Scientists have been studying pollutants in air water and on land for decades. For example, in a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals found in the group. Like most of us, the people tested do not work with chemicals on the job and do not live near an industrial facility.
Scientists refer to this contamination as a person’s “body burden.” Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development. The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied. Link

“Is this a private fight, or can anyone join in?”
(Old Irish saying borrowed from the FightingBob.com website.)

Chiropractors have always enjoyed a good fight and this seems like a very good one. B.J. Palmer referred to the saying: “A kite flies highest against the wind.” Dr. Wilk and others fought the “wind” of the AMA and finally won in 1990 (more info). Like the Avis slogan “We try harder”, chiropractic has grown strong because it has had to struggle hard against those with vested interests in insurance and pharmaceutical profits. (See the video on the Town of Allopath. Click here.) In the day-to-day operation of your daily practice, it is sometimes hard to see just how big and persistent the battle is. But it is a good fight and for a noble cause… the health of your patient’s.

You are welcome to join in.
