NeuroInfiniti White Paper: Cause of Disease... A New Perspective.
Latest Research Reveals Stress Factors Outweigh Germs as Cause of Disease. For decades billions of research dollars have been poured onto the study of bacteria and viruses as the cause of ill health and disease. The results have produced more medicines and treatment but with failing results! We now have more listed diseases and so many drugs that no one can keep track. It seems that everyone over 50 is on some levels of medicine and the general concept is that this is normal. IT ISN’T. What is going on?

Chiropractic Crossroads . . .
The future of Chiropractic is being decided at this very moment. It's often difficult to see that you are at a crossroads when you are standing on top of them. But take my word for it: Chiropractic is there. Years from now we will all look back and realize that this period in our profession was a defining moment. The question is, which way will we go? The options are pretty clear, but the answer may not be: are you a doctor of the spine or a doctor of the nervous system?
Over the past several months there has been a floodgate of articles written on the connection between stress and its affect on health. And much of the research is focusing on what is called the stress response. In one published study a patient's stress response was a better indicator of an impending heart attack or major heart event than any other factor including age, sex, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure or even smoking. There is a tremendous amount of research being done in this area by the medical community. They believe - and they are spending the money to prove it - that the ability to identify these "at-risk" individuals will save millions of lives and billions of dollars. The reality is this: I agree with them. Yet the question remains, having identified the symptom, how will the medical community go about "fixing" the problem? Do they have any tools in their toolbox to really address the problem?
In spite of all of the success stories that come out of your practice on a daily basis, I am sure that you have had the universal experience of the chiropractic-non-responder; That patient who simply seems stuck or can't "hold an adjustment"; The patient who you avoid doing a re-exam with a surface EMG or thermal instrument because you know in the back of your head that they are going to look worse than before. The patient who wants to know what you did to them last visit because they have been in pain ever since.
As discussed previously, the effects of stress comes as no surprise for most Chiropractors. The big question is this: given the knowledge that a poor response to stress is a precursor to dis-ease and a plethora of ailments, how can we use this information for our patient's benefit? And given that this information is available, how can we practice without it?
Imagine for a minute that we are playing a game. The rules are simple. There are one hundred people in a room; male, female, young, old, short, tall, all walks of life. They all appear perfectly healthy. You have two tasks. First, you have to adjust them all. Second, in the course of adjusting, you have to identify the one patient whose nervous system is at the end of its metaphorical rope. The victim of years of chronic stress, their nervous system in shot, exhausted, spent. Using your hands, your head, your experience, and any equipment you currently have in your practice, how confident are you that you would be able to identify that patient? How comfortable are you that you aren't going to let that patient walk out your door and continue down the same road they have been on?
There are many challenges to being a Chiropractor today; compliance, reimbursement, and the economy to name a few. Yet there is another side to that coin. In many ways there has never been a better time to be a chiropractor. More people each year become proactive in their quest for health, as indicated by the huge markets in bottled water, supplements, and health spas. Finally with what seems to be weekly publications of research connecting stress to a laundry list of ailments, the public has never been more aware of the dangers of stress. Chiropractic is in the middle of the perfect storm of influences. The question is this: will we plot our own course or allow ourselves to be swept out with the tide?
