Hurricane
As you may have realized, there was no newsletter last week as we were hiding from Katrina. I have personally been to Pascagoula with my church for the cleanup effort and have worked with the people of that area and the devastation is unimaginable. As my heart went out for those people, I couldn't help but relate it to the health condition of this country as a whole.
Imagine living on the Gulf Coast 100 years ago. Before TV's, Doppler radars, and a thorough understanding of the physics of a storm, the warning and preparation time for an event of this measure was nothing compared to what it is today. The most recent estimates in New Orleans alone is 10,000 dead. What would Katrina have done in 1905?
100 years ago Chiropractic had just been "born". With little to no understanding of how it worked, what to test for, and how the body really worked it was impossible to prevent catastrophe in the health of our nation. Our health for the last 100 years has suffered as a result.
Today Chiropractors have the diagnostic tools, treatment protocols, and complex understanding of the human body and it's physiology that make it possible to detect, warn, and avoid many of the health consequences that plague our nation.
So why are so many "staying for the storm"? Unfortunately because most simply don't know how to get the information that can save them, or are under the false impression that they can't afford to have Chiropractic care. The fact is, you can't afford NOT TO! (look at what's happening to insurance)
The hurricane is coming as long as you ignore the warning sirens. I congratulate those of you that don't ignore or "turn off" the sirens. Help others see the warnings, you could save their lives as well!
