I am a firm believer in main stream medical science, but my girlfriend claims that acupuncture cured her of serious kidney disease when all other attempts at treatment failed. Perhaps remission simply came from cyptogenic causes, but I certainly keep an open mind. I have heard otherwise quite sane friends praise chiropractic maneuvering, and while some call this sort of thing quackery, I wouldn't hesitate to get a "treatment" if I had a disease that didn't respond to accepted medical procedures.

The best medicine is preventive medicine. The things I've learned since going to the chiropractor are astounding. Chiropractic first is the best medicine to keep your immune system as strong as possible.
Most of our medical problems are not uncovered until symptoms get annoying. This can take months, years or even decades. Spinal mis-alignments or subluxations usually occur during the birth process and can worsen as we age.
The 3T's of subluxations are traumas, toxins (including most drugs) and thoughts (everyday stressors). The 3 leading causes of death in the US are 1.) heart disease,
2.) cancer, and 3.) properly prescribed medication.
The things the medical community willingly stick their 'heads in the sand on' are simply astounding.
