Today on the news we hear more about Ponzi schemes, named after Charles Ponzi, who became notorious for using the technique after immigrating to America in 1903. He did not invent the technique, but brought it to attention here in the United States. It simply is a scheme that pays investors from their own money, or more commonly, from the continuing flow of subsequent investors.
In other words, the problem gets bigger and bigger, requiring more investors to satisfy the previous ones need for a “return”.
This sounds like a lot of my patients and their symptoms. Any time someone begins a medication, they are entering a Ponzi scheme in their body. A medication has never been invented, and never will be, that actually fixes the body. It is always altering an expression of the body when the body isn’t functioning properly. And every medication has effects on the body that alters normal function(s), desired or undesired (side effects).
So with every medication, another is eventually needed to alter the “side” effects of the previous medication, and the downward spiral continues. I commonly have patients entering my office on 6 – 10 medications, sometimes more! This is unbelievable to someone who promotes health and wellness.
For those of you who have symptoms with your body, the only real answers will come from actions that truly create health and restore normal function, not just changing symptoms.
Chiropractic is one of the few health interventions that helps create and restore health to the body.
