    Conclusion

    Note from the Author

    Imagine a world where health is the norm. Sick days are eliminated. Children don’t understand the word headache, because there’s no need for the word in their vocabulary. Peanuts can be taken and eaten anywhere. The sale of depression, anxiety, and sleep medication are at record lows. Hospitals are converting entire wings into spas, while specializing only in trauma and ensuring that healthy patients remain that way through nutrition, time management, exercise, and stretching.

    Processed foods are no longer produced, chemicals are banned from drinking water and food, and the body is treated as a person’s most prized possession.

    This is the world in which we are meant to live, and it is my conviction that this is possible. It is my unrelenting belief that humanity can change.

    It starts with you.

    It starts today…

    Introduction

    The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

    —Thomas A. Edison

    If you’ve ever watched somebody you love hunched over in excruciating pain, then you know how I felt on that Wednesday morning sitting in a hospital room beside my soon-to-be wife.

    She had woken up in shooting pain in her abdomen and was promptly driven to the emergency room by her roommate, where I met her an hour later. As I entered the room, medical doctors were speaking the results of their tests.

    Testing shows you don’t have appendicitis, but your symptoms seem like appendicitis so we’re going to do the surgery anyway, just to be safe, one doctor said in a matter of fact tone of voice. Your white blood cell count is at 18,000 right now, and should be at 10,000, but we don’t know the exact cause of it.

    I was finishing my first year of Chiropractic College, and while still pretty green I knew that blindly following the recommendation of this doctor was the wrong path. I told him we needed to talk privately to decide what to do. He acted offended, but obliged, then parted with the statement, If she doesn’t have this surgery, she will probably die.

    We immediately called one of the city’s prominent chiropractors and pleaded with the receptionist to ask if he could make a hospital visit. He obliged, leaving his practice for over thirty minutes. Within an hour, he was adjusting her lower spine, where a nerve that had traveled to her abdomen was being compressed at the fourth lumbar vertebrae.

    Our chiropractor left, but before he did he said something I will always be thankful for: Nobody can force you to do any medical procedure you don’t want to do. Make a decision based on facts and what is right for you, not out of fear or pressure.

    My wife’s pain decreased immediately, and after ten minutes a nurse walked into the room. She warned us, at the risk of losing her job, that the surgeon on duty right then used outdated techniques, and that his patients often had large scars and secondary infections. The shift was set to end in one and a half hours, and if we decided to remove her appendix it would be wise to refuse treatment with this doctor and wait for the next one.

    We talked, and after thirty minutes the treating physician walked in and told us he was taking her to surgery immediately, and that we didn’t have a choice. I requested another blood test, and told him we wouldn’t move forward without it. After explaining that it was impossible for her white blood cell count to change dramatically in such a short time, and citing the costs of doing another blood test, he finally agreed, just to prove it to you so we can finally move forward.

    He did the test, and soon walked in with the results, shaking his head. I don’t understand this, but your white blood cell count has dropped from 18,000 to 12,000 in a very short period of time. It appears that the infection may have subsided already, but I still am taking you upstairs to do surgery.

    At that moment, I knew we had to leave. The test had come back negative, her ultrasound was negative, her white blood cell counts and all other blood tests were almost within normal limits, and the doctors were baffled. But they wanted to move forward anyway.

    I told the medical staff we were leaving; they told us we couldn’t. I insisted, and they handed us a form to sign acknowledging that
