Are you sick and tired of being told what medications you should be on by the companies making the drugs and profiting directly from the sales of those drugs??

 Pharmaceutical sales is currently one of the largest businesses in the world.  This is due in part to the new and improved advertising campaigns you see everyday on TV, in magazines, and on the radio.  You know the commercial I'm talking about.  The one with the couple running down the beach holding hands for 5 seconds followed by 5 seconds of an announcer telling you that the only way you can look or feel like them is by taking their drug.  Then comes the 45 seconds of serious and life threatening adverse reactions, allergies, and side effects…most of which are much worse than the aches and pains, stuffy nose, itchy eyes, or acne you were trying to get rid of in the first place.  Finally you have the 5 seconds of the lovely couple holding hands again with the announcer saying the words "ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF THIS DRUG IS RIGHT FOR YOU".  Are we all that easily fooled??  The United States is currently taking over half of all the prescription and OTC drugs produced in the entire world.  Are we really that sick, or are we being convinced by high priced advertising campaigns that we are??  Even if we are sick, are the drugs going to help us get better, or just cover up the sickness and expose us to dangerous and unnecessary side effects?

We need to have a little more faith in the human body and its innate ability to heal itself.  Your brain, nervous system, and the energy that flows from above --> down, from the inside --> out, is the only thing keeping you alive right now and is the only thing in this world responsible for healing your body.  Chiropractic care restores the connection between your brain and your body through a subluxation free and clear spine.  This gives your mind and body the best chance possible of adapting to the stresses of life, maintaining balance, and staying healthy. 

Even though our body was designed to live and function without the interference of drugs, certain life threatening conditions and circumstances may require the use of prescription medications.  However, these drugs are not the ones being advertised.  The drugs on TV and in the magazines are being treated like they are consumer products.  Many of which are dangerous consumer products that we are being scared and lured into using.  Dangerous consumer products that have life threatening side effects and in many cases unknown long term side effects.  Honestly, how can it be legal to advertise these things?  Should we be giving in to the fear that we may have a condition that needs a drug we see advertised on TV??  Should we ever be ASKING OUR DOCTOR IF THAT DRUG IS RIGHT FOR US???   I say NO!  No to over-prescription and over-use of medications, No to advertising them on TV, NO to listening to them being pushed on the radio, and No to reading a magazine and having 15 or more full pages of pharmaceutical advertising.  There is only one way to stop this madness and that is to stop funding it.  Say YES to LIFE, Say NO to DRUGS.
