Fear Creates Neurological Dysfunction & Disease

Few people are aware of the fact that in 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) changed the criteria for declaring a pandemic.  According to Dr Joseph Mercola in his best-selling book, The Truth About Covid-19:

"The WHO's original definition of the term was: " ... when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness."

The key portion of that definition is "enormous numbers of deaths and illness."  This definition was changed in the month leading up to the 2009 swine flu pandemic.  The change was a simple but substantial one:  They merely removed the severity and high mortality criteria, leaving the definition of pandemic as "a worldwide epidemic of a disease."

The switch in definition allowed the WHO to declare swine flu a pandemic after a mere 144 people died from the infection, worldwide, and it's why COVID-19 is still promoted as a pandemic even though it has caused no excess mortality.  We now have plenty of data showing that the lethality of COVID-19 is on par with the seasonal flu.  It may be different in terms of symptoms and complications, but the lethality is about the same, and absolute risk is equivalent to the risk of dying in a car accident."

Why this was done is debatable, but by being able to declare a pandemic before a significant amount of fatalities simply makes people more fearful and more vulnerable.  According to data from the CDC and published in their journal Preventing Chronic Disease, fear and anxiety (along with obesity and diabetes with complications) were, in fact, two of the major risk factors for severe COVID-19.  

As fear directly affects the nervous system, the side effects on the rest of the body will eventually follow.  The impact of fear is well-documented in the scientific literature, as it "weakens our immune system and can cause cardiovascular damage, gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, and decreased fertility, accelerated ageing and even premature death."   We've seen many patients become empowered and less fearful as their nervous systems function better, making healthy habits and specific chiropractic care essential for real and perceived dangers.
