Here is a great article.... read and learn about how chiropractic helped Dr. Mayo of the Mayo Clinic. Chiropractic has similar challenges today that they had back then. Why are you looking at my spine when my knee hurts... when my stomach hurts.... i have asthma. The old philosophy of health, which is what we call the medical or mechanistic model, says that health comes from the outside in, that germs cause disease, that if your body is malfunctioning, medicate it or cut it out.
The healthier health care philosophy says that health comes from the inside out (vitalistic), that germs don't make you sick... it's the host's weak resistance, and if the body is malfunctioning, look to the cause of the problem, correct it and allow the body to heal itself. Thomas Edison said it the best....
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame (spine), in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
And BJ Palmer said
"Have you more faith in a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?"
Hope you enjoy!!
