The Killer Flu and Chiropractic
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 02:07PM
I took this from the November 2009 newsletter written by Dr. Tedd Koren:
These are statistics from the 1918-1919 killer flu which killed millions under medical care:
- The Palmer School of Chiropractic had one death out of 1,635 cases while Iowa DCs reported 6 deaths out of 4,735 cases.
- MDs (Davenport) lost one patient out of every 15 (6,116 deaths out of 93,590 patients).
[Rhodes WR. The Official History of Chiropractic in Texas. Austin, TX: Texas Chiropractic Association. 1978 andChiropractic statistics. The Chiropractic Research and Review Service. Indianapolis, IN: Burton Shields Press. 1925.]
Once infected by a virus, why would a chiropractic patient do better than a medical patient back then?
And today, 90 years later, wouldn't the same hold true?
