Can Chiropractic help treat infectious disease?

Could chiropractic care help prevent viral infection as well support the body's ability to overcome an infection? There’s a graph I’ve seen on several of my colleague's social media posts since this most recent epidemic began. The data shown on it is….there’s no other word...incredible. 

I’ve spent the last hour looking for original sources for the data and it isn’t easy to find. Here’s an article written in 1978 that isn’t exactly what I’m looking for, but it’s worth reading. I feel inspired by some of the stories I’ve come across about chiropractors during the Spanish Flu outbreak. One chiropractor went door to door, every single day, adjusting the infirmed people of her town who wanted her help. According to the story, she didn’t lose a single patient to the flu that year. Remarkable.

I wish I could do that now. Go door to door in my neighborhood, treating people who were either currently sick or afraid of getting sick. I would imagine that not going over well these days. I would probably get shamed in the media for spreading the virus door to door, if people even let me in their homes in the first place, which they probably wouldn’t. I can’t tell you how many people cancel their appointments because they are sick. Chiropractic care isn’t just for the healthy, it’s for everyone with a nervous system.  A balanced nervous system is scientifically shown to regulate immune function in powerful ways. I can’t be certain how accurate the above graph is, but if there’s any truth to it, I should be treating as many people as I can, not distancing myself from them.
