There's plenty more work to do, but in this moment, each of us can bring to mind the face of a child whose life is now better because we stood up and told the truth. That gives me goosebumps. Honoring the trust implied in our service, it's time to bring the special chiropractic touch to shine on women's health. It's time to recognize the profound impact of chiropractic, and chiropractors, on women's lives. Many D.C.s eagerly welcome recognition of women's health and they are eager to expand their know-how to include women's topics.
Women benefit from the chiropractic touch.
They benefit from the chiropractic philosophy. There were some very disturbing changes in women's health issues during 2000. A cover story in Time magazine highlighted the widespread occurrence that girls are starting puberty earlier and earlier. There is a growing movement to promote menstruation as unnatural, a nuisance and unhealthy, and a drug is being tested designed for period suppression, to be used starting in puberty. The impact of the drug has not been fully addressed, physically, mentally, emotionally or culturally and the destruction possible by interfering with the body's Innate wisdom and function has been ignored.
