What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic, also known as chiropractic care, is a health care discipline that claims to prevent and treat health problems by using spinal adjustments in order to correct spinal dysfunction, or subluxations. Chiropractic asserts that the brain and nervous system control and coordinate all the body's functions in part through nerve branches that exit from the spinal cord between the vertebrae. Some Chiropractors infer a causal relationship between nerve interference or compression at the spine and subsequent problems in more distant parts or organ systems regulated by the nerve.
Practitioners of chiropractic are called chiropractors or chiropractic physicians. In the United States they receive the degree Doctor of Chiropractic, (D.C.) and commonly refer to themselves as doctor. Chiropractors are licensed in all jurisdictions of the United States of America, in addition to many other countries throughout the world. There is some limited objective clinical data or peer-reviewed research that demonstrates efficacy to certain chiropractic therapies. Chiropractic claims to be effective in the treatment of back and neck pain, headaches, and other symptoms that chiropractic views of spine-related conditions (although some medical science often disagrees with these assumptions). |

This information is not helpful for treating people who live too far from a NAET practitioner or who may not be able to afford care. As the doctor states on page 28, "This book will teach you how to test yourself and locate your problem. STEPS OF TREATMENT ARE NOT GIVEN HERE BECAUSE THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS BOOK. NAET TRAINING IS LIMITED TO ACTIVELY LICENSED MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS ONLY" The title should be, Say Good-Bye to Illness-See One Of Our Doctors. What a pity, the doctor had an opportunity to help millions of people in her book. If the kinesiology or accupressure portion of her technique works and I suspect it does in a percentage of the people, most lay people could apply it. The companion book to this one, The NAET Guide Book is of absolutely of no help as a guide book to the self help person either. As the doctor states in the Preface, "The purpose of this book is to help practitioners who treat patients with__NAET and patients who undergo NAET treatments." Just as dissapointing as in Say Good-Bye To Illness in the respect that there is no hint of the secret treatments. I believe that I am one of several thousand people who may have bought these books looking for a glimmer of hope for a loved one. Unfortunately what is cloacked as a self-help book written with the lay person in mind is disapointing in that respect. This is not to discourage those who may seek out NAET care as it appears from the testimonials it helps many conditions.
