BIZARRE LAWSUIT FILED BY THE MEDDLESOME TEXAS MEDICAL ASSN. AGAINST BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC

In the “why don’t they clean up their own backyard” department, nothing is more clearly deserving of the ‘YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE” AWARD, than the specious and meritless lawsuit filed by the Texas Med. ASSn. against the Texas Board of Chiropractic.

A copy of this foolishness is found HERE . You will notice that they, (the TMA or Texas MEDDLESOME Association) assert that doctors of Chiropractic, do not have the right to diagnose! What idiocy.

Here is a quote from their lawsuit :
“

The diagnosis of medical conditions

24. Under Texas law, only physicians can diagnose medical conditions. As noted

above, the practice of medicine is defined, in part, as “the diagnosis … of physical disease ordisorder or a physical deformity or injury[.]” Tex. Occ. Code

5 151.002(a)(13). By contrast, the

practice of chiropractic is defined, in pertinent part, as the use of “objective or subjective means

to analyze, examine or evaluate the biomechanical condition of the spine and musculoskeletalsystem[.]” Tex. Occ. Code 5 201.022@)(1). Because the diagnosis of medical conditions is the

practice of medicine, the term was carefully and intentionally omitted from the definition of

chiropractic. Section 75.17(d) of the Scope of Practice rule expressly authorizes chiropractors to

diagnose medical conditions and by doing so unlawfully expands the practice of chiropractic into the practice of medicine. “

So, here’s to you TMA…the YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE award!

Reflections on HealthCare

I believe it is somewhat ironic if not downright laughable that we call, what the allopathic establishment calls “HealthCare” , because, it is such a misnomer. First of all, what does an MD do for a person who presents to his or her office, and is obviously in a good state of health ? Are they going to do anything to or for them? If they ask the person if they are having any health related problems and that person says NO, and relates they feel fairly healthy, then what “CARE” is provided to the person ?

Now, if a person who was suffering from a disease shows up, NOW suddenly you find doctors able to volunteer to do lots of diagnostic testing and perhaps start writing prescriptions. So, first of all, really, the MD based system called “allopathic”, meaning “different from the disease” is a disease oriented treatment system (i.e. disease and/or injury). Actually, perhaps it should more properly be referred to as a Malfunction Addressing System. You notice I left out the word “CARE” in the “Malfunction Addressing System” term. The reason is that, there seems to be very little “CARE” in this system. And, by CARE, I mean the feeling one human has for the other, a feeling of empathy and wanting to help them.

The ALLOPATHIC system, perpetuated and glorified by the AMA (American Medical Assocation) is oriented toward two things…diseases, and making money from providing treatments for those diseases.

There is absolutely no question that much more money is made from keeping people infirmed, than is made by any treatment that will ameliorate the condition . 

I often say that only two things are cured…hams and leather. No doctor really HEALS or CURES anyone. The body, the immune system, the innate internal systems of the body are responsible for healing. The most any doctor or practitioner can do is to help to remove obstacles to healing, while, at the same time, trying to observe the first principle of Hippocrates, i.e., my personal catch phrase, “PRIMUM NON NOCERE” or “FIRST, DO NO HARM”. In other words, for God’s sake, if you can’t do anything to help the person, at least don’t make things worse!

Now, thinking about that last idea, how many nightmares occur as a result of plastic surgery gone badly, such that not only is the person made more attractive after surgery, but often, they are permanently disfigured.

But, even more to the point, how about the issue of medical malpractice, or of the deaths caused by allopathic medical techniques every year.

Look at this link : DEATH BY MEDICINE

 

By Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD

Something is wrong when regulatory agencies pretend that vitamins are dangerous, yet ignore published statistics showing that government-sanctioned medicine is the real hazard

And, how about the conclusions of the HARVARD MEDICAL PRACTICE STUDY

 

http://qhc.bmjjournals.com/cgi/reprint/13/2/151 WHICH CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NOT ONLY WAS THERE NOT TOO MANY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SUITS BEING FILED, BUT THERE WERE PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH GIVEN THE STATUS OF HEALTH MISTAKES MADE IN HOSPITALS.
