I'll show you cheap

I love all the attention that is being paid to how much we, as Americans, are spending on healthcare. Finally, the wasteful and unproven b.s.-ery that occcupies "healthcare" will be examined.

Why am I so happy about it?

Because chiropractic kicks ass, thats why. Even the most flat-earth, pill-popping, pin-headed, technophilic people out there must bow to our numbers.

What numbers?

I'm glad you asked.

An insurance company looked at people over age 75 and compared people who get adjusted with those who do not. The result? People getting adjusted reported less time in hospitals (21%) used fewer drugs, better overall health, and were more active than those who did not.

Another company surveyed people who had been using chiropractic care for more than 5 years. It turns out they spent 31% less than the national average for health services. That is a very big, very significant number.

In a study of more tan 2818 respondents a strong connection was found between those persons getting adjusted and a higher quality-of-life. So much so that 99% of the persons surveyed wanted to continue care.

Going to the doctor for costly, unproven, dangerous emergency care is a fools game, and always has been. It is time for the medical model of better living through better chemistry as the mainstream method of choice to be put where it belongs.

In the trash.
