The study, published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine outlines the following key findings: • Use of chiropractic remains the single most widely used alternative • 40% of respondents used at least one alternative in 1997 • Overall use of non-allopathic care has increased by a huge 25% • Total visits to alternative providers like chiropractors rose to 629 million and exceeded total visits to all primary care physicians by 243 million • Total expenditures rose to a whopping 21.2 billion dollars, 12.2 billion was an out of pocket expense. Dr. Wayne Jones, M.D., in an article of the Journal of the American Medical Association, comments that, "alternative health care is here to stay because it. reflects the changing needs and values in society". He further outlines what drives the changes we are seeing. "People have an ever declining faith that conventional scientific breakthroughs will have relevance for the personal treatment of disease and people are increasingly concerned about the adverse effects and escalating costs of conventional health care." Kim Jobst, Editor-in-chief, lournal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine outlines the two major factors behind this amazing rise in alternative health care. First, the ineffectiveness of western biomedicine for a significant proportion of the common chronic diseases; and second, the fact that conventional medicine is too expensive to be universally affordable. Health care money should be spent on life not death. A recent statistic confirmed that fully 70% of an individual's health care budget is spent in the last 10 days of their life. The human body has a remarkable ability to be well. In fact, our natural state is one of wellness not disease. Chiropractic focuses on this amazing capacity of the body to heal and to be well.
