Guest, Dr. Perry Nickelston shares his journey from chiropractic, to illness, to addressing the immune system to recover from autoimmunity via the lymphatic system. He looks beyond the musculoskeletal system into the whole body as a whole system.
"No system in the body ever works alone. They never get injured alone. They never heal alone. There's no such thing as an isolated injury in the body. There's no such thing as isolated healing. It's all or nothing until lights out. What that means is everything matters. When it comes to healing recovery from pain and inflammation."
