THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE: Vol. I, No. 26

THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE

THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE


There are two sides in health care... allopathic vs. vitalistic. What do these terms mean?

Why should we care? Because whichever side your doctor is on will determine, fundamentally, how he or she sees things, and so, how he or she cares for you. The methods, the intent, and the results, will be oceans apart.

Who is on the allopathic side? Medicine, of course. Plus, the whole PMG (Pharmaceutical-Medical-Governmental) Complex. Who else? Just about all of what is referred to as natural, alternative or integrative Medicine. Why? They are still diagnosing (in their own particular ways) and treating whatever they think is wrong, which is, by definition, the practice of Medicine.

Who else is on the allopathic side? Sadly, most chiropractors. At our recent "One Flu Over the Duck's Nest" event, we celebrated the 113th birthday of Chiropractic, and the 90th anniversary of chiropractors saving tens of thousands of lives during the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918. So many chiropractors have lost the Way since then. Most aren't into saving lives (which is why you never heard anything about the Big Idea in their offices, maybe never even heard the term "Vertebral Subluxation"). At most, they are into saving sciaticas and stiff necks. They, unbeknownst to them, have become bottles of Advil in human form. They diagnose pain and related musculoskeletal conditions, and then, they treat those conditions. They will use all kinds of weird, non-chiropractic things, while the specific chiropractic adjustment decays to crude manipulation. They have joined the allopathic side; they have given up serving people and saving people through Chiropractic. To have people better express their genetic potential, to help build a better world of non-subluxated "bright light bulbs," isn't even on their radar screen. Perhaps the only significant thing on their radar screen is the extent if your insurance coverage. Sad.

So, who represents vitalism? There is only one profession, or, rather, one part of one profession, that is vitalistic. Chiropractors neither diagnose nor treat. Chiropractic embraces the truth that healing does not, cannot, come from Outside-in... pills, surgery, etc. We understand the vitalistic concept that health and healing comes only from Above-down, Inside-out. We are not the healers, and we tell you so. By the removal of interference to the expression of your Innate Intelligence, via the chiropractic adjustment, your Innate Intelligence figures out what to do. It does the diagnosing and the treating. Simple.

Yes, the methods are different. The medical doctor seeks to attack disease. With increasing frequency, they also prescribe powerful drugs to "keep you healthy" and/or to "prevent disease," kind of like taking nutritional supplements. Then come the side effects. Health never comes from this path. This path makes no sense to me. However, medicine is handy for immediate, life-threatening situations. Please do not show up at my office with a heart attack or a gunshot wound.

The allopathic chiropractor seeks to relieve back pain. He or she will use whatever means available (and insurance-reimbursable) to attempt to relieve that pain... electrical stimulation, hot packs, cold packs, cold laser, spinal decompression tables, rub-a-dub pain goo, etc. Yes, some of this does tend to reduce pain. But, all of this misses the whole point of Chiropractic, to detect, analyze and remove Vertebral Subluxation, allowing the body to heal, to express itself more fully.

Intent? One side attacks disease. The other side allows health. One is arrogant. The other is humble.

Results? Medicine is responsible for between 98,000 and 1,000,000 deaths a year in this country, depending upon your source. Frankly, I think the true figure is much higher. Chiropractic kills... well... nobody. Medicine covers up symptoms and "manages" chronic disease so that you can "live with it." In chiropractic offices, we see the "medically impossible" get well every day.

Is that enough fundamental difference?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

(The correct answer will be found at the end of this ezine.)

Why does a good chiropractor take X-rays and neurological scans?
 
Why do many chiropractors not...?



SITTING/STANDING THOUGHTS

(This quote will also be found in the office this week, tacked onto opposite walls of the rest room.)

"One's ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature."

Special announcements, schedule changes, etc.:

Check out our newly done business cards:

On the front panel (there are eight panels... a lot of important info), it begins with "From the Inside Out... Reinvent Your Health" Think about it. Isn't that what we do here? It's a far cry from those very limited neck-and-back chiropractors. Lives change here!

Also on the front is our new name, "The Harte of Chiropractic, Prof. Corp," with our new slogan, "Where Chiropractic Lives, So You Live Better!TM"

Panels 2 and 3, showing how we view the two parts of subluxation, X-rays and the subluxation station neurological scans (which, sadly, most chiropractors don't bother to do), remains the same.

Panel 4, "Why Chiropractic,?" is changed, with quotes from Thomas Edison and D.D. Palmer. The next panel lists all the types of people who need Chiropractic. Read it. You will not be surprised that it includes, well, everybody.

Panel 7 begins with "What will you do now?" This will encourage those you give the card to to do something. And, it has a photo of me now, so they won't be totally confused by the official hundred-year photo on the front.

The last panel begins with "Scientific, Straight Chiropractic." Just so you know, "Straight Chiropractic" is what we do here. It refers to real Chiropractic, recognizing that it is Innate Intelligence that runs the body, and that the chiropractor merely removes the interference. A chiropractor is "straight" when he or she is humble enough to realize that that Innate Intelligence is perfect, and needs no help, just no interference. Therefore, we would never dream of "mixing" Chiropractic with non-chiropractic things like electrical stimulation, cold lasers, modernized medieval racks, various rub-on goo, etc. Besides, that stuff is all treatment/pain relief, which misses the point.

ANSWER TO THE "QUESTION OF THE WEEK":

Q: Why does a good chiropractor take X-rays and neurological scans?
 

Why do many chiropractors not...?

A: Vertebral Subluxation is really two parts (though there are five components). There is the anatomical component, vertebrae misaligned. That is why we take X-rays. The other part is a loss of proper function... impaired physiology.. of the nervous system, which runs everything else. This is why we do the neurological scans, one measuring the physiology of the motor system (brain to muscles), and the other measuring the physiology of the autonomic system (brain to organs, systems). The colors that you see are essentially stains upon the proper functioning of your nervous system, and, therefore, your whole body, your health.

Why don't all chiropractors do this? I'd ask them. This is pretty basic. Do not be fooled by someone saying "my chiropractor can feel my problem." If I were you, I'd insist upon a chiropractor who was scientific. It is your nervous system, your health, your life.



THANK YOU!!!!!!!!


Thank you to the following Practice Members who have cared enough to go out of their way to refer people to this office, and for those who live distantly, to hook them up with chiropractors where they live.





THE MISSION

My mission: To create and offer the highest quality chiropractic care, and to educate people to understand and appreciate Vertebral Subluxation-Centered Chiropractic as the most critical part of Health. This will, in time, help to move Chiropractic to its proper place in society, as Health Care, leading to better Health, better lives, and, ultimately, a fuller expression of the genetic potential of individuals, of families, of the human species.

YOUR MISSION:
· Read the HARTE OF HEALTH, and enjoy, which will further underline the importance of continuing chiropractic care
· Use the HARTE OF HEALTH as an intellectual and emotional tool, to further think for yourself, and question both standard "medical wisdom" and the latest "medical advances."
· Forward the HARTE OF HEALTH to people you know who have particular health challenges, or their children have particular health challenges, whether that challenge be the "chiropractic-typical," like sciatica, neck pain, knee pain, or diseases and conditions from multiple sclerosis to depression to diabetes to ADHD to GERD to chronic infections to vertigo to heart disease to insomnia and chronic fatigue. They are all better off with less VSC, less interference, more health.
· Forward the HARTE OF HEALTH to everyone else you know. Obvious health problems or not, whether they live here in the Bay Area, or they live half way around the world, they all need to hear this message. Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 20 would be even better.
This issue especially, please forward on to every parent and grandparent who you know. Kids will be way better off with a lot less drugs, and a lot more chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Today…
for a Better World Tomorrow!
