"The Doctor of the Future will give no Medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease". This quote by Thomas Edison is dripping with brilliance and concisely outlines the philosophy of wellness at our facility. His first point is, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine." Why? Because all medicines/drugs whether prescribed, over the counter or street drugs have toxic or poisonous effects in the body. One look at the "Physicians Desk Reference" (PDR) will clearly show that all drugs have a long list of "side effects." As a result, there is a high price paid when taking drugs. Dr. Lorraine Day's (former Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital) video title states, "Drugs Never Cure Disease."

The next part of Edison's quote is, "but will interest (teach) his patients in the care of the human frame (spine)." This is where chiropractic comes in. The purpose of chiropractic is to analyze the "human frame" for subluxations (joint misalignments that can cause distortions in the nerve signals to the various body parts) and to correct those by gentle adjustments (corrections).

The final part of Edison's quote states that, in addition to interesting patients in the care of the human frame, the "doctor of the future" would also interest his patients in "diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." We fulfill this aspect of this great philosophy by teaching true and faithful principles of health, not just pushing vitamins, pills and potions. We take this area very seriously as evidenced by the workshops Dr. Pfeifer teaches; the health coaching/mentoring he does and the television, radio and seminar appearances he makes. Dr. Pfeifer feels the most important thing to realize is that each of us is responsible for our own health and the health of our children. No one need suffer from today's dreaded diseases who will take the time to prevent them.
