Great swine flu article

As the nation and the world are caught up in the swine flu excitement, a dose of reality is in order.

As a chiropractor trained in scientific reasoning, a lot of the news reports just didn’t add up. My own wellness point of view on health prevents me from waiting until a disease arrives to address it. A preventative approach is always more effective than a treatment.

The national response to this disease seems out of proportion to the real threat, especially comparing it to other diseases we contend with every day in America. My own research into the swine flu epidemic included an article by Dr. Joseph Mercola. It effectively addresses the inaccuracies and some of the conspiracy theories (with a grain of salt).

We should be skeptical of conspiracies but we should not be naïve; news organizations have a vested interest in exciting stories and drug companies have a vested interest in disease treatment.

Please read Dr. Mercola’s article. I think you’ll find it very interesting.
