I believe man has an inborn aversion to medical procedures. It is just that he does not know there is any other approach than the outside-in disease treatment avenue. Chiropractic philosophy and education is common sense. This leads to the third way in which chiropractic education promotes a positive mental attitude. It relates to health maintenance care.
Health maintenance is positive.
Disease treatment is negative. But disease prevention is also negative. It may very well be that worrying about your cholesterol level, your diet, your hardening, clogging arteries and whether you have a genetic predisposition to heart disease is more harmful than all of them put together. People who focus on disease even if it is in the area of preventing it, are still focusing on a negative. Someone once said that specialists in cancer, heart disease, etc. have a higher than usual incidence of these diseases.
