my name is mary sims and i live in lynchburg, virginia. i am a legit person... not an advertisement.. sorry to have led people to think that...
i am just so excited and thrilled with what chiropractic has done for me and my body that i want to give other people the info that i have.. so that if they wish.. they can participate in something other than the regular medical/pharmacuetical route.
after reading some of the posts you can definately see those who have a strong medical background and by no means did i mean to put down or take away from the traditional ideals. BUT i do believe that there are other options that i personally believe are more beneficial than drugs and surgery..etc..
and as for chiropractors not being qualified... they have 181 more credit hours in their doctorate program than medical doctors. the only thing that medical doctors have that chiropractors dont is pharmeceuticals. i know this is true for palmer chiropractic college. now saying that, there are alot of chiropractors ( just like there are medical doctors) who are out there and do not practice CORRECTLY or with the philosophy that they should... but i hope that people wouldnt be completely brain washed to think that chiropractors are ALL bad. i am VERY PICKY about my chiropractic care and when i am referring my friends and family i call every single one in their town and make sure that they are the type of chiropractor that believes in true chiropractic philosophy. you cant just open up the phone book and say ... that one looks good. would you do that with your medical doctor?? i hope not.
now.... for the "cure all" questions...
chiropractic does NOT CURE ANYTHING... what it does is allow your body to be at its highest potential so that you can let your own body do the healing. Do you think God created us without the ability to be able to heal ourselves? no. the problem is, is that we fill our bodies with so many toxins that are unnecessary that our body is so busy fighting those off, that it cant even worry about the other problems..like a common cold...or in my case, kidney failure. once i allowed my spine to heal in the best it could..my nervous system was allowed to do its job.
Do i think that chiropractic should be the only health care? NO!
There are most certainly times and most certainly people who ARE specialist...just like chiropractors with the spine and nervous system. if im in a car wreck and my arm is falling off... i wont say... TAKE ME TO THE CHIROPRACTOR! lol... im not ignorant. and there are times for medication... if your body is in such a state that it cannot survive without outside help.
BUT! I do believe that if a mother is under chiropractic care while pregnant and her child is then adjusted from birth.. that child will not have to worry about sickness and disease like every one else... why do i believe that... because i see it everyday.. and it NEVER FAILES. yes they sometimes get a little cold or fever... but those things are natural and our bodies are not sick proof.
and as for those people who have had or have heard of bad experiences with the chiropractor i am very very sorry.. it happens and unfortunately it seems like it happens alot more ( or is anounced more) with chiropractic. its an easy way to misinform people and make money... i see it everyday and its a shame.
but what i do hope that people can understand is... chiropractic can help! its a simple philosophy and should not be twisted. my puppy is 1 pound 3 oz. and he gets adjusted everyday and it does not hurt..it does not scare him..and i hope that you can find a chiropractor that u trust and that will give you all the information that you need to make your own decision!
whatever health care decision you decide.. its the best one...because you took the time to make it.. and you care enough about your baby to want what YOU think is best. do some research and find what you believe in. if anyone has ANY QUESTIONS... contact me... ill even give you my phone number. i always want to spread the news about what literally saved my life. thanks for reading. |
