What we can Learn from

Meningitis | Tompkins

Family Chiropractic

By Dr. Emil Tompkins: A Chiropractor in Tucson with a passion for health and wellness.

If you watch the news, browse the

internet, or have any friends,then you’ve

probably heard about the meningitis

outbreak in America. People are being

rushed to the hospital and at least 9

people as of the writing of this message

have died.

What we know now is that people

were receiving steroid injections into

their spine, however the steroids were

contaminated with a fungus. This

creates a fungal infection inside the

spinal canal and can then travel to the

brain. Fungal infections are very difficult

to cure, leaving these people in a dire

situation to say the least.

Unfortunately medical intervention

is one of the leading causes of death

in America today(170,000 deaths

reported), behind only heart

disease(750,000 deaths) and

cancer(500,000deaths).

This is a staggering statistic and it should

be made clear. These numbers are a

combination of malpractice,

contaminated substances (as in the

meningitis cases) and normal correctly

prescribed procedures that have caused

problems in the patient. The numbers

are astronomical.

The people died receiving a common

treatment for severe lower back

pain. And when you think about that

you might wonder, why wouldn’t they

choose another option? Well, thee are a

lot of possible reasons.

Because, there pain is so

severe after letting their

problems go for years

without relief

Because their doctor

didn’t offer other

alternatives.

The patient didn’t know about other

natural alternatives to relieving their

discomfort.

If there is any solution to this problem, it

takes multiple steps.

Don’t delay in understanding the reasons for

your pain. See your Family Doctor or

Chiropractor as soon as a problem

arises. That way you can get some help

before it becomes unbearable.

The meningitis vaccine will not prevent this

type of meningitis. The vaccine specifically

may work for viral meningitis, not the fungal

form as we are seeing in the current cases.

Know that you have

options: Sometimes we believe

medications are our only options for a

healthy and pain free life and that’s

simply not true. Our body was built to

be healthy and if we do things that

continue to build our health, we’ll have

less problems to try to cure later in life.

See your Chiropractor: with a natural

approach to health and wellness, you can

achieve your health goals without drugs and

surgery. The dangerous side effects just

aren’t an issue in chiropractic.

If you are desiring to be healthier but want a solution to the traditional medical model, visit your family chiropractor. Your body will thank you for it.
