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!

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?

Die for your Diagnosis?

"Some people would rather die, diagnosed, than get well, undiagnosed."  Fred Barge, D.C.

What does this mean?

Amongst people who are seriously and chronically ill, who don't fit in the usual, neat medical categories, they tend to get lost in tests. An unending series of tests, from one specialist to the other. When I offer my help, they often respond, "I just have to know what's going on." really?

In Chiropractic, we do not diagnose, nor do we treat. We look to the cause, Vertebral Subluxation, and correct that cause, allowing the body to heal itself. The body, unhindered, will diagnose and treat.

A body with a freer nervous system will tend to be healthier. Simple. Without diagnosis.
