I'd like to meet:

Around 2000 years ago the baby Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem. This blessed event would have been looked upon quite differently if seen from a medical perspective. Let us examine some so-called "modern" thinking about this event.
What a big risk our Heavenly Father took when He sent His Son to us in the way He did. First of all, the Virgin Mary was much to young to bear such an important child. Plus, no tests were performed to see if she was even capable of carrying the child full term. Also, Mary was not adequately prepared. She attended no birthing classes, did not practice her breathing, nor did she read up on the birth process.
It should also be noted that some safety procedures were ignored during this pregnancy. I mean, no blood tests were done, no obstetric examinations, no ultra sound, or even the listening and monitoring of the child's heart beat. And surely, for such an important baby, an amniocentesis should have been done! Not even the proper regime of vitamins were given to the mother for her nutrition. When you think about it, we're taking a major risk here.
And just think of the terrible conditions for the birth itself. Certainly that stable was not sterile. And with all those animals in the same room it's a wonder there wasn't a major infection. Not even simple clean sheets, or a surgical masks for the three Wise Men were used. And I'm quite sure that Mary was not on the proper delivery table with her feet in the stirrups.
If that's not bad enough, common medical practice was ignored from this point on. Certainly an important woman like Mary should have been given some pain relievers or a spinal block to help ease her discomfort. Of course an episiotomy should have been called for to help out. I'll bet that a set of clamps weren't even available in case of need. Not to mention the lack of fetal monitoring equipment in case an emergency cesarean was required. I mean this whole procedure sounds like a nightmare.
From this point it still got worse. No surgical instruments to cut the cord, no silver nitrate for the baby's eyes, no fetal intensive care unit, no alcohol rubs, no temperature control cubicles, no suction of the child's nose or throat, none of the modern safety precautions that should have been used.
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced this entire procedure was a menace to the mother and child. Someone should be liable for mal-practice in a case like this. With the state of things as they were, I'll bet the child Jesus never even got His required vaccinations!
I don't know,... but if it were up to modern medicine, this should have been done much differently.
God sure took a big chance.....
... or just maybe we need to rethink the things we think are necessary, and stop interfering with normal God-given miracles.
Something to think about ............................................................

Remember at all times that what you think and what you do affects other people. In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for every one. -Eckhart Tolle.

Healing occurs from above, down, inside out.
What?
A slip on the snowy sidewalk, in winter, is a small thing. It happens to millions.
A fall from a ladder, in the summer, is a small thing. That also happens to millions.
The slip or fall produces a subluxation(hard bone pinching a soft nerve). The subluxation is a small thing.
The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve. That pressure is a small thing.
The pressure cuts off the flow of mental impulses. That decreased flowing is a small thing.
That decreased flowing produces a dis-eased body and brain. That is a big thing to that man.
Multiply that man by a thousand, and you shape the physical and mental welfare of a city.
Multiply that man by a million and you shape the physical and mental destiny of a State.
Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation.
Now comes a man. Any one man is a small thing.
This man gives an adjustment (Chiropractic removal of hard bone pinching a soft nerve). The adjustment is a small thing.
The adjustment replaces the subluxation. That is a small thing.
The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves. That is a small thing.
The released pressure restores health to a man. That is a big thing to that man.
Multiply that well man by a thousand, and you step up physical and mental welfare of a city.
Multiply that well man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a State.
Multiply that well man by one hundred thirty million, and you have produced a healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity.
So, adjustment of the subluxation, to release pressure upon nerves, to restore mental impulse flow, to restore health, is big enough to rebuild thoughts and actions of the world.
The idea that knows cause, that can correct cause of dis-ease, is one of the biggest ideas known. Without it, nations fall; with it, nations rise.
The idea is the BIGGEST I know of. - Dr. B.J. Palmer.

Chiropractic colleges are bound to fulfill the 4200 classroom hours standard which has been decided by the Council on Chiropractic Education(CCE). CCE has had offical status with the U.S.Department of Education since 1974, and is the sole accrediting agency for chiropractic education in the US. A sample curriculum for an accredited chiropractic college in North America appears below.

This sample curriculum has more classroom hours in anatomy and neurology than a curriculum of the general medical college, while it has less hours in internal medicine, surgery & pharmacy. The total hours of chiropractic sciences are 1032 hrs. which amount only for 25 % of all classroom hours(4200 hrs). Continuing Education is required yearly by State.

Having a chiropractic adjustment turns on the switch of Power to your body, just like an energy circuit breaker that previously blew a fuse. It feels like tuning into a radio station, where before it was static and with a slight adjustment it is clear. "It's like looking through the lens of a camera, the image can be a little “fuzzy†and, with one slight twist of the lens, can become crystal clear. For me, a quotation can do the same, in that the words can bring an idea to life. It’s like, “Wow, that’s how I feel, but I never thought of it quite that way.†- Mac Anderson.

I am a Chiropractor.
I look toward the spine for the cause of dis-ease.
I acknowledge the body's inborn ability to heal itself.
I understand that our nervous system transmits
the life-force "POWER" to all our bodily tissues.
I approach the body, mind and spirit as a whole.
I use only my hands to remove the nerve interference
which encourages the body to express
itself to its' fullest potential.
I am a teacher of life to my patients
yet never claim to be a healer.
I am scientifically educated, yet never
claim to be smarter than the body.
I can influence all diseases with the use of only my hands,
yet never claim to treat any specifically.
I understand my limitations, yet never
claim to accept them.
I believe in love and sharing it with all
whom I encounter.
I believe in miracles and in the "POWER"
that creates them.
I believe in the hope of restoring life,
where there was only death.
I believe that with the same hands that we
use to destroy, we can heal.
I am a Chiropractor.Victor Naumov D.C.
