Thousands of medical reports have been examined, the numbers have been tallied, and the conclusion is sobering: the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States.

The medical profession and the media have always claimed that the leading causes of death, for both men and women, are heart disease and cancer. Records show us that in 2001 cancer claimed 553,251 lives, with heart disease in the lead with 699,697 attributed deaths. But when medical reports were more closely examined, analysts found that 783,936 deaths—in a single year–were directly related to medical care misdiagnosis and carelessness.

Never before has a complete overview of the medical field been examined where medicine related deaths have been combined and totaled. Here are some of the horrific results derived from a one-year period:

• Adverse Drug Reactions: 106,000 people dead with $12 billion in expenses.
• Medical errors: 98,000 dead with $2 billion in expenses.
• Bedsores leading to other complications: 115,000 dead with $55 billion in expenses.
• Hospital acquired infections: 88,000 dead with $5 billion in expenses.
• Outpatient mishaps: 199,000 people dead with $77 billion in expenses.
• Unnecessary Procedures: 37,136 people dead with$122 billion in expenses.
• Surgery-Related complications: 32,000 people dead with $9 billion in expenses.

Dr. Jason, what our healthcare system doesn’t tell you is that the human body is a powerful entity, designed to heal itself during times of illness or disorder. The spine plays a very important role in this process. If spinal vertebrae are misaligned, malfunctions and health disorders can arise. That’s why it’s so important to receive regular chiropractic adjustments. 

More importantly, chiropractic adjustments are safe and involve no medicine or radical invasive procedures. In fact, it’s one of the safest and healthiest forms of care available. If you are dealing with a health problem, or are just feeling ‘under the weather’, consider chiropractic care before you put your life in the hands of the number one killer in America.

Yours in health,
Jason Goldstein, DC
