Great :)
Now that I got your attention, let me explain.
The idea that Chiropractic is like Viagra has been rolling around in my head for a little while now.
Have you seen the episode of House where Dr. House is being reprimanded for prescribing that little blue pill to a patient with a heart condition? It's quite funny to watch him sarcastically remind them that Viagra was originally intended for a heart condition! How funny, but true! Due to it's "adverse side effect" it became the most prescribed (recreational) drug ever written.
When I got into chiropractic school I was shocked to learn that many chiropractors never really learned the history and original intention of chiropractic. How Chiropractic was channeled to DD Palmer through a spiritual medium, explaining, not just how to do it, but how it will help humanity evolve, by connecting the physical body with the Spiritual.
What happened? It became about the symptoms, back pain, neck pain, relief from asthma or high blood pressure or ear infections. These are all "side effects" of chiropractic! Health, Healing, improved quality of life are the results of Chiropractic! By focusing on side effects, and not its original intention, it became all about the" bling" and lost it's way.
Now, I don't mean to include all chiropractors in this, I know many that are quite aware of Chiropractic's history and intention, but the challenge is communicating it to the average person.
And that's when this analogy came to me.
Y'know, I've heard that in 2012 there will be a great shift in the consciousness of humankind. Perhaps now is the perfect time to make people aware of what Chiropractic was intended to do.
Peace
