The medical and chiropractic approaches to healing are very different. Chiropractic's goal is to remove a severe form of spine and nerve stress (the vertebral subluxation) from your body. Subluxations interfere with the proper function of your nervous system, including your brain, and can affect your physical and mental health. When your chiropractor corrects your subluxation, your natural healing ability or "inner healer" can function at greater efficiency. Your body/mind functions better and heals better.

The medical approach often takes the form of prescribing drugs to alter or suppress your symptoms, not to make your body work better. That's why when you stop taking the drugs, your symptoms often come back. If drugs really made you healthy those taking the most of them should be the healthiest but look around, aren't they the sickest?

Does an antibiotic correct the body weakness that caused the bacteria to grow in the first place? Does cutting off the cancerous breast correct the metabolism or toxicity that caused the cancer to grow in the first place? Does lowering blood pressure with drugs correct the body malfunction that is raising the blood pressure? The answer to all these questions is no!

Drugs may be necessary at times in your life, but they are not healing you. Medicine may, at times, be necessary, but there's much too much medicine, too much surgery and too many drugs. Millions of people are hospitalized each year due to reactions to prescription drugs and hundreds of thousands of people die each year from prescription drugs and medical mistakes. Medicine is a powerful form of health care and should only be used after safer, more natural healing methods have been tried.

Have a great and health filled day!
