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.

Dr Harte, Corte Madera Chiropractor Offers Science Instead of Myth

In his 1957 classic, "Evolution or Revolution," Dr. B.J. Palmer, "The Developer of Chiropractic" (son of the founder, Dr. D.D. Palmer), wrote about the ORIGIN of where Medicine, and most other people, think disease comes from, and what to do about it:

"The external invasions of evil spirits, exorcising demons, witchcraft, driving out demons, from tom-toms and superstitious incantations - all of which was from OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARDS;
- to compulsory vaccinations, inoculations, injections; 
- to chemicals -same old OUTSIDE-IN, BELOW-UPWARDS -whatever the method used, savages or medical men, in their attempt to restore health, to force health and life IN from the OUTSIDE, to force sickness and death OUT from the INSIDE, the APPROACH WAS ALWAYS THE SAME.


"When the microscope came, they saw smaller animals then they knoew: microbes, germs, parasites... "


You get the idea. I've been explaining, for many years, that "Modern Medicine" is based upon a medieval concept. All the research, the tests, the diagnoses, the treatments, despite their modern and scientific "clothing," are all medieval in concept. Back in the middle ages, when you "fell from grace," evil spirits could enter your body (OUTSIDE-IN) to make you sick. When someone sneezes, where to you think the custom of saying "G-d bless you" came from?

Chiropractic is based upon unassailable scientific fact. The nervous system runs every system, organ, tissue and cell in the body. Interfere with that running... Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC)... and you've got problems... a LACK OF HEALTH. Correct that CAUSE, and you will heal and function better. Simple!

"But I have fulminating scungosis." (I made that diagnosis us. I KNOW my diagnoses are bogus.) So? Your own Innate Intelligence will diagnose you and treat you, far better than any doctor, or all of the doctors of all types put together... unless you have interference.

I know that this sounds strange, radical, maybe off-the-wall. Regardless, this is the truth. Yes, Chiropractic is far more scientific than Medicine will ever be.
