Huh? I chiropractor talking about heart disease? The first thought out of the brains of the typical medical bigot? “This guy is way out of his scope of practice.” Along with this comes various attacks with zero validity. Want an example? This is from my Facebook page, a comment on a meme I posted questioning the sanity of giving kids psychotropic medications.
“Had PVC’s (pre-ventricular contractions), but since being adjusted, haven’t had any.” - Mary Kelly, Vermont and Thailand
“No (heart) fibrillation for five months! Physically better, and mentally about 96% better. I do feel much, much better overall.” - Hermila Gonsalves, San Rafael
“My blood pressure is normal, even though I haven’t taken my pills for one week. Great!” – Bruni Hohman, Larkspur
“I have no use for my high blood pressure pills anymore, since seeing Dr. Harte. I now take only cholesterol and thyroid pills. I will not refill those prescriptions. I sleep well now.” - Neil Sorensen, Novato
“One day before seeing Dr. Harte I took my blood pressure it was 146-94. Later that day I took it again and it was 138-83. I think it had something to do with seeing him.” Barbara May, San Rafael
“I just received the results of my yearly CBC and cholesterol tests. Triglycerides were down 75% to 42, and cholesterol down about 30% to 146. My physician said that the results looked like those of a 12 year old. (I’m 43.)
For years, my cholesterol always hovered around 200. I’ve always eaten well, exercised and taken heart-healthy supplements including fish oil. I’m trying to normalize all factors in my life, and can only conclude that the chiropractic care you have provided me with since 2006 has had some sort of positive effect.
In addition to improved mental clarity and a feeling of general well-being, your care may have radically reduced my chances for heart disease. My two daughters under your care also seem to have improved mentally and physically since last year. It kind of seemed expensive at first, but every dollar has been worth it.” – Dan Poore, Tiburon
“I sleep like a baby now, without medication, since coming to Dr. Harte. I have no use for my high blood pressure pills anymore, since seeing Dr. Harte. I now take only cholesterol and thyroid pills. I will not refill those prescriptions. I sleep well now.”- Neil Sorensen, Novato
“No (heart) fibrillation for five months! Physically better, and mentally about 96% better. I do feel much, much better overall.” - Hermila Gonsalves, San Rafael
“I no longer take any prescription medications. [previously taking Lisinopril for high blood pressure, Lovastatin for high cholesterol, and Vicodin for pain.] I feel great and I am much more able to deal with stress.” - Bill Griffin, San Rafael
“Blood pressure starting to self-adjust. No more medications.” Edith Collins, San Rafael
“Soon after beginning Wellness Chiropractic, I stopped taking the following prescription drugs, recommended by my family doctor: Allopurinol and probenecid (for gout), Enapril (for high blood pressure) and aspirin (for the heart). I also stopped taking tetracycline, recommended by my dermatologist for rosacea. As a result of going through your twice weekly adjustments, I have not had an encounter with gout, my blood pressure is ‘normal’ (according to my M.D.), and my nose only turns red at Christmastime.” -Roy Bell, San Anselmo
“In June, 2000, I was facing a second back surgery. I decided to try Chiropractic with Dr. Harte instead. My leg and buttock pain of many years vanished. I continued in Dr. Harte’s Wellness program, to continually improve my health. After taking blood pressure medication for 13 years, I began to experience dizziness. It turned out that, through the adjustments to my spine, my pressure had returned to normal, so my medication was no longer necessary, and was now causing the dizziness. I stopped taking it, and my blood pressure is just fine.” –Janice Cobb Corte Madera, CA
Should you get checked for nerve interference if you have heart disease, high blood pressure and/or circulation problems? Of course!
