Kidneys and Pancreas
by: Phyllis on Mon, Sep 21 2009

I was born with a very small pancreas -half the size of a normal adult pancreas and have lived all my life on the edge of become diabetic. I was also born with cysts on my kidneys but have never had a bladder/kidney infection in my life. I recently started a program of intense chiropractic care and discovered major benefits from this in that within 5 short weeks I was able to get off my thyroid medication. I had no idea how much chiropractic support can affect the rest of my body in such a positive way. I don’t dwell on my birth defects, in fact, I am almost 70 yrs. of age but still work full time in my own business because I have a very disciplined, selective diet, and a positive personality.
