Scanning to reach optimum health

- BY DR ELINE PEDERSEN DIRECTOR, ABERDEEN CHIROPRACT­IC CLINIC

With winter now upon us, the threat of picking up a common cold or flu increases drasticall­y and poses a threat to our enjoyment of the festive period. Our immune system is highly dependent on our microbiome – microorgan­isms with which we share our body – and the balance of theses good and bad bacteria in our bodies.

Medical research links this to chronic diseases from diabetes to cancer, depression and even genetic expression.

Our immune system’s first line of defence are these friendly bacteria as they attempt to stop the unfriendly bacteria from colonising and causing disease.

Resident viruses and bacteria attempt to cause cold and flu within the body. Many people’s regular colds and flu have the same pattern – they might start as sore throat, then fever, blocked nose and feeling unwell.

Use of antibiotic­s can cause an imbalance in our microbiome, as most of our friendly bacteria die off as well. An acidic diet also feeds the unfriendly bacteria, meaning they can easily flourish and cause low-grade infections such as bowel symptoms and skin conditions.

Preventati­ve measures focus on diet, exercise, probiotics and avoiding antibiotic­s unless really necessary. However, it is also important to recognise the vital role which natural therapy methods can play.

New technology, available at Aberdeen Chiropract­ic Clinic, can provide a solution tomany of the previously mentioned conditions.

Specialise­d bioresonan­ce programmes awaken and stimulate the detoxifica­tion and blood-filtering organs like the liver, kidneys and the lymphatic system.

A bioresonan­ce scan can also indicate a person’s food allergies as well as vitamin and mineral deficienci­es that will be included in the overall treatment to help patients reach optimum health.

Bioresonan­ce is also considered the best alternativ­e to antibiotic­s and is safe for the whole family to use, even for prevention.
