112 years later, chiropractors are uniquely positioned to be the gate keepers to universal health care in this country. We've allowed the AMA and medical doctors to have the opportunity to change their paradigm from a disease care model to health care model and we see the results. America ranks 37th in the world, according to the WHO for health care, 41 in the world for longevity, and 72 in the world for overall health. We are the most obese nation in the world, produce and consume more toxic drugs than any country in the world, and traditional medicine has failed when it comes to health care. They are truly the world's best when it comes to crisis and trauma care, but the record of health care speaks for itself.

Chiropractors receive much of the same education as our medical counter parts. We are required to complete two years of pre-med before being accepted into chiropractic college's four year program. Chiropractors actually receive more hours of instruction in the basic sciences, as well as over 600 hours in the diagnosis of medical conditions. We receive 3 years of radiology, 2 years of neurology, more hours in orthopedics and anatomy and are required to pass 4 different national board examinations prior to graduation. With two years as interns, we get the opportunity to see a wide variety of medical conditions that usually have nerve involvement to some extent or another. The average chiropractor receives close to 5,000 hours of instruction. Our degree is not from a Cracker Jacks box.

With close to two years of education in nutrition, chiropractors are among the most highly educated doctors in the health field. Compare that to an average of 25 hours or less of nutrition being taught to medical doctors and you can begin to see the problem. Feel ill, take a pill, has become the mantra of our medical profession. For a great laugh detailing our failed system, go to: http://www.cafeoflifepikespeak.com/Videos/Licensed%20To%20Pill.swf

Most disease conditions can be prevented by giving the body what it is deficient in. Food that can be assimilated into the body to repair, restore, regenerate, heal, clean, and repair. Just look at the problem with our food. Grown in nutrient deficient soil, topped with fertilizer and pesticides, fed polluted water, animals injected or fed food that has been genetically altered, growth hormone, antibiotics, and we wonder why our health is as poor as it is. Even the AMA has gone on record as saying it would be prudent for all adults to supplement their diet. But doctors are ignorant when it comes to nutrition and nutritional supplements. But it really is not their fault. It is the system they are educated in. They really do care about you and they do have a tremendous heart. They are just misguided souls, brain washed into thinking health comes from a pill, potion, shot, or surgery.

Chiropractors are the best solution for gate keepers to universal health care. We are able to recommend proper nutritional supplements, proper food selection, monitor exercise, and make better health recommendations than traditional doctors. In addition, we are intelligent enough to know when someone needs a medical doctor to work with us, when a drug is warranted, and when advanced care is needed. Unfortunately most medical doctors do not understand a chiropractor's education, and do not feel we are worthy to share in patient care. How incredulous is that? Talk about arrogance!

With 2/3 of American's overweight, chiropractors are adding weight loss programs to their office. Now, chiropractors nation wide have the advantage. Health expert Jett, owner of his own wellness company in Hawaii, with the cooperation of Dr. Steve Nugent, PhD, ND, former president of the American Naturopathic Association, has implemented the nations first, true, weight loss and health care program that is taking over the wellness industry by storm, supplying solutions that work. Chiropractors nation wide will soon be the office of choice and if we have our say, the gatekeeper to universal health care.

The weight loss solution? Perfect Body Shape.
Healthy choices? Feel Great, Look Great, Live Well.

As a result of adding Perfect Body Shape to my office, I am now truly, a wellness centered office. I offer symptom relief, corrective care, wellness care, cold low level light laser, nutritional support, and now a weight loss program that is shedding not only fat, but inches and pounds while creating lean muscle. I am already receiving referrals from medical doctors because in reality, they don't have the time or the knowledge to properly handle the weight issues of most of their patients. They are to busy addressing conditions that are the result of their weight problem in the first place!

If you are a medical doctor and would like to serve your patients better, I would welcome the opportunity to share with you what I can do to help your patients. We do not have to be in the same town.

So, all you chiropractors out there looking for the answer to really be the doctor you are educated to be, it's time to take back what has been taken from us by a failing system. The ability to help our patients regain their health. It's not about treating, curing, or mitigating any disease condition. It's about providing the body with nutrition that, in many cases, will provide the body a fighting chance.

If you are a doctor or a consumer, please feel free to contact me and I will provide you with additional information that may actually save a life. Perhaps yours.

God Bless,
