Since there are NO Absolutely Safe Drugs, Who is Really Responsible for Your Health?

         Barton Chiropractic in Concord is constantly reviewing the latest healthcare research so that     we can provide you with the best possible health care. You should share it!   If you answer, "I am," then I'm glad—you're getting it.

You are the only one who can be fully responsible for your health. You can choose to believe that this responsibility rests on someone else's shoulders, but at the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with the consequences, for better or worse. 

Unfortunately, a majority of people have been successfully brainwashed into thinking that FDA-approved drugs are both safe and effective. This is a tragedy of epic proportions because nothing could be further from the truth.

It's important to understand that even if a drug has gone through unbiased, stringent, long-term testing—which most do NOT undergo prior to approval—you may still experience harmful effects. The drug may interact badly with another drug you're taking or with a food you're eating. Your genetic makeup, metabolism, or the state of your immune system can also cause it to have an unpredictable impact. All Drugs Have Side Effects!

Sadly, studies are frequently biased, results are skewed, and drugs are put on a fast-track to be approved long before anyone knows whether they're safe. In essence, taking a drug is a gamble, and there are NO 100 percent safe drugs—not even over-the-counter versions.

Unfortunately, doctors are not likely to change their prescription habits any time soon because that's what they're trained to do. In many cases, writing prescriptions is ALL they do! So as a patient, you have to take it upon yourself to question the drugs prescribed to you.

Some of the most common-sense questions you need to ask before you take any drug include:

• Do I really need it? I mean really need it.
• Is it prescribed appropriately, or is it being prescribed for an off-label use?
• What are the side effects? (Both common and uncommon side effects)
• Is it addictive?
• Is it known to interact with any other drugs, supplements, or foods that I'm taking?

Subluxation  

If you have a vertebra that is out of place, it can put pressure on a nerve and cause it to not    function 100%. If the nerve supply to the organ is not 100% how can the organ function 100%?

The Doctors as Barton Chiropractic in Concord offer free consultations to determine if patients may have vertebral subluxations. 

Chiropractors remove nervous system interference allowing your body to regulate it self and heal itself naturally, without drugs or surgery.

It makes total sense to me, that if you do not want more drugs and surgery, you need Barton Chiropractic!
