What a strange title you may say. What has Chiropractic got to do with gun crime? On first thougths you may think none whatsoever, but let us look a little deeper into it.
A few short days ago, I was reading articles about the teenagers in the USA who go into the community and start shooting! One was entitled "He murdered a friend after taking this drug!" courtesy of Dr Mercola. We hear these stories in the News now, and we almost switch off to them, they are becoming so common. The article that I was reading linked these teenagers by the medications that they had been taking. They had ALL, either been on anti-depressants or were coming off them. So is this increase of teenagers opening fire due to depression or the anti-depressants that they are taking?
Then I got to thining about someone that I have treated Chiropractically. He was seriously depressed. Now I am NOT saying that he came to see me to treat his depression, he sought treatment because he was in pain. However because his pain was dealt with, his depression went too!
After several weeeks of treatment, when he was feeling better, I asked him how his depression had had an effect on his family life. He said "my children would watch me come down the stairs and say to each other 'he's in a bad mood, let's get out of here' and they would go out! Our family life was nil! I didn't want to go out and play football with my young son, nor take my wife shopping, in fact I would give her money to go out so I could be left in peace!" Now the only thing that depresses me is the fact that I took so long to see a McTimoney Chiropractor and get my life back!
Today I saw the News, this time of a shooting in Tolouse, France, 4 killed including 2 children. I wonder if the gun-man was taking an anti-depressant? We will probably never hear, but my heart goes out to all those peolpe who have suffered because their loved one was prescribed medication rather than seek Chiropractic treatment for the root cause!
