An article in the Ventura County Star on March 1, 2009 really caught my attention. The headine says “Health Plan Changes Can Deny Senior’s Medication” The article explains how some senior citizens are running into trouble getting their medication paid for by Medicare. It profiles a woman who lives locally existing on a $1,000 a month. The problem she faces, however, is that she takes about 20 different drug presciptions!

This definitely is an unfortuate circumstance that is shared by many, many people in this country. I don’t know how we will solve the insurance/health care crisis, especially when the United States consumes 75% of all prescription drugs manufactured on the planet.

My purpose is to help you AVOID toxic medications and unnecessary surgical procedures. Doesn’t it make sense to do everything you can NOW to prevent health problems from occuring later on in life? Don’t you think the lady in the article wishes now she had taken better care of herself so she wasn’t in this position of needing 20 different medications now to live….and what kind of life is she really living? I don’t think she is really enjoying her days too much now as works to restore her health now. (And those pills aren’t helping her restore her health, they are treating the symptoms of ill health).

One of the things you should be doing now is to safeguard your health with regular spinal adjustments to remove the pressure from nerve structures in the body. Your nervous system controls EVERY FUNCTION! in your body. If you have a hard bone (vertebra) from your spine resting on a soft nerve that goes to your heart, your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, etc., etc., those organs cannot function optimally and, therefore, your body does not function optimally! Lack of symptoms does not mean you have no nerve interference! Do not ignore this vitally important health practice and expect to be “bailed out” in the future by the drug companies.

True health is never achieved from a drug injection or surgical procedure. If you are having any type of back pain, don’t simply hide it with drugs or try to fix it with a risky surgery. Don’t put off paying for your health now as it will cost you more in the future if you don’t take care of it now. Call now and let’s work on the cause of your pain not the symptoms.See you soon?

Yours for health, naturally, Dr. Steven Alff, D.C.
