Marketing of Prescription Drugs to Doctors.




This is hilarious to watch,but oh so true. The massive influence that the multi-BILLION dollar pharmaceutical companies have over our 'Health' (read- SICKness) is beyond a joke!

*Every day in the USA alone,Pharmaceutical companies spend $10 million ...every DAY,on ADVERTISING their prescription drugs*. They are bombarding you and telling you that you cannot lead a healthy life without having to take one or more of their drugs. This is insane.


*Every year in the USA alone,over 110,000 people DIE as a result of an adverse reaction to prescription drugs.*It is the third leading cause of death behind Heart Disease and Cancer. This is insane.

Think on this. If you and I were the CEOs of a major Pharmaceutical company,what would our job be to do? Make profits,right? And how would we do that? Sell more product,right? And how do we sell more product (drugs)? Convince the 'sheep'-ple of this world that they need pharmaceutical drugs.Make up some more "diseases" and "conditions" so that more drugs can be made to combat these conditions.

Pharmaceutical companies don't want healthy people in this world! Fact. They want Sick people that they can market to. If everyone in this world ate a varied and healthy diet void of fatty fast foods,if everyone in this world exercised vigorously five times a week and avoided the couch,TV and the XBox,if everyone in this world had regular checks with their Health and Wellness practitioner who focused on their patients HEALTH and WELLNESS and not their SICKness and treating symptoms,then Pharmaceutical companies would go out of business.Fact.

Next time you pop a pill,ask yourself this. Am I treating the CAUSE or am I treating a SYMPTOM?

Your future is determined by your present actions. All the groundwork that you do now,will reap you the rewards tomorrow.Be disciplined in how you treat your body,and in turn your body will serve you well. It is never too late to change your lifestyle,but remember that making changes to your diet,exercise routine and mental state of mind should become a habit and not a fad. Surround yourself with like minded people and live the life that you deserve. Chiropractic healthcare is just a small part of the big picture,but it is an essential part. Healthy functioning joints,releasing of muscular tension and correct transmission of nervous impulses contribute to a healthy functioning nervous system and a body that works as it is designed to work. HEALTHcare and not SICKness care. Being PRO-active to your health and not RE-active to a symptom. Enjoy this short video...it may change you forever smile emoticon

The Power of Chiropractic

Image
Chiropractic is far more than just "clicking bones" and "aligning the spine." Chiropractic is about achieving the optimal potential of the body,and ensuring that there is no nerve interference. When the body can work as it is designed to,then many 'symptoms' take care of themselves. This is why I refer to my favourite phrase of "finding the cause rather than treat a symptom." Bed wetting is a great example of that. I have had many young children over the years who have been brought in to me to 'treat' bed wetting. I don't claim to heal patients of any condition,including bed wetting. But what I do claim is this. I'll 'adjust' the spine and relieve the spine of any mechanical dysfunction and any spastic musculature,that could possibly be impinging on the nervous system. I'll deliver specific adjustments to a specific bone and move it in a specific direction. Once the nervous system dysfunction has been addressed

Elderly bodies are made in their youth

Image
The first official week of Summer has been and gone here in New Zealand. One of the common quotes throughout Winter from all the gyms is that "Summer bodies are made in Winter." True true. But as a Chiropractor,I'll take that quote further,and say that "Elderly bodies are made in their youth." Too often I see middle aged and elderly people hobbling in with degenerative issues and complete lack of any muscle tone. This could easily have been resolved when they were 'ten foot tall and bulletproof' in their younger years. Instead,they embark on an intensive Health and Fitness regime that is too much for their ailing body,and so they either quit or plod along at a leisurely pace that has minimal positive effects. It just becomes "too hard" and with a total lack of 'muscle memory' sometimes it seems impossible. A young body that is subjected to processed foods,late nights,boozy parties and zero exercise will not last too long until it even
