in the air.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And I suppose that's part of what causes the issue
- 1:40Speaker 1: in the Midwest, isn't it, right, The.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Hay fever, we start getting more dust, the corn pollen,
- 1:44Speaker 2: you name it, like all these different things.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And some people think the answer is, oh, I got
- 1:48Speaker 1: to go get on a bunch of drugs. Well that
- 1:51Speaker 1: that could be an answer for some people, but that's
- 1:52Speaker 1: not for everybody. They're utilizing. Chiropractic is another way, and
- 1:56Speaker 1: this is something that everybody. Everybody has their own opinion
- 1:59Speaker 1: on it. But let's talk about what chiropractic can do
- 2:02Speaker 1: for people with allergies.
- 2:03Speaker 2: There's a lot of different answers we turn to every
- 2:06Speaker 2: allergy season, and some people might not even realize that
- 2:09Speaker 2: chiropractic can help with your allergies. And that comes down
- 2:12Speaker 2: to chiropractors, we're helping your immune system to function better.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So better functioning in our immune system, we're not going
- 2:18Speaker 2: to have that crazy attack from our immune system because
- 2:23Speaker 2: our nervousism and our immune system are communicating better, so
- 2:25Speaker 2: our brain's able to tell our immune system like, hey
- 2:27Speaker 2: that's not a bad thing. Calm down, so we don't
- 2:30Speaker 2: have that major histamine reaction. And maybe you still get
- 2:33Speaker 2: the sniffles. You know, not everyone are real to get
- 2:36Speaker 2: rid of like all the allergies, but we can help
- 2:37Speaker 2: tone down that immune response so you're not having the
- 2:40Speaker 2: crazy puffy, itchy eyes all the time. Or you know,
- 2:44Speaker 2: even some people like they take their allergy mint and
- 2:45Speaker 2: they still are getting the allergic reaction just because like
- 2:49Speaker 2: their body's just they're so overproductive with that. So that's
- 2:52Speaker 2: where it's like chiropractic can help ease allergy suffering. You know,
- 2:56Speaker 2: I've had patients that, like I'll typically have like five
- 2:58Speaker 2: sinus infections throughout the year because of all of my allergies,
- 3:01Speaker 2: and like, I haven't had one once I started with us,
- 3:04Speaker 2: just because our bodies functioning better. They still have allergies,
- 3:07Speaker 2: but their symptoms are way less.
- 3:09Speaker 1: If somebody listening is going, you know what, I am
- 3:11Speaker 1: sick and tired of snifflin and I'm blowing my nose
- 3:14Speaker 1: and getting the meds and all of that stuff, and
- 3:17Speaker 1: they would like to maybe try chiropractic to see if
- 3:19Speaker 1: it's right for them. How do they get in touch
