INITIAL OR PAIN RELIEF CARE?

Manga Report - 1993 - Commissioned by the government of Ontario, Canada - Leading health economists find that Chiropractic management is superior to medical management for patients with low-back pain in terms of safety, scientific evidence of effectiveness, evidence of cost-effectiveness and last but not least - patient satisfaction.

Eisenberg Study - Harvard Medical School - Published - New England Journal of Medicine, 1994 - 130 million more visits were made to alternative health care practitioners than family doctors and internists combined. The number one condition for which patients sought care was back pain.

HEALTH RELATED ISSUES?

University of Calgary Study - Dr. Dean Befus, M.D. - The Edmonton Journal. Research team discovers a pathway between the nervous system and the immune system that may have broad implications for prevention and treatment of disease. And since the nervous system has been shown to affect the body's immune responses, it seems clear that keeping the spinal column and nervous system healthy is important to fend off disease.

A comparative Study of the Health Status of Children Raised Under the Health Care Models of Chiropractic and Allopathic Medicine - van Breda and van Breda - Journal of Chiropractic Research, Summer 1989 - 200 children of Chiropractors and 200 children of Pediatricians were studied. The Chiropractic children showed a 69% otitis media (ear infections) free response, while the Pediatricians' children had only a 20% otitis media free response. The occurrence of infectious diseases was significantly less among the Chiropractic children. Many Chiropractors reported that their children had never been on antibiotics.

REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL

Chiropractic Research Journal - 1994 - The researchers of this project demonstrated that upper cervical adjustments had an effect on the immune system. A 48% increase in CD4 cell counts (white blood cells that help fight infections) of HIV positive individuals was measured over the six month duration of the study for the group of patients adjusted by Chiropractors versus the non-adjusted HIV positive patients.

Healing and the Mind - Bill Moyers, David Felton, M.D., Ph.D., Suzanne Felton, Ph.D. - "We discovered nerve fibres going into virtually every organ of the immune system and forming direct contacts with the immune system. We found that if you took the nerves away from the spleen and the lymph nodes, you virtually stopped immune responses in their tracks.
