"Disease Mongering"- how are they going to make you a customer of Big Pharma

Did you know that the pharmaceutical industry is trying to get everyone to become a customer?  Big pharma will do anything at any cost to make sure you are brainwashed to think your body is dumb, and that the only think you can do is take some sort of medication, or have a surgery that will use very costly medications.

 "With promotional campaigns that exploit our deepest fears of death, decay, and disease, the $500 billion pharmaceutical industry is literally changing what it means to be human.  Rightly rewarded for saving life and reducing suffering, the global drug giants are no longer content selling medicines only to the ill.  Because Wall Street knows well, there's a lot of money to be made telling healthy people they're sick." Selling Sickness

So realize, that what it comes down to is their bottom line $$.  They are public companies and need to make money for there shareholders.  Most of the Continuing Education done by medical doctors on which people should use which drugs, is primarily funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Almost 100% of biomedical research that should be funded by non-profit agencies or private agencies is funded by the pharmaceutical industry itself.  Is this scary,  or what?.  The British Medical Journal states " Twisted together like the snake and the staff, doctors and drug companies have become entangled in a web of interactions as controversial as they are ubiquitous[everywhere]."  To add injury to insult, the British Medical Journal's slogan is "helping doctors make better decisions".

We share all this information with you because your health depends on it.  One thing that makes Chiropractors very unique as health care providers is that we embrace the natural healing powers of the human body.  Both you and I know that when you cut your finger, it's your body's innate wisdom that does the healing.   It sends white and red blood cells to the area, platelets for closing the cut, as well as many other functions to allow that healing process to occur.  We all know that band-aids don't do the healing.  It's the same thing with medicine.  It doesn't do the healing!

Chiropractic works intimately with your body's innate wisdom, and your body and your life are powered by that wisdom .  If you want to make sure that your power is at 100%, and find out how chiropractic can help to make that happen, go to www.NYCLC.com and you can email us with any of your questions.  For now, I hope you learned something and maybe spiked your interest in getting and staying healthy without the use of drugs or surgery.
