M.D.'s Thoughts on Chiropractic

"I started out, as do most beginners in the medical art, to conquer the demon ‘disease’ with drugs. I too, often failed, as they all do...the more I studied and experimented, the more I was convinced that the real cause of dis-ease was impinged nerves, and that the chiropractic adjustment was the most scientific way to release them...results are what count, and chiropractic care, when scientifically given, brings them..."
- William A. Seeley, M.D.

"The contrast of osteopathy to chiropractic is as great as the contrast of an old-fashioned blunder-bus to a modern high powered rifle...this opinion is based on knowledge gained through my experience in drugless therapy, and is so firmly fixed in my mind that I no longer practice osteopathy at all."

To Live Longer MD Recommends Avoiding MDs
As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition, herbal medicine and other forms of natural medicine unless you are fortunate enough to have a naturopathic physician available, like a Chiropractor. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone. Vaccines are highly dangerous, have never been adequately studied or proven to be effective, and have a poor risk/reward ratio. Most surgery is unnecessary and most textbooks of medicine are inaccurate and deceptive. Almost every disease is said to be idiopathic (without known cause) or genetic – although this is untrue. In short, our mainstream medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. The treatment of cancer and degenerative diseases is a national scandal. The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be.

Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.” Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.), “The Father of Medicine
“Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.”
- Daniel H. Kress, M.D.

Dr. Craig’s comments on the above:
I know many people today still consider medicine to be mainstream, and chiropractic to be an alternative form of healthcare. I would challenge you to consider how this perception came to be, and whether it is truly accurate or not. Consider the word healthcare… do you honestly think that medicine(s) are the ultimate source of health and healing power? Are M.D.’s known for their treatments and teachings when it comes to learning more about health in general? I would strongly answer NO to both questions and argue that the chiropractic profession and especially this chiropractic office strives to TEACH and TREAT the cause of illness and not merely focus on symptoms (affects). Therefore, I would argue that our chiropractic office is a no-alternative approach to healthcare. Meaning everyone needs to care for the health of their spine and nerve system as if it were top priority. Everything after that should be considered alternative, and that would include drug therapy and surgery. The people around us at work and at home need to be taught that Chiropractic should be the first option when it comes to healthcare, and not last resort. What is the alternative to maintaining your health naturally?
