Do Cortisone Shots Make Things Worse?

A major new article review recently published in The Lancet reveals what many in the natural health profession have suspected for a long time.  The review examined the results of over 40 randomized trials and over 2500 patients with tendon injuries. The reviewers found that cortisone injections did in fact provide fast and significant pain relief compared with doing nothing or partaking in physical therapy. However, cortisone shots did not heal the structural damage underlying the pain. Instead, they actually hindered the structural healing.

When patients who received cortisone injections were re-examined at 6 and 12 months, the results were alarming. Overall, people who received cortisone shots had a much lower rate of full recovery than those who did nothing or who underwent physical therapy.

ADHD: Change in Diet Helps More Than Drugs

A new study published in the Lancet, shows that a restrictive diet helps children with ADHD more than drugs.

The study’s lead author, Dr. Lidy Pelsser of the ADHD Research Centre in the Netherlands, writes in The Lancet that the disorder is triggered in many cases by external factors — and those can be treated through changes to one’s environment.

In an interview with NPR, she explains further:

“ADHD, it’s just a couple of symptoms — it’s not a disease,”According to Pelsser, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Researchers determined that by starting kids on a very elaborate diet, then restricting it over a few weeks’ time. Continue reading “ADHD: Change in Diet Helps More Than Drugs”

Innate Intelligence

At first glance you may think a Chiropractor was responsible for these words.  But they were actually written by a Harvard medical school instructor and practitioner in the late 1800’s.  While this belief is trivialized today by the medical and pharmaceutical community, it remains the core foundation of the practice of Chiropractic.

Chiropractors humbly acknowledge that “the ONLY thing that can heal the body is the Power that created it.”  The wisdom Dr. Cabot refers to in his quote is called Innate Intelligence by Chiropractors.  It is the Power of Life that animates our cells, tissues and organs.  It is the coordinating force that maintains our body’s intricate chemical balance.  It silently and confidently orchestrates all steps involved in the healing process from mending a broken bone to putting cancer in remission.  Not only can Innate Intelligence direct healing to every part of the body without interference, but it can also effectively direct replication, reproduction, adaptation, and survival. It is in favor of you living, rather than you dying.

Chiropractors are responsible for letting you know about this great force inside you.  If you really want to know who’s responsible for getting you better from the weak state, chronic illness, incapacitating pain or depressing condition you first walked into a Chiropractor’s office with?  Take a look in the mirror.  It was the best doctor on the planet, the one staring right back at you, that did ALL the work.

2.      69% of the chiropractic children have never had otitis media (middle ear infection), while only 20% of the medical children never had otitis media.
