Diabetes And Magnet Therapy

For many emerging from winter-overeating-inactivity, spring’s clarion call to resume long abandoned fitness routines, and accelerating the firming of enervated bodies, may result in serious injuries. In fact, according to a US CPC study, over 149,000 were treated for exercise related injuries in 2007. While most injured seek traditional medical treatment; Complementary Alternative Medicines (CAM), are in fact, growing each year, and Chiropractic is number one.

Chiropractors, however, reject the CAM label; while the American Medical Association (AMA) has, for the most part, perceived them as an “unscientific cult” (Keating, p. 59, 2005), and have actively scorned them until 1987 when they lost an antitrust case.

The Origin of Chiropractic Therapy

The basic procedures of Chiropractic Therapy, spinal and soft tissue manipulation, have been practiced as far back as Hippocrates, “the father of medicine”. It was not, however, until 1896, when D.D. Palmer, after performing a ""medical miracle" named himself “The Father of Chiropractic Therapy”, claiming he alone invented a new therapy. Ironically, the only medical training Palmer had was nine years as a “magnetic (Energy) healer”. His other jobs were bookkeeper and grocer (Keating, pp., 30-33, 2005).
