Dr. Berg, We're all with you on that topic. It's amazing that MDs would panic at DCs providing that kind of educational recommendations...don't these folks read? Most of the leading diseases that kill are solidly lifestyle-related. This Texas posting should be spoon fed to every DC who dreams of becoming an extended practitioner. Medicine will never willingly hand over their prescription rights to chiropractors. WAKE UP! Finally, the reality is that chiropractors do not TREAT disease. However, we do locate joint dysfunction that create the Subluxation Complex, and that constellation of symptoms CAN mimic visceral disease. This article is DEFINITELY worth your time reading!

This is really scary! I have treated diabetes and thyroid conditions for years. Case in point was a patient I saw who experienced headaches. She responded so well she asked if I could help her with her diabetes. I placed on a special diet and suggested specific nutrients. I followed up the next month and she stated she had not felt that good in years and was furious at her endocrinologist for not telling her about these things. I explained that her endocrinologist does not have training in nutrition or natural healing. Therein lies the problem. They do not want the competition and feel threaten by our profession!
