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!

Does This Make Heart Disease Better, asks Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

Here's a popular heart drug, Verapamil, specifically for the treatment of high blood pressure and angina. Check out those side effects. Note that some of those side effects listed show that the drug can make the heart worse, even TERMINALLY so, as in dead. Huh? Yes. This is what is called in Medicine a "paradoxical effect," the opposite of what one expects.

Well, when you try to just suppress symptoms, instead of correcting the cause (as Chiropractic does), you're going to run into problems
