The Vascular System, Endocrine System, Nervous Systems, and the Whole Person
Harold
Harper, DC, when president of a Chiropractic College wrote the book
“Anything Can Cause Anything”. I want to state he is correct, and
everything affects everything. The nervous systems coordinate and
control all organs and systems and relates us to our environment. The
fascia surrounds all nervous systems and organs of the body and affects
their functioning. Nutrition affects every aspect of our health and
physiology. It too must be a consideration for health and wellness.
Now you see why the Six Steps to Wellness was born and is necessary in
evaluating and treating every patient if you expect success.
Around the same time Chiropractic became a profession, Osteopathy got
its start. DD Palmer said the NS was supreme and Andrew Taylor Still
said the blood vascular system was the ruling influence. Of course,
they were both correct. They are completely connected. Continual
research and scientific discoveries have helped our understanding and
effectiveness in treating patients with the blending of many concepts
and techniques.
Let’s look at Nitric Oxide and other endothelial cell activities
to expand this idea of anything can cause anything and everything
affects everything in the body.
Endothelial cells attach to the smooth muscles lining the blood vessels
with proteins called integrins. These vascular endothelial cells are
hormone-like in their nature. They have receptors for all the different
hormones in the body, and they can produce growth factors and proteins
that change physiology.
All parts of the body are changing constantly, as the brain is plastic
in nature, so is the dynamic blood vascular system. This constant
changing causes the vascular endothelial cells to release messenger
proteins and growth factors to facilitate the delivery of blood, oxygen,
nutrients, hormone-signaling agents, immune cells, and other compounds
to tissues throughout the body.
The vascular endothelium produces more than 100 key metabolites and
growth factors, with more being discovered each year. One of the most
studied is endothelial nitric oxide, which increases blood vessel
dilation and blood flow, helps blood vessels heal after injury, and has
been shown to reverse heart disease and dissolve plaques.
The vascular endothelium produces vascular endothelial growth factor,
which helps blood vessels branch into areas where there are needs for
increased blood supply. It also releases a vascular cell adhesion
molecule, which is important to fight infections and pathogens that
infiltrate into the blood vessel system.
As you can see, blood vessels are not just tunnels carrying blood but
are dynamic tissue and changing to meet the needs constantly. They
function as part of the endocrine system and therefore are damaged by
inflammation and all oxidative stress.
Atherosclerosis destroys endothelial cells and their signaling functions.
Plaquing becomes a rapidly progressive pathology.
Atherosclerosis causes thickening and stiffness of the arteries, with
permanent destruction of their vascular endothelial cells.
Diet, nutrition, emotions, toxic accumulation, allergies, sensitivities,
electromagnetic pollution, and structural balance supports or inhibits
the nervous systems, the vascular system, the endocrine system and all
aspects of health and physiological functioning.
All these variant factors in the Six Interferences, impact all of the
cells in the body, including the relationship between endothelial cells,
stroke, cardiovascular disease, and maintenance of vascular health,
which affects all normal vs. abnormal function and physiology.
The classes we teach on the Six Steps to Wellness cover many aspects of nutritional support. Today let’s just look at a few formulations to consider.
Optimal 1 Digestion- to allow for optimal digestion, assimilation absorption and elimination. Enzymes also help reverse inflammation.
Optimal Flora Plus- Proper flora are a must for all the
systems of the body. The gut is the Second Brain. The microbiome is
important in every aspect of normal physiology.0
Optimal Opti-Nitric- Natural most advanced formula to improve cardiovascular health and epithelial function.
Optimal BFF- This Blood Flexibility Formula allows for
more oxygen, better lung capacity, warmer extremities, stronger immune
system, reduced inflammation, lower cholesterol, and overall better
blood flow.
Opti-Immune-VRL- Helps the body’s ability to fight
against hidden and known infections, including the vascular cell
adhesion molecule mentioned earlier in the article and helps balance the
immune system.
The Six Steps encompass balancing the whole person, regardless of
symptoms or the diagnosis. Each person is an individual and must be
treated that way.
We really look forward to seeing you and your staff at Homecoming 2025. We have SO MUCH TO SHARE WITH YOU!
