A new book entitled, Future Youth, How To Reverse The Aging Process, has just been published by Prevention Magazine Health Books. In "Part One -- Feeling Better" in a section called "A Better Back", Prevention Magazine discusses "The Chiropractor." We are found after the allopaths in a sub-section entitled, "Practitioners Who Are Not Medical Doctors."
This is what is presented:
The Chiropractor. People seeing chiropractors re- ported relief in some form (either dramatic long- term, moderate long-term or temporary) in 56 per- cent of all cases. Chiropractors were judged ineffective by 33 percent of their patients, and they made 11 percent feel worse. Some points to be care- ful about regarding chiropractors:
It is perfectly obvious that Prevention Magazine had to ignore an immense amount of information regarding chiropractic in order to print this manure.
This is from the people who are supposedly pro-health and anti-drug!?!? Can it be that the medical establishment has "purchased" Prevention Magazine and is slowly re-defining health to fit its own model?
The only way to combat this kind of propaganda is with action!
You must take the time (and ask you patients while they are in the waiting room to take the time) to let Prevention Magazine know just how disgusting and insulting this is!
If you are a subscriber to Prevention Magazine or a purchaser of Rodale Books, you should let them know you are one of the people who keeps them in business!

Do it now. Do it for chiropractic!
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
