Some "Quick Facts and Science" on Chiropractic

A recent study proved that Chiropractic adjustments increase immune cell counts 48% in AIDS patients. (Chiropractic Research Journal, 1994; 3(1)) Another study by Ronald Pero, Ph.D. Chief of cancer prevention at NY Med. Institute found that "Chiropractic patients had a 200% greater immuno-competance than non-chiropractic patients." Simply put, Chiropractic patients have a more effective immune system!!!

180,000 deaths result each year as the result of iatrogenic injury (Drug side effects and medical negligence.) That is the equivalent of 3 jumbo jet crashes every 2 days! You would hear about that in the papers.( Lucien Leape M.D., Harvard, J. Amer. Med. Assoc. Dec.1994)

A new study of 332 children showed that Chiropractic care is the most effective treatment for EAR INFECTIONS. The study showed that children with histories of chronic ear infections under chiropractic care for 6 months had No More Infections in 80% of the cases. Chiropractic adjustments help the ear to properly drain and stimulate the immune system. With the cold and flu season coming, isn't it time to get the kids checked for subluxations to prevent ear infections from occurring? ( JCCP, Vol. 2, No. 2 1997)

That's $3 BILLION more spent on side effects than the drugs in the first place!!!! Better health through better chemistry has FAILED miserably!

Tylenol use kills more people per year than cocaine!

Studies show a spine with optimum alignment is up to 16 times stronger than a subluxated spine

Loss of the healthy cervical (neck) curve stretches the spinal cord 5-7 cm and causes serious nerve interference

The possible signals jumping across the synapses of the brain exceeds the number of atoms in the known universe

Studies show that only 10% of our nervous system perceives pain. The other 90% is for health

Subluxations causing nerve pressure equivalent to the weight of a nickel on your hand reduce the nerve impulses by 60%

One cubic inch of brain cortex contains over 10,000 miles of connecting tissue

Your arteries and veins would stretch out over 12,000 miles if the we laid out in a straight line

Chiropractic has been shown to boost immunity by an average of 200% for patients in wellness care
