"Wrongly Accused"

Dear Editor:

As a consultant on the same project as Dr. Triano, with the same proposed rule, I too have been wrongly accused of teaching MDs to manipulate. (Editor's note: See "A Public Apology to John Triano, DC, MA" in "We Get Letters" DC, 9-22.) I heard some secondhand talk of my being a traitor, and saw my name derogatorily attached to the project in a chiropractic newspaper. I remain glad that I did not receive any death threats.

I would simply like to reinforce that there was no planned or actual DC teaching of MDs in this project, nor is there likely to be any. Our role was supposed to be simply one of consulting; in reality, there has not even been significant DC consultation in any phase of the project, including planning, execution or analysis.

Curcumin: One Nutrient, Over 20 Benefits

While there may be no “magic bullet” when it comes to health, this should not dissuade patients or practitioners from seeking out ingredients that offer multiple health benefits. When it comes to dietary supplements, there are thousands upon thousands of choices. So, why not choose one that can address pain and assist with mental health? A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.

While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
