JUST RELEASED – the top ten states for taking prescriptions:
West Virginia is the highest at 17.2 prescriptions per year, PER PERSON. Followed by Missouri at 15.9; they also have the highest tobacco use and highest levels of arthritis. Next comes Tennessee at 15.8, along with the highest level of obesity and adult arthritis.
I was surprised that California came in at the second lowest at 7.4 per person (I still think that is way too high). Then again as stated before, for every one dollar spent on Alternative care, 40 dollars less are spent on pharmaceuticals — California has the highest number of alternative care practitioners.
We have seen in our office many patients reduce or eliminate many of their medication while under care with Chiropractic Cranial. While we NEVER recommend anyone stop or reduce their meds from a legal and ethical standpoint; when the body is working better it does not need outside chemicals.
As a friend and long-time fitness advocate Bob Delmontique used to tell me, “The brain is the greatest apothecary in the world”. That means that your brain can produce or make other parts of the body produce ANY chemical (natural drug) the body needs.
Here at Wellness 22, our goal is for your body to be working at optimum levels, from the top down, inside out!
