What's everybody? Welcome to another episode of Resolution podcast. Today is gonna be a really good story. Um, we are gonna talk about a few things. We're gonna talk about stroke and chiropractic care, and a lot of people ask me like, oh, I'm scared. Like I was actually on the news today, this morning, and they sort of on the side, I asked me, I was like, you know, you should come check the, she like, I really want. Come get checked out. But I'm scared. I'm scared, you know, I'd see people dying, this and that. So there's a lot of stuff going around news, so I just want to kind of put it together, make sure everybody understands what it's about, what's going on. Um, um, what is a stroke in chiropractic? What are the odds? What's gonna happen? How does it happen? What happens? So, number one, I wanna put some facts in order. And these are like stuff that's published in articles and is peer reviewed. Any other doctor telling their opinion, I don't care because this is a fact. Okay? It's not opinion. It's not like a, maybe this is, this is a pure fact. So chiropractic is one of the safest, probably the safest medical treatment out there. Why just compare on a basic level of money to money? How does you guys all know how car insurance works? Right? The more dangerous you are, you pay. All right. Chiropractic, medical malpractice insurance works the same. The more dangerous, sure you pay more. So a neurosurgeon pays hundreds of thousands of dollars. Uh, a OB GY that delivers babies and sub pays. Little bit less than a brain surgeon, but weighs and it pays a lot of money, this and that. In a medical world that as just like MD world, the lowest form of specialty is primary care, and they pays somewhere in the realm of 20 to $40,000 a year as a chiropractor for millions of dollars of coverage. I paid $1,300 a year the whole year. 13 or 1600, I forgot. I think it started, it started out 13. Now it goes up as you kind of, they start you up a little bit and then they go up by about couple hundred and then this stays there. Um, so because that first, first grad can't really afford it, this and this and that, so they make a little bit cheaper. Um, somewhere, let's say $1,600 worse. I don't even know. It's so nominal. I don't even know what I pay. It's on a, it's on a re. Okay, so let's say $1,600 for millions of dollars of coverage, 61,600, not$16,000 a year, $1,600 for the year. That means that I, it's the safest form because if. If it was dangerous, then all these medical malpractice insurance company would charge me a lot more because it wouldn't make sense for them to get sued left and right and only charge $1,600. Okay, so just money to money. You can see how it's the safest. Just because the fact that they don't charge more, and that means the primary care, what they do is more dangerous than I do, even though all they do is write prescription. Those prescription have a worse, have a bigger side effect than what I do. Aspirin kills thousands of people, maybe hundreds of thousands of people every year. Aspirin, you can get that over the counter and it kills hundreds of thousands of people. So I want you to understand. These things are, you know, you see one example on tv, some lady unfortunately is bad, like, oh man, or whatever, you had a stroke. But here's what the research says. The research says that the odds of getting a stroke with a chiropractic adjustment is so little. You have better chance of getting hit by lighten., okay. You have a better chance of getting in a car accident. So if you're not scared of a car accident or dying at a lightnings, this and that, then this is so nominal. It's very rare we. Millions of adjustments across the world and past 10 years, you might have found two, but you know how many people die under surgery? How many people die from opioid epidemic? 70 per 70% of all heroin users started off with prescription meds. And that's just heroin users. I'm not talking about other users, other, other, um, other issues other. Um, uh, other chemicals that people get addicted to. 70% of all heroin users started off with prescription meds. That's really huge guys. Again, it is killing people left and right, but what they do is they use one example of somebody unfortunately getting aro and they brush all the car by saying car packed kill. And that's incorrect. That's not right. That's not factual. And that's for the, that's bad for the patients. That means that the patient is gonna, what are they gonna do? They have back pain. What do they have to do? What are you gonna give 'em? Opioids. And it's gonna kill 'em for sure. And you take one example, one person and brush the whole thing and scare people half to death where they go and. Aspirin, Advil, whatever, whatever. Okay, so you understand that. What is the facts here? So you don't fall, you know that that's how these, there's a whole, um, you know, I don't, I don't want to be a conspiracy. There is, but you guys can understand that we have a whole medical system where these, uh, big pharma is trying to sell, sell their. And they'd rather you eat their pills rather than come get naturally get fixed. Because if it's a chemical problem, if one leg is shorter than the other side and that's causing you back pain, I don't care how many Advil you take, you're never gonna get better if your neck is stuck. I don't care how many Advil you put, but you're not missing a chemical in your. you're missing a, a structural issue. It's a mechanical problem. You cannot fix nine times outta 10 as you maybe almost more, most often, always. You cannot fix a mechanical problem chemically. If it's a chemical problem, then you can fix it chemically. But if your bone is stuck, then you have to fix a mechanical, whether that's chiropractic, whether that's, uh, surgery. It's a mechanical problem that has to be fixed me mechanically.. Now I'm gonna talk about how I've come across so many situations, so many people, so many patients throughout the years. The first time I remember, um, and I did a video on this and I don't have my recommendation to show you that the medical director mentioned this in so many words, but I'm gonna tell you what I did was I was at a university based hospital and, um, had a patient come to me and after getting checked, By the MD and the MD checks them out and sends them to the right doctor based on their, um, their, their issue. So it had a blow back pain. Chiropractor sees them if it's a mechanical low back pain. So came to me right across, I sat right next to me, I said, oh, what's going on? I have back pain. I got in a car accident, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. I said, cool, cool, cool. Um, alright. Well, I was looking at her low back. I said, anything else you wanna tell me? She was like, yeah, every time I look up my right eye goes black. I said, excuse me? He's like, yeah, yeah. I was like, can you do it now? She's like, yeah, look, I. Right. Eyes going back. She's like, yeah. I said, well, it sounds like um, we need to look at this asap and I'm gonna send you to the ER right now. And this is pretty serious, but I wanna scare you. You know, I never like to scare Paige. I want to make sure they're calm, but I'm gonna send 'em to the ER and get checked out. Went to the er, the ER calls us back saying she was this close for getting a stroke and losing her right eye, the one of the arteries to her. Was was clogged. And imagine if I put my hand on her low back and caused a stroke. I mean, as she was driving, she got a str, she was having a stroke as she was driving. Basically, as she arrived there, imagine I, I said, okay, yeah, let's go on my table. And she got a stroke on my table. It'd be over for me. It'd be over for me. I'll be all the news. I'll get fired, I'll get this and this and that. But even though the primary care checked her out and sent her to. Right. I saved a lot of people's license that day. I saying the the primary care's license. I saved my own license. I saved the reputation of the university hospital. I saved my own profession's reputation. I saved a lot. The, they finally hired a, a chiropractor at a medical school institution and at first he causes a stroke. It'd be over for my reputation. I don't think I could ever come back from that. Right? So I got lucky. Well, I got lucky. Even though the MD should have done his, his. Right. He should have done a job, but he didn't. And that's what happens. And, and again, it's, it's up to me to figure out is my license online? But he almost screwed up, but it would've been the chiropractor's fault anyway. Right? So that's what I'm trying to tell you guys is complicated, right? So I want you to understand that. just because it caused a stroke there. And here's what the research says. Research says that if you get a stroke outta car, back office is equivalent to getting same stroke at a primary care's office. That means the person was already supposed to have a stroke and at a primary care office, the primary care could be like, Hey, turn to the right and. And then bust an artery. Or I can, at my, you know, table, I do a neck adjustment or any other adjustment, I could bust an artery, right? But it was already, the artery was atherosclerotic. That means it was already hardened and it was gonna happen. But unfortunately it happened at the primary care's office. While he was, she, he or she goes coughing or at my office while they were. Okay, so I want you to understand it's not scary, and I'm not trying to say this as a, I'm just straight up just telling you facts. You wanna believe it, don't believe it. Go and take your pills if you don't believe me. All right? Go get your surgery if you don't believe me. But that's what the facts are. That's what it is. And, and, and, and from a perspective, I just talked to you about money, perspective of how malpractice insurance works. These big core persons, they're enough for the money. If we weren't dangerous, they would charge me., that's a fact. They know they, they're looking at the stats and we are not dangerous. And they will cover us through millions, I think two or $3 million for $1,600 a year. What is that a month? Like $1,200, $120, $110 a month for $110 a month. They willing to cover me two to $3 million or maybe two to 4 million. Okay. It's complicated. I, I think it was 4 million actually, the tops of it. So I want you to understand that. Um, let's see. Somebody right here is, um, but her, uh, yeah, so she didn't. Tell the motor vehicle about her eye. I'm not sure what that means, but, but basically she, she went to the primary care for low back pain and after a car accident and, um, came and told me about the same stuff that she told the primary care and the primary care didn't ask about her neck and didn't ask about anything else. And luckily I said, anything else you wanna general tell me? She's like, yeah, you know what? Every time I look up my right eye goes black and I, I happen to catch a. As she was going to the hospital while she getting there, she was having a stroke. So luck that we saved her eye. We saved her life. God knows what else we saved. I saved myself. I saved the institution of the university. I saved the other medical doctors, licensing and gone to court and this was all, I lose my job. There's a lot of stuff, but it just, she was supposed to have a short, luckily I didn't put one finger on her. I just talked to her, sent her out. Get it evaluated at the er. So that being said, I want you to understand that that's just why I've gotten another one. So many people like that where, um, people come in for chest pain, they go to their doctor, the doctor couldn't figure out sensitive to me, and I'm like, I'm checking out their, you know, I'm palpating around and I go into arpa. I'm like, what are those lumps happen to be breast.. They send me patients that has a breast cancer metastasize. I send 'em out. Unfortunately, I have to be the one telling, yeah, look at this. You know, we have to look into that. Send to a specialist oncologist for. Uh, for evaluation. Um, I've called so many people like that. I can't even tell you countless of people where I call. I found throat cancer. My own mother. I found, um, I tell you a story on my own mom. Um, I was in I think 30 year car back school. Car back school where I went to school, university, a bridge. They train you like primary care. So basically what happened was I go to, they taught me how to do a throat exam. It was just that. So is that okay? They were like, yeah, when you go home, practice on your relatives. Like, okay, okay. I bring my mom in. Mom, let me just say I'm doing my throat exam, this and that. I'm like, what is that lump? She's like, no, nothing. I just got a physical. I'm fine. I said, no, you might want to get checked out. Send it to the doctor. The primary care touches, I can't feel it because obviously I'm a, well, I was, I was training to be a chiropractor. I wasn't even a doctor then. She comes back, she's like, the doctor said it's nothing. I, I'll touch it again. I was like, no, it's definitely something there. And sent her back. The doctor looks at it and said, look, I just touched it. I examined it twice. There's nothing on there. If it's still there, I'll send you to a specialist. Two months later, she goes back, I, I go touch it again. I'm like, yeah, it's still there. Two months later I thought, maybe it's a lymph node or something. I sent her back and they check out. My specialist, the specialist said it's nothing. She comes back and, but I check her out. I say, look, you need the ultrasound. Just get an ultrasound. So a month or two later, they set the tour. If it, if it's still, you still feel something in your throat, come back a month or two later. She goes back a month or two after that. They don't feel like, they say, all right, let's do the ultrasound. They do the ultrasound. The ultrasound take. My mom goes, do you see something? The technician goes like this. Um, no, no, it's fine. I don't really see anything but we'll let the doctor kind of look at it. She comes back to me, she's yelling at me. Rea, you not a doctor yet. You, you're not this. Now what do you know about the throat? You guys deal with the spine. What do you know about the throat? You wasting my time. I've been going back about these two doctors examining me three times, four times. You wasting my time. She was so upset with. I don't, I don't, I don't blame her. I mean, I was like, you know, she went three, four times and even the ultrasound technician was like, I don't really see anything. As she was sort of doing it and literally a week later she gets a report. Yeah, there's a big nodule thing and that needs to be looked at every six months. That could turn out cancers. Thankfully it was benign, but my uncle had a throat cancer, so we need to, based on that, we need to make monitor that. Boom right there. And she was just, she took the report. She was like, she told, my mom was like, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're right. There was a problem there. And all these doctors missed it to a point where I sent it to them, I marked it with a pen. I was like, Bing, boom. Just touch your, they wouldn't be able to feel, they couldn't feel it unless it's pulling out. I mean, they had to wait until, what if you had to wait until my mom gets a bulge out of her throat for them to kind of. I mean, you starts off small. Thankfully I caught it small For her I call it was tiny. But why can I see it in a primary care and a throat specialist? A throat specialist, they should be able to be like, beep, beep. Oh yeah, I feel that. And it was really sad situation. But um, thankfully we kind of saved that. So that's the old story guys. I want you to understand that chiropractic is not dangerous. Chiropractic saves a lot of people's lives from different perspectives. Honestly. People get surgeries, injections, take medication, the kidney goes out, the liver goes out, blah, blah, blah. A lot of stuff happens. So long story short. Chiropractic, uh, chiropractic care will help you a lot. Don't be scared. Look up reviews, but anybody you know, just it's a, it is a technical job. I'm not right here sitting pres writing prescriptions. Here I am. It's a technical job. There's bad dentists. There are good dentists. There are bad surgeons. There are good surgeons. There are bad car bikes. They're good car bikes. You look up reviews due to your due diligence right now. Easy to find the right car bike. They just look up reviews. See if they have 30, 40, I have two, 300 reviews or something like that. Mine's pretty much all five stars, you know? And so look, look at reviews and based on that criteria, maybe word of mouth and ask people around. People find good car buys as plenty around. So if you live near there and you know, if you don't live near DMV or Atlanta that you can't see me, then um, check out. Um, other people around you don't live with pain. It's unnecessary. One or two visits, you feel great. So, but I always say I'm the number one chiropractor in the dmv and if your back is hurting, come see me, . So that's my thing, and I want you to understand that. It's important to get checked out on a regular basis. I would, I go to a chiropractor. I have, I have a couple chiropractors working for me. I get adjusted once a month as a maintenance. I don't, you don't have to fall apart to go see a chiropractor. You can go get evaluated and go every few months as a maintenance just so you go to dentist as a maintenance, you go primary care as a maintenance. You should go to a car back as a maintenance cuz it's, again, you sit in front of computers, your hunch over. Hump on your back, hump on your neck. You got a sci down, your leg got tingling, numb down your arm, headaches going up. You gotta make sure you address that before things get worse. And that's the key.
