I don't believe in Chiropractic.

[Guest guest]

Depending on what mood I'm in and where the question comes up, and 'who'

is asking...

I ask if they 'believe' only in things they can see....I ask them if

they believe the

pain they have that keeps them from being able to bend over to tie their

shoe is real....I ask them to SHOW me the pain....and SHOW me those

things that they 'can' believe in....

......I ask if they believe in gravity.....or in Spring....or Love....or

'credit ratings'....

I ask what basis is it they 'believe' in anything....

I ask if they want to see proof, and and ask just what that proof may

be....I ask what would it take to reexamine what their 'belief' is based

upon....

I ask a thousand different questions....

I ask them whether they believe the nervous system controls the function

of the body, or whether the believe mankind somehow was just barely able

to exist for millions of years before Aspirin and Ex Lax....and we

whether we should believe aspirin and ex lax was what we should believe

in....

I ask whether they feel better after an adjustment, because, yes, " I "

believe there is a difference when my body is functioning better after

an adjustment....

Sometimes their eyes glaze over....I ask whether they are bored or would

like to learn more about how the body actually works....

Some have their minds made up. Some don't want to hear anything.

I asked one lady who recently reported her husband 'doesn't believe in

chiropractic' whether her husband 'believed' her when she was feeling

poorly....and when she said yes, I asked 'can he tell when you are

feeling better' and again she said 'yes he can'....

I asked whether SHE could tell the difference....once again she agreed....

I asked her whether what her husband believed in spite of what he could

see with his own eyes, should make any difference to how I spend MY day,

dedicated to people who DID 'believe' in chiropractic...

....I don't want to be accused of getting into a RANT here....

You will find some way to deal with this kind of question.

Happy New Year...
