Dr. Doreo's Health Meditations

Certain features have been elucidated about the tendencies of human infection of the COVID-19 virus. The most recent paper published in The Journal of Medical Virology early in 2020 states: "These findings suggested that the initiation of the immune response result in the production of chemokines and cytokines, which damage normal host lung." 1 Chemokines and Cytokines are the chemicals the body uses to fight infection, with the purpose of creating a healing for the host-human. When the person has a pre-existing high level of these inflammatory chemicals or has a harder time dampening a hyper-vigilant immune response (as in autoimmunity), an infection can hit much harder than for those with normal inflammatory responses. This explains why COVID-19 is worse for people with underlying conditions that often are paired with older age: diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune conditions. Determining the level of inflammationfrom a blood sample might help understand where the in...

Many people ask how is Applied Kinesiology different?    Applied Kinesiology is used in the chiropractic examination to establish additional information about normal and abnormal body function accomplished by muscle tests. Kinesiology defined is, the study of movement as it relates to muscles of the body.   Applied means that we apply the information of body movement to the diagnosis and treatment.   Since the original discovery of applied kinesiology during the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart, the principle has broadened to include evaluation of the nervous system, vascular system, lymphatic system, nutrition, acupuncture and cerebrospinal fluid function. Since nerves control body functions, including all the major systems, it is essential that a doctor be able to evaluate the nerves that control the function of the whole body, ie: the glands, organs, muscles, skin, and other tissues.   This information is combined with other diagnostic physical ...
