Why People Don\u2019t Understand Chiropractic<\/p>\n
Today I want to share with you the truth about what happened to the chiropractic profession.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got a question for you\u2026<\/p>\n
Do you know anyone that doesn\u2019t \u201cbelieve\u201d in chiropractic care? You know, the people that say things like\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cChiropractors aren\u2019t real doctors.\u201d
\n\u201cI don\u2019t believe in chiropractors\u201d
\n\u201cI would never go to a chiropractor\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard these kinds of comments before. They may even be coming from family members, friend, or co-workers.<\/p>\n
=======================
\nWhy People Think This Way
\n=======================<\/p>\n
Chances are pretty good that your opinion about chiropractic is favorable. If not, you probably wouldn\u2019t be my patient.<\/p>\n
But what about the people who are negative about chiropractic care. Have you ever wondered WHY these people feel this way?<\/p>\n
After all, you know how beneficial chiropractic is\u2026how safe it is\u2026and how it makes you feel better and improve your health.<\/p>\n
And even though chiropractic care is as popular as ever today, it wasn\u2019t always that way.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s go over what caused people to have a negative perception about chiropractic care.<\/p>\n
======================
\nThe Guilty Party: The AMA
\n======================<\/p>\n
The story goes something like this:<\/p>\n
Back in the 1940\u2019s and the 1950\u2019s, chiropractic care was gaining in popularity across the United States. And that was a big problem for the American Medical Association (AMA). You see, from a business perspective, the AMA viewed the chiropractic profession as a \u201cthreat\u201d to the business of medicine. And the American Medical Association opposes all forms of health care that cuts into its profits.<\/p>\n
So in 1963, a committee was formed within the AMA. It was called the committee on quackery. Their job? To \u201ccontain and eliminate\u201d the profession of chiropractic.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t believe me? Check this out.<\/p>\n
In 1971, in a memo to the AMA Board of Trustees, Doyle Taylor wrote, \u201cYour Committee has considered its prime mission to be the first containment of Chiropractic and ultimately the elimination of Chiropractic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s keep going.<\/p>\n
So this committee did three things in their efforts to destroy the chiropractic profession.<\/p>\n
First, they made it illegal for medical doctors who were members of the AMA to work with chiropractors. If a medical doctor was found working with a chiropractor, they were kicked out of the American Medical Association.<\/p>\n
The second thing that happened was new medical doctors were taught in medical school that chiropractors were unscientific quacks and you did not work with them.<\/p>\n
The third thing that happened is for over 20 years this committee disseminated false information to the general public. They did it through the school systems, the press, through hospitals and doctors\u2026you name it.<\/p>\n
=================
\nThe AMA Gets Sued
\n=================<\/p>\n
In October of 1976, a chiropractor by the name of Dr. Chester Wilk, and 4 other chiropractors sued the American Medical Association.<\/p>\n
To make a long story short, in 1987, following 11 years of legal action, the American Medical Association was found guilty. Judge Susan Getzedanner, in 1987, ruled that the AMA had engaged in an illegal conspiracy to destroy the chiropractic profession by engaging in \u201csystematic, long-term wrong-doing with the long-term intent to destroy a licensed profession.\u201d The AMA was ordered to cease and desist. Judge Getzedanner also ordered \u201ca permanent injunction against the AMA, forcing them to print the court\u2019s findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association.\u201d<\/p>\n
This decision was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1990.<\/p>\n
==========================
\nThe Big Problem With All Of This
\n==========================<\/p>\n
So now that you know the truth about what happened to the chiropractic profession, do you see the big problem here?<\/p>\n
Here it is:<\/p>\n
The people that don\u2019t believe in chiropractic care have a belief system that is based on a lie created by the American Medical Association.
\nThis lie was PROVEN to be a lie at the Supreme Court level in our court system.<\/p>\n
And because of this lie, there are now millions of people in our country that believe something that isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n
Chiropractic has been a great profession THE ENTIRE TIME. And it will continue to be a great profession.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s worse is this: Think about the millions of people in our country that suffer needlessly every day because they don\u2019t think chiropractic care is an option\u2026because they were taught not to go to chiropractors.<\/p>\n
Do you know how many people would be healthier and would feel better if they knew the truth and started going to a chiropractor? It would be millions.<\/p>\n
So please do me a favor. If you know someone who \u201cdoesn\u2019t believe\u201d in chiropractic, forward this email to them. Gently tell them that what they were taught was a lie\u2026and that chiropractic care is a great way to get healthy and stay healthy. It\u2019s time to stop believing in lies and believing the truth.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much for your attention. I hope you\u2019ve learned a lot today.<\/p>\n
I appreciate the opportunity to be your chiropractor and I look forward to seeing you soon in the office.<\/p>\n
Have a great day,<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
