Scaring Old Folks by Marin chiropractor Dr Harte

The object of abject trust by most older people is Medicine... "my doctor," "my specialist(s)," "my tests," "my condition," "my medications," "my surgeries." All of these, imbued with such a level of faith that it borders on worship. It far surpasses any reasonable degree of common sense.

The sad, and sick fact is that this trust is maintained and constantly improved, on both an individual and societal basis, by FEAR. The white coated demigod waves that finger... "If you don't follow what I say..." "If you don't increase your medications..." "If you don't have this surgery, immediately..." various terrible things will happen. There is no mention of what terrible things might happen from all this medical intervention.

Diseases are invented upon blatantly bogus research designed to sell drugs. When the side effects come around, well, there's more disease to treat! "Normals" are in a state of flux, declaring that virtually everyone is  sick. Probably the best example is the imposition of teenage blood pressure normals upon people in their 70's, 80's and beyond. Physiologically absurd! But it declares more and more to be sick, and thus in need of lifetime medication and testing.

My wife and I just visited her aunt in southern California. (This is NOT a debulitated woman.) My wife invited her to come visit us, but she was afraid. Why? Because she was afraid of "being away from her doctor." And her doctor told her that, because she had atrial fibrillation, flying was risky. Where do these clowns get this stuff? And how much is atrial fibrillation over-diagnosed? And how much real atrial fibrillation caused by medications?

In Chiropractic, we teach hope. we teach that the body, at any age, has the ability to heal itself and to maintain itself in a high state of function. We correct Vertebral Subluxation, interference to proper function, allowing the body to correct, even re-create itself. Even at 70, or 80, or 90. We see older people, who have been scared into limited lives, into living on multiple dangerous meds, into submitting to risky surgeries, begin to re-create themselves, begin to get healthy, way beyond what they thought was possible.

Do you want fear, or do you want hope? You have that choice at any age. If you prefer hope, choose Chiropractic.
