The Windsor Autopsies

At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Henry Winsor conducted an experiment based on chiropractors claim that by adjusting the vertebrae they can relieve stomach troubles, ulcers, menstrual cramps, thyroid conditions, kidney disease, constipation, heart disease, lung and other diseases. In this experiment he dissected both human and animal cadavers to see if there was any relationship between any diseased internal organs discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae and nerves that went to the organs. Dr. Winsor dissected 75 human and 72 cat cadavers. He found nearly 100% correlation between minor curvatures of the vertebrae and diseases of the internal organs.

Heart Disease
All 20 cases with heart and pericardium conditions had the upper five thoracic vertebrae misaligned (T1-T5).

Lung Disease
All 26 cases of lung disease has spinal misalignments in the upper thoracic area.

Stomach Disease
All nine cases of stomach disease had spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic (T5-T9) area.

Liver Disease
All 13 cases of liver disease had misalignments in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9).

Gallbladder
All five cases with gallstone disease had spinal misalignments in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9).

Pancreas
All three cases with pancreas disease had spinal misalignments in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9).

Spleen
All 11 cases with spleen disease had spinal misalignments in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9).

Kidney
All 17 cases with kidney disease were out of alignment in the lower thoracic area (T10-T12).

Prostate and Bladder Disease
All eight cases with prostate disease had the lumbar vertebrae misaligned.

Uterus
Two cases with uterine conditions had the second lumbar misaligned.
