The Coming Plague is Here!

Lorie Garrett's book, The Coming Plague reads like a medical thriller. Her work covers the history and status of ancient diseases such as bubonic plague and cholera as well as newcomers such as Ebola and AIDS. Garrett has a degree in biochemistry and studied immunology in a Ph.D. program at the University of California at Berkeley. Her conclusions reflect that modern medicine has caused the advanced evolution of the bacterial work to the point of reintroducing plague-like conditions.

Anyone who has children today has either had personal experience with or knows someone who has had, "those ear infections that just keep coming back or those bronchial infections and strep throat that won't go away". First, you get the pink liquid stuff and then you move onto the next stronger stuff until you're in the realm of the "sulfa drugs", that is if you're not allergic to them. Ms. Garrett states that "Human behavior is what lets a bad bug go ballistic." The time has come when we must evaluate what parts do we play?

Dr. Alexander Flemming discovered penicillin in 1928. Even then he know there were strains of bacteria that were resistant to drug therapy and warned the medical world to use caution in dispensing this new "Miracle Drug". With the TOTAL NUMBER OF ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIPTIONS DISPENSED IN 1996 BEING 282,631,000 it would appear that we have not heeded his advice.

Why do we continue to demand drugs that are doing so much harm to our children and the general public? That is a question each of us must ask ourselves, and then ask how can I, just one person, just one family, make a difference? The answer is simple yet very powerful!

Bacteria are always present in the body; some are good and some are bad. If the bad bacteria outnumber the good bacteria and your immune system is compromised, you get an infection or get sick. As bacteria are attacked in the body (by antibiotics) the stronger bacteria mutate and become resistant to the antibiotics. Some of the weaker bacteria are killed by the drugs. You may begin to feel better even though your body still harbors the stronger mutated bugs. The cycle is destined to repeat itself if you become susceptible again (overtired, stressed, busy, subluxated). The problem is, this time the medication you took last time is ineffective because the bacteria have mutated! Bacteria multiply at a rate of 16,777,220 per day. Stronger strains are created as a result until we run out of antibiotics to use. This brings us to where we are today. Resistant strains exist all over the planet!

Now there does exist another path! Imagine an army of defenders inside your body geared up for battle, ready and waiting. This army is not only capable of defending against invaders but gets stronger and gains experience as the battle rages on, ultimately succeeding in defeating the enemy. Seem unlikely? In a study done with 200 Pediatricians' and 200 Chiropractors' children, here are the statistics. The Chiropractors reported no episodes of otitis media (ear infections) in 79% of their children as opposed to the pediatricians reporting no episodes of otitis media in only 29% of their children. These statistics are amazing and only represent a small portion of the study. What do you think the difference is?

Your immune system, fully functional, is your army of defenders. In a body free of nerve interference the brain and nerve system act as the Command Post, allowing you the opportunity for a healthier, drug free life. Not only do you get to experience your fullest health potential, you won't contribute to The Coming Plague. Isn't it time you discovered the bigger vision of Chiropractic and its meaning beyond the relief of symptoms for your family?
