"Finish the Fight?" by Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

"Finish the fight?" What am I talking about? Well, there's a current TV ad campaign for the American Cancer Society. The tag line is "Finish the fight."

What is strongly implied is that they... the Medical Establishment, as part of the PMG (Pharmaceutical-Medical-Governmental) Complex... has made amazing strides in the defeat of cancer. (Why do they always use war-like words? It's weird, huh?) The implication is that they just need a little more money, and the "war" will be won. What do they mean? Do they mean no more cancer, ever, in anyone, or do they mean a lot less, or do they mean that every cancer patient gets cured and lives forever? This is nonsense.

Realize that they, the American Cancer Society, like other disease charities, are playing upon your emotions. They are not playing to reason, and they are certainly not playing to science. Cancer is so rampant that just about everyone has a family member or a friend, if not several, who has succumbed to one cancer or another. So, you want do do something... ANYTHING. What if "anything" has little to no real value, if it will not really help anyone, other than the drug corporations, the cancer centers, etc.?

Reading the works of Dr. BJ Palmer, "Developer of Chiropractic," he wrote of various medical charities begging for money back in the 30's, the 40's, the 50's, for cancer and other maladies, always claiming that the "cure is just around the corner." Well, we haven't yet made it around the corner, and we never will. If you're going in the wrong direction, no matter how much good intention, no matter how much money or effort or time or expertise, you will not get there.

"Finish the fight?" There is no fight. Instead of fighting the body with Medicine, consider allowing the body to function at a higher level, to express more Life, with Chiropractic. What makes more sense, fighting disease, or promoting health?

A Good Doctor's Report... What it's worth, by Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

Yesterday, I went to a seminar at Life-West Chiropractic College. One of the speakers spoke about how she lost her father when she was three years old. At a very young age, he had a heart attack. Two weeks before, he had a "perfect doctor's report." Oops.

How many well-known atheletes, in fabulous shape, have dropped dead from heart attacks? Yet, people keep telling me "I know my body," and "I'm healthy because I feel good." Really? Were all those people, who died suddenly of a heart attack, feeling fine, healthy the day before, the week before, the month before, even several years before? When someone gets a cancer diagnosis, looking at a symptom that popped up a few weeks before, were they healthy just before that diagnosis, or that symptom?

In 42% of men, and 67% of women who have fatal heart attacks, that heart attack is the first symptom.

Are you getting the idea that a "perfect doctor's report" is of limited value? In truth, the medical doctor, well-schooled in disease, has no idea what health is.

Health is a condition of wholeness, in which every cell, tissue, organ and system is working for the benefit of the whole. (Can you see a limitation on "specialists" here?) This condition occurs when the brain and nervous system is free of vertebral subluxation, of ineterference. The only profession that deals with this, that detects, analyzes and corrects vertebral subluxation, is Chiropractic.

You get a good report here, you are doing truly well!

Holocaust Day, Lies and Vision

Today, April 7th, at sunset, until tomorrow, at sunset is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Why am I writing about this, in a chiropractic blog?

When I was growing up in the 50's, I saw President Eisenhower as a President with a nice face, who played a lot of golf. (Frankly, I wonder if, perhaps, presidents should play golf every day, and just leave us be.) Later, I learned what a remarkable general he was, as Commander of all Allied Forces in Europe during World War II. Now, I write about his incredible vision, to see what insanity might happen in the future. As the concentration camps were liberated, he ordered army photographers to take photos of the horror. He knew that some time in the future, people would say that this never happened.

What does all this have to do with health, Chiropractic, etc.? This history lesson exhibits the level of insanity for people, often whole societies, to close their eyes to terrible things, and turn them around. The numbers grow of people who insist that the Holocaust never happened. And now, many have the nerve to call Jews Nazis. Nuts! Just look at the old photos, courtesy of the wisdom of General Eisenhower.

What about health? No, we don't have an evil force to deal with here, except for the highest levels of the government health agencies (CDC, NIH, etc.) and Big Pharma. But what we have is the extreme, far-reaching, long-term failure of Medicine. Where is the health going of children, older folks and everyone in between? The Left says we need more money and more "access." We already utilize far more money than anywhere else on earth, and we have plenty of access. The Right keeps insisting that we have the best health care system in the world. Both sides are nuts. Just look at the statistics. Just look around at the people you know, friends and family. Cancer is epidemic, as are diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease, digestive disorders, stroke. All manner of mental disease is now commonplace, with horrible episodes of extreme violence making the news semi-regularly, from individuals with brains destroyed by legally prescribed psychotropic drugs. Children are sicker than ever, from constant infections to asthma to autism. Type I diabetes used to be extremely rare. Now it is not.

Open your eyes. The more medicine and surgery you get, the sicker you are. Where is the health? Where are the so-called breakthroughs? Look at the "photos"... the statistics and your real-life observations!

Look at any straight chiropractic practice, where people come in for years, for wellness. Way less meds and surgery than the general,slaved-to-Medicine population. Way less sickness. Far more happiness, function and health. Look at the "photos"... the statistics and your real-life observations!

Let's talk straight. When people say "I don't believe in Chiropractic. I trust my doctor," is that in any way rational? Look at the "photos"... the statistics and your real-life observations! Trust the photos, for therein lies the truth. What will you do with the truth?

Auto-Immune diseases... Real help, by Corte Madera chiropractor Dr. Harte

Multiple sclerosis... lupus... Hashimoto's... scleroderma... rheumatoid arthritis... psoriasis... ulcerative colitis... Type I diabetes...

What do these diseases have in common? They are all auto-immune, which means that the body is attacking its own tissue, as if it were foreign tissue. How could the body go so haywire? Well, the immune system, like every other system in the body, is controlled by the brain and the nervous system. That control can be seriously interfered with by the presence of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC)*, causing the received signals to the immune system to be either too little or too much. Either can cause dysfunction, leading to dis-ease, leading to actual and serious disease.

While people think that most disease is from lack, in actuality, most subluxation creates too much stimulation, leading to hyperactivity, such an auto-immune diseases.

What does Medicine offer for these maladies? Well, they tell you right off that there is no cure, and that they can only manage symptoms. One is depressing, and the other is downright dangerous. Besides the lesser drugs used for treating the lesser symptoms, the main drugs are either corticosteroids, which are extreme anti-inflammatories, or drugs like Humira or Enbrel which are designed to attack the immune system, or cancer chemotherapy agents. Look up the side effects of these drugs. Go ahead! The crazy thing is that they work to suppress the immune system, which can and does end up at the other end of immune system problems... CANCER. This is just plain nuts! (No, because your doctor said it's OK does not make it OK.)

What approach would make sense? How about, instead of fighting disease, you pursue health?

Chiropractic does not treat any diseases, including auto-immune diseases. We do correct interference to the nervous system, allowing the immune system to begin to function more normally. Does this sound infinitely safer? Saner? More workable? What do you think?

Many people who are very sick get defensive about their diagnosis and their specialists. This is understandable, for it is difficult to cope with the suffering that they are experiencing, and the hopelessness imparted to them by so-called "medical science." It is time to calm down and think rationally. The only real healing comes from within. Scientific, specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments allow that to happen.

Be Afraid of Fear, says Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

"Ew, I'm afraid to go to a chiropractor." "I wouldn't let a chiropractor touch my neck." "Besides, my doctor doesn't want me to go." Those readers who are chiropractic practice members appreciate the insanity of these attitudes. But the truth is, we all have to confront them all the time, if we are to get the truth of Chiropractic out to others, to help them.

Do realize that this stuff IS insanity. I don't care how sane and/or intelligent a particular person might be. If they harbor these thoughts, if they say these things, they are NUTS. I am not saying this to be nasty, or to get something off of my chest. I am saying this for your benefit, so that (1) you feel less abused, and (2) so that you'll be better able to cut through the insanity.

To those of you reading this who do harbor these thoughts, I do not apologize for my remarks. Look at it. You have no problem swallowing weird chemicals, with multiple side effects, which never get you better; they only maintain your problems. You actually believe it when your doctor gives you a new diagnosis, even relieved, even if it life-threatening. You are happy to "know what it is." OK, so now what? A diagnosis doesn't get you better. And more often than not, diagnosis is wrong. (How many times have you had multiple diagnoses from multiple specialists for the same condition?) A wrong diagnosis means that you are being treated for the wrong thing. But this folly doesn't seem to bother you, let alone frighten you.

Aspirin, which many don't even consider a drug, kills about 500 people a year, and is responsible for about 150,000 emergency hospital admissions. If you've been following my Facebook page, you'd know that recent studies show that very low levels of aspirin even increases cancer risk. What about your fancier drugs? But you're not afraid.

After some fancy imaging, you say "OK" to one more surgery, allowing people in masks to put you in a chemically induced state of near-death (general anesthesia), cut you open, and take parts out. The results are usually poor, but "the doctor said," so you're satisfied. No fear.

You see your health and your children's health deteriorate. Everywhere you look, you see someone with cancer. You see diabetes all over. You see kids with horrible diseases that hardly existed a couple of generations ago. You still have no fear.

Several years ago, depending upon one's reference, Medicine killed between 86,000 to over a million people a year. (Who knows what it is now.) If you are at all honest, you will admit that some loved one or friend was lost to medical error. No one knows anyone who died from chiropractic care. Why? The chiropractic death toll? ZERO.

People under regular, authentic chiropractic care usually don't have to "live with it." They actually get better... healthier. With no danger.

So what are people afraid of? You see now why I call this fear "Nuts?"

Get a grip. Help others to get a grip. Get adjusted. Allow your body to heal, to express more Life. That is nothing to be afraid of.

Tale of Two Very Smart Very Cool Women

Most people confine their chiropractic thinking to back and neck pain. This extends from themselves to talking to others about Chiropractic. Sure, to suffer with back or neck pain without considering Chiropractic is foolish. But to not consider Chiropractic as part of Health is foolish as well.

Today I got a call from a practice member who is relatively new, still in Initial Intensive Care. She asked me to call a neighbor of hers whose husband is facing prostate cancer surgery. I did, and I had a long talk with that neighbor. She told me that this practice member had told her that everything is controlled by the nervous system, which was "a new concept" to her. It is the basic concept of Chiropractic, which is not at all subject to debate, for it is basic biological fact. It is a simple concept, yet virtually unknown among the general public. I thought, "If everyone knew this, everyone would be under chiropractic care, as it should be." I was heartened that this practice member understood this, and was able and willing to pass this on to someone else so that a loved one could benefit. I was especially heartened that she would go so far beyond the back/neck thing, all the way to cancer.

If any of you are getting nervous or angry that that Dr. Harte is now claiming a cure for cancer, relax. I am doing no such thing. (Cancer has been a "third rail" for chiropractors. "Third rail?" That's a New York term. The third rail is the rail in the subway where the massive electric current runs to run the trains. You touch that rail, you're toast, literally. Me? I am immune to such things. I tell the truth, no matter what.) What I told the woman is that, whether her husband gets the surgery or not, whether his prostate cancer is slow or fast ("they" don't know), he will be better off with less nerve interference, Vertebral Subluxation Complex. With less nerve interference, his immune system (which protects against cancer), along with every other system, will work better. Simple. I told her, specifically, that I am not offering a cure for his cancer. She said "Good. If you did, I would run the other way as fast as I can." Smart woman.

And damn smart for considering chiropractic care for her husband when most people totally lose their minds to the much-exalted specialists.

Perhaps Chiropractic is more for thinking people.

Cancer Rats, as seen by Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

My wife's cousin just passed away from cancer. His family bragged that they got free care for being part of an experimental program. It seems that part of the agreement involved what happens to the body. I don't know about you, but this strikes me as Medicine using sick people like lab rats.

The family said that he (the cousin who just passed) was happy to be part of this experiment, "so that they might find a cure, and others might live." Admirable, but naive. How long have They been searching for The Cure, while making billions of dollars, while, in most cases, having little good effect and much bad effect?

The Cure? For cancer, like everything else, the cure is within. The medical anti-scientific fantasy is that The Cure (I am being respectful, since I capitalize their "Cure") is to be found outside the body. For Medicine, it is always Outside-in... drugs...in, surgery... in. It is never possible to find the right answer if you ask the wrong question. Cancer is a failure of the immune system. The immune system, like every system, is run by the nervous system. If there is interference to this running, it becomes impossible for the immune system to function normally. Why not restore function to the system that is supposed to protect us from cancer?

It continues to amaze me how these medical people hold out hope with various cockamamie new treatments. And then, after people die, somehow the families are grateful. I don't get it.

Oh, for those crazies who look to turn chiropractors in for whatever, please note: Chiropractic is NOT a cure for cancer. Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything.  A straight chiropractor simply corrects interference, allowing the body to function at a higher level. Simple. And it doesn't take billions of dollars either.

Is Casual Chiropractic a Menace, asks Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

Chiropractors, as a group, are a mellow lot. Some are excessively mellow, even terminally so.

I understand the feeling that chiropractors want to distance themselves from Medicine, from the formality. (Some are real medical wannabees, who might even sleep in their white coats and stethoscopes.) Yes, a chiropractor should distance himself from Medicine. More to the point, a chiropractor should be doing the detection, analysis and correction of vertebral subluxation... no more, no less. A chiropractor should NOT be doing diagnosis and treatment, which is, by definition, the practice of Medicine.

If you are paying attention to what's going on in what is alleged to be health care, you will have realized that a huge percentage of the science in Medicine is bogus, some by accident, and some purposely fraudulent. But that is no excuse for a chiropractor to be anti-science. Indeed, Chiropractic has long been defined as an art, a philosophy and a SCIENCE. With that science comes a seriousness, hopefully a passion, for the proper, lifetime correction of Vertebral Subluxation for as many people in his or her community as is humanly possible. No, this is not a War on Back Pain. This is a war on THE most serious threat to health, Vertebral Subluxation, in order to allow a fuller expression of Health, of Life.

The gravity of Vertebral Subluxation cannot be underestimated. It allows all the nasty smaller things like headache, indigestion, fatigue. It allows the really ugly things like stroke, heart attack, cancer (ew! did I violate some law mentioning "cancer" as a chiropractor?), auto-immune diseases. And it disallows the full expression of Life... physically, mentally, socially. This is especially true of subluxation in children. They are developing, growing. If they are subluxated, they cannot fully express their genetic potential. Subluxation is no simple backache issue. It is critical. Above all people, chiropractors must realize this. if they don't, they are failing in their duty to society. If a chiropractor fails to take Vertebral Subluxation seriously, that chiropractor should not be taken seriously.

"Serious" includes proper Science, Art and Philosophy. Proper science? A good history, exam, nerve scans, X-rays, with a defined schedule of care, with periodic progressive exams. Art? One or a combination of well-defined chiropractic techniques, to properly correct subluxation. Philosophy? A philosophy of life and health, understanding that healing, and health, only comes from Above-down, Inside-out.

Is casual chiropractic a menace? I think so, because it doesn't take vertebral subluxation, YOUR vertebral subluxation, YOUR health, YOUR life... seriously.

"Overdiagnosed?" asks Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

I've been reading a very interesting book, OVER-DIAGNOSED: Making people sick in the pursuit of health.

I've long talked about the futility of diagnosis itself. This book examines all the harm done by over-diagnosing, of wrongly labeling people sick with a particular disease, and causing harm by the treatment.

In my opinion, this speaks to the current clamor for MORE in so-called health care; MORE testing, more screening, MORE drugs, MORE surgery, MORE access. Perhaps this is why the USA is, by far, #1 in medical spending, and so very far down in actual health statistics. MORE is not necessarily better; it is often worse.

Drs. Welch, Schwartz and Woloshin write about how, overnight, millions became patients when lab normals for blood pressure were dropped, or blood sugar. Or when imaging studies became so good that most people have some abnormaility. Whether that alleged abnormality has any pathological significance...

Yes, they even get into the over-diagnosis of many cancers, especially breast and prostate cancer.

Things to think on.

Kentfield/Corte Madera Chiropractor Dr Harte Upon Hearing "There's nothing wrong with me!"

A common foolishness, that really gets under my skin, is when people say to me "There's nothing wrong with me. I'm healthy." They may have heart disease, diabetes, depression, constipation. They are probably taking many medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. They often walk bent over, to one degree or another, with some sort of abnormal gait. They have probably had several surgeries in the past, and may have more planned for the near future. Their day-to-day activities and capabilities are diminishing, both physically and mentally. Yet, they claim to be healthy. The craziest version of this that I have heard? "I'm healthy, except for my cancer."


Do they think that they are healthy because The Doctor told them? To quote what our mothers told us when we were kids: "If your friend told you to jump off a building, would you do that?" Well, given the absurdly dangerous drugs that The Doctor tells them to take, "jumping off a building" isn't so far-fetched. The basic problem here is that so many people have abrogated all thinking/ reasoning in the realm of "health care" to The Doctor. THINK! How can you call yourself healthy, living on dangerous chemicals on a daily basis, getting parts cut out, and losing functionality?

I look back to when my father was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 40. The Doctor told him "Don't worry, Fred. Diabetes is the healthy man's disease." Really? Is that why my father died at 53? Is that why diabetes is one of the major killers? What my father's doctor said is downright stupid. My father's acceptance of that was, also, downright stupid. Yes, you as a lay person, a non-member of the medical priesthood, have the responsibility to think for yourselves. Parents! You have the responsibility to think for your children.

So, what is health? Dorland's Medical Dictionary defines health as "a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Webster's:  "A condition of wholeness, in which all of the organs are functioning at 100%, all of the time."

How different is this from what you were lead to believe? Read these definitions again, and think on them!

So, health means 100% function. You want function? Then you need a nervous system unfettered by Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). You want that? You come see me for lifetime, wellness chiropractic care.

Dr Harte on "The Grateful Dead," Cancer and Chiropractic

Recently, I was watching a YouTube interview of an oncologist (cancer specialist) who had "gone off the reservation." In other words, he had a holistic or natural outlook. (I sent this link out on my Facebook HARTE OF HEALTH page.  Missed it? Maybe make a habit of checking out the page regularly. And please contribute to the conversation.)

If my memory serves me, his name was Dr. Gonzalez. He talked about his orthodox oncology residency at Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York. He said that the standard chemotherapy, radiation and surgery generally didn't work, so people died. (He said that doubters should hang out at the basement door in the back of the hospital where the bodies come out every day.)

Dr. Gonzalez noted a very odd thing in the attitude of surviving loved ones. Despite obvious failure, they were grateful to the doctors and the hospital. (I'd like to see someone grateful to a chiropractor when they didn't get positive results.) He said that in each room in Sloan-Kettering, some 600+ rooms, there was a plaque, "In loving memory of..." He called this phenomenon "The Grateful Dead."

Stop and think how odd it is that people not only accept but even acknowledge Medicine for stuff that clearly doesn't work. This is not only for cancer. This is equally true for people with mental disorders, heart disease, auto-immune disorders, COPD, Alzheimer's, arthritis, urinary disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, diabetes, liver disorders, severe spinal problems, etc. People commonly accept "you have to live with it," that they have to live on drugs for the rest of their lives, drugs that do not heal; they only maintain a slowly declining state of health. They love their tests. They love their diagnoses. They love their drugs. They are even proud of their surgeries, as if they cut themselves open. (This was a Japanese custom in days gone by, called "seppuku," but the intent was definitely NOT therapeutic.) And they love their hospitals, and oh, they love their doctors. When they pass away, their loved ones carry on this madness... the Grateful Dead.

How can you NOT see that Medicine, in its intent and in its practical application, does not work, and never will? (I will exempt Emergency Medicine here.) They, the MD's, the nurses, the techs, mean well, but that is not enough.

How can you not seek beyond what clearly doesn't work?

How can you not realize that only the body's own Innate Intelligence heals itself? Chiropractic corrects interference (VSC) to the expression of your Innate Intelligence, allowing you to heal, allowing your body and mind to express your potential. Perhaps this is too simple for people to understand.

If you understand this, call me. Let's set up your critical first appointment.

Is Medicine Nuts? Asks Marin Chiropractor Dr Harte, Re: HRT

“In a former British colony, most healers believed that a distillation of fluids extracted from the urine of horses, if dried to a powder and fed to aging women, could act as a general tonic, preserve youth, and ward off a variety of diseases. The preparation became enormously popular throughout the culture, and was widely used by older women in all strata of society. Many years later, modern scientific studies revealed that the long-term ingestion of the horse-urine extract was useless for most of its intended purposes, and that it cause tumors, blood clots, heart disease, and perhaps, brain damage.


The ‘former colony’ is the United States.”


- Jerry Avorn, M.D.


Yes, this is the sad and STUPID story of Medicine's love affair with HRT. Based upon nothing, these alleged scientists told menopausal women to take HRT to keep them young, and to prevent heart attack, stroke and cancer. Oops. HRT ended up causing heart attack, stroke and cancer.


You mess with Mother Nature, you pay a price.


Why do you still BELIEVE?


It it time to shift your belief to the power and intelligence within your body... your Innate Intelligence. This is what Chiropractic works with. We add nothing (drugs). We take nothing away (surgery). We simply correct interference to the expression of your Innate Intelligence.

Dr Harte Tells of ANOTHER Perfect Medical Storm in Novato

Some weeks ago, I ran into a woman who looked only in her 50's, who was walking unsteadily, using a cane. I introduced myself, and offered my assistance as a chiropractor.

"I know what's wrong with me," she said firmly. "I have multiple sclerosis." I said "So?," and began to explain how the body really works, that everything is controlled and coordinated by the brain and the nervous system. In the case of MS, this is one of those nasty auto-immune diseases,. which means that the immune system is way overactive, so overactive that it attacks the body's own tissues as if they belonged to someone else. In the case of MS, it is the sheaths on the nerves that are attacked. (NOTE: These nerve sheaths are composed primarily of cholesterol. Something to think about.) I explained that if interference to the proper functioning of the nervous system, Vertebral Subluxation Complex, were corrected through chiropractic adjustment, the immune system would have the opportunity to begin to function more normally.

Simple, but too complex for this unfortunately medically obsessed woman.

The tale she told was a medical nightmare... a perfect medical storm. years ago, she was prescribed HRT, hormone replacement therapy. This was hawked by the medical fools for 40 years, telling women that taking hormones will keep them young, and will prevent heart attack, stroke and cancer. In 2002, the study came out, revealing that the truth was exactly the opposite. Instead of preventing these things, HRT CAUSED these things. Now I had been warning women against HRT since I have been in practice, in 1981, way before this 2002 study. How did I know? Biological common sense, something that just about doesn't exist in the field of Medicine. Ask me for the details.

Anyway, from the HRT, this woman developed breast cancer. From the radiation treatment for the breast cancer, she developed the MS. And from the drugs she is currently taking for the MS, designed to attack the overactive immune system, she will likely (I am sorry to say) get some new cancer. Cancer is the result of a hypoactive, a low-functioning immune system. And on it goes.

No matter the suffering, the string of abject failures, the absurdity, she still believes. She is a true Medical Cultist. To those of you who may be in this category, I ask to to think, and to reason. I ask you to consider that Outside-in medical thinking is medieval, and wrong. I ask you to consider that health only comes from Above-down, Inside-out.

Faith in Medicine, faith in your doctor, will not heal you or save you. Only your own Innate Intelligence can do that.

If I have opened some crack in your medical prejudices, call me and register for our HUNGRY FOR HEALTH? Dinner Talk on Tuesday, Nov. 1st at 7 PM. 460-6527.

Nurses' Strike? What About Drs? Asks Marin Chiropractor Dr Harte

A huge news story is being made of the fill-in nurse (because of the nurses' strike) who made a medication mistake, and the patient died. Yes, this is a tragedy, when someone dies from a medical mistake, but THIS IS NOT NEWS.

People die from medical care, some "mistakes" and some "properly administered," every day. Some years ago, at the National Press Club, David Lawrence, M.D., then CEO of Kaiser Permanente, said that Medicine is the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer. He put the death toll, in this country alone, at 400,000 a year. That's 1,096 people a day, which is like three jumbo jets falling out of the sky and killing everyone... every day.

Yet people continue to trust their doctor, their specialist, their tests, their procedures, their drugs, their diagnosis. Why? The really crazy thing is that most fail to look elsewhere, like to real health care (Medicine is, in reality, disease care)... Chiropractic.

Some years ago, there were doctors' strikes in Israel and in France. Guess what happened? THE DEATH RATE WENT DOWN!!!


Time to rethink things?

Marin Chiropractor Dr Harte asks "When Do You Need Chiropractic?"

One of my practice members is struggling with an ugly case of leukemia. I wish that she had began care here years ago.

Before the Chiropractic Board police and assorted medical cultists get their allopathic noses out of joint (nothing worse than a subluxated nose, is there?), I am not making a claim that chiropractic care prevents cancer, or fights cancer. (I will leave it to the medical boys and girls to make unfounded claims.) What I am saying is that the body will function better, including resisting disease, if its nervous system is free from subluxation. If parts get the right message, they can do the right thing. If not... This is why you get adjusted. Pain relief is only a nice side effect.

Cancer generally takes years, often decades to develop. It is a long-term failure of your immune system. If your immune system gets a compromised message, how can it function properly? You can look for all the secondary triggers in the world. Get the immune system right, and the chances of cancer fade.

So, how do you know, years in advance, if you are going to get leukemia or any other kind of cancer? You don't. Just like you don't know if you are going to get a stroke or a heart attack of some weird auto-immune disease. Prevention is not Medicine's version, "early detection." There, you are already sick. How about you don't get sick?

You do lifetime wellness chiropractic care because it allows your body and mind to express Life. Simple. If you want to be looked at really weirdly, we can do a take-off from all the drug commercials. next time you go in for a medical visit, ask the doctor "if Life is right for you." He or she might suggest an anti-psychotic. Oh, well...

Dr Harte, Marin Chiropractor, Quotes Sherlock Holmes

"One's ideas must be as broad as nature if they are to interpret nature."  - Sherlock Holmes from "A Study in Scarlet"

Yes, I know the famous detective is a fictional character. But read the words again, and think on them.

Most people's deepest thoughts about so-called health care is whatever is accepted by Medicine currently... the current fads. There is no questioning, really. Oh, there may be doubts, anguish or anger about one particular doctor or another. But almost no one questions the way that Medicine works... its intents... its philosophy. And almost no one questions Medicine's safety. It is time to wake up and think!

Safety? Dr. David Lawrence, former CEO of Kaiser Permanente, said that Medicine was the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer. 400,000 a year.

What is the philosophy of Medicine. It is Outside-in... drugs and surgery. When you really dare to interpret that Philosophy, you must come to the conclusion that their (Medicine's) core belief if that we are born with a deficiency of drugs and an excess of organs.

You wand a broader view of nature? You want something that makes sense. Chiropractic understands that Health comes from Above-down, Inside-out. We correct interference, and get out of the way.

Marin Chiropractor: After the Blood... What to do After a Car Accident

Virtually everyone has been in a car accident. Could have been recently, last year, 15 years ago, or when you were a child. The bottom line is that, in almost every case, massive Vertebral Subluxation Complex occurs from the tons of force exerted on your body in milliseconds from an auto accident.

I know that many say, "But it was just a fender-bender. I didn't get hurt." Some may have been "checked" by an MD or at the hospital and pronounced OK. Hey, if you have fractures, massive bleeding, etc., a hospital can save your life. But they know NOTHING of vertebral subluxation.

Anything beyond a parking lot kiss of bumpers will subluxate you. Remember that most subluxations have no pain or any other symptoms. Only a competent chiropractor can determine if you are subluxated. If you are, pain or not, your health is seriously compromised. Until you are adjusted, your health remains in jeopardy.

"Oh, it was so many years ago." So? For all those years, you have had a compromised nervous system. Perhaps, in that time, you have had gout, or depression, or cancer. Has anyone dealt with the CAUSE? And spinewise, being subluxated for many years leads to subluxation, what others call "spinal arthritis." No, this is not from getting old. It is from your subluxations getting old. So get them corrected.

Whooping Cough vs. Marin Chiropractor

Seems like the media is finally picking up on what the people, especially in Marin, have already figured out. People are now questioning vaccination, and, specifically, the new requirement for 7th through 12th graders to get one more "whooping cough" booster shot.

I put whooping cough in quotations because the shot is actually a newer version of the old DPT shot, now called DTaP. The "D" standing for diphtheria. Where would anyone get diphtheria. Why is it in the vaccine? What about tetanus? The vaccine is pushed as a "whooping cough" shot because that is the particular campaign of fear being presented.

Nobody is mentioning that this is a booster shot., that the kids have already had several DPT shots. (Doesn't this prove that the promised immunity is not what was promised?)

The "authorities" deny any connection of serial vaccination with skyrocketing rates of autism, learning disabilities, childhood cancers, asthma, juvenile diabetes and arthritis, etc. They produce no plausible evidence to other causation. How can they justify dosing kids with known toxic substances, including mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, etc.? I tried to teach them at the 8/10 meeting of the Marin County Board of Supervisors.

These same authorities have come up with bogus scenarios, regarding other vaccines before, such as Guardisil
and the annual flu vaccine extravaganza.

When will more people wake up, and make better decisions for their kids?

As I said in my recent KTVU interview (which was edited out), "You cannot poison kids to health." I went on to say that rather than focusing on fighting disease, we should focus on fostering health. That includes regular wellness chiropractic care, so important for the developing minds and bodies of children.

Corte Madera Chiropractor Explains CANCER AND CHIROPRACTIC

I know that this is forbidden territory, "touching the third rail" of Chiropractic. I really don't care. I am here to spread the truth about the body's Innate Intelligence, and what Chiropractic is really about.

No, this is not a "claim" that Chiropractic cures cancer. Chiropractic doesn't cure anything, not even back pain. Chiropractors adjust to correct CAUSE, allowing the body to heal.

Should current cancer patients be under chiropractic care? YES!

Should "cancer survivors" be under chiropractic care? YES!

Should those who may get cancer in the future gert chiropractic care? YES!!!

Well, that just about covers everybody, doesn't it?

I know what you're thinking. "What could Chiropractic possibly have to do with cancer?" This confusion is not your fault. Fault lays at the feet of all of those chiropractors who treat simple back pain, using every gimmick in the book, without regard to health, not bothering to tell the Chiropractic Story. They are more interested in what the insurance companies will pay for.

Cancer is a long-term failure of the immune system. We all have cells that go nuts, and multiply at the expense of healthy cells... cancer. A healthy immune system, directed by a healthy nervous system, will find those cells and kill them, so that they do not develop in cancer as an actual disease.

If there is subluxation, interference to the immune system (this subluxation probably wouldn't hurt), the immune system can fall down on the job, allowing cancer to manifest. What if that subluxation is corrected? Won't that give the immune system a better opportunity to prevent cancer, or deal with cancer if it is there?

No, I am not telling people not to get medical treatment for cancer. That is a medical decision, which is yours alone. Whatever course you do take, will you be better off with less nerve interference? Might that increase your chances?

If you are a "cancer survivor," I am glad that your cancer has been successfully treated. BUT... what has not been attended to is WHY you got the cancer. So, it is important for you to get adjusted, allowing your immune system to function better.

If you are interested in NOT GETTING CANCER, might it be a good idea to do what you can to allow your immune system to function at its best?

One of our practice members is experiencing a relapse of a nasty form of leukemia. What if she came to me, or someone like me, 15, 20 years ago? I hope and pray that her immune system will come to the rescue in time. I am working as hard as I can, correcting her subluxations. That is all that I can do, but that alone is much. It is noteworthy that this fine, brave lady understands this.

What are YOUR thoughts?

Health Fascism in Massachusetts

Friday, the Health Nazis won a major victory.

A mother of an autistic boy, dying of cancer, decided that enough was enough with his chemotherapy. Her son died in 2009. She was convicted of attempted murder, and other lesser charges, and sentenced to prison last Friday.

What of other parents who consent to medical treatment that kills their children? Should they be accused of attempted murder? What about the doctors involved?

The Health Nazis will explain that its for the good of the child. Yes, Big Brother always acts for our benefit, doesn't he? Just like he mandates vaccinations for children that are clearly neurotoxic, that are clearly the cause of autism, Type I diabetes, juvenile arthritis, asthma and a host of other disorders on an epidemic level.

Who is Big Brother and the Health Nazis? They represent a false science, fueled by the blood-stained billions of Big Pharma, which have bought both parties. They represent the belief that government knows what's good for you and for your children. Last Friday's barbaric verdict makes it plain that They will do anything to enforce their pseudo-science.

Where is choice? Actually, I prefer the old-fashioned word... liberty. Where is liberty?

Stand up and say "No!" I've been spitting in the eye of medical and pseudo-chiropractic fascism for a long time.

Who is John Galt?
