Cholesterol Credit

A carbon credit is a term used for a permit representing the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide.

Shall we have some fun? Lets define a Cholesterol Credit as a term for a permit representing the right for you to enjoy some cholesterol-rich food. A double-thick milkshake, a T-bone steak, egg and chips or a cheese burger. A beer or two...

Carbon Credits

1. To assist developing countries in achieving sustainable development whilst contributing to the ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is to prevent dangerous climate change.

Clean blood vessels Mechanism

Cholesterol Credit

Just as certain countries (that shall remain nameless) that have refused to sign the Kyoto-Carbon-emissions-Protocol (remember George Bush?), you can refuse to sign the Chiropractic-Help-Cholesterol-Protocol. Many people do - and die ten or more years before their time.

The Kyoto Protocol is about saving the planet without inhibiting development. The Cholesterol Protocol is about saving your life without unduly inhibiting your overall enjoyment of food. Get it?

PURPOSE of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

So, for example, a coal-fired generating company in the developed world might buy carbon credits from a forestation company in the developing world.

PURPOSE of the Clean Artery Mechanism (CAM)

Cholesterol Credit

So to satisfy your cholesterol-fired love of a chocolate milkshake in the afternoon you have to buy cholesterol credits by making a smoothie for breakfast. What could be easier, and tastier? How long does it take to peel an orange and a banana, de-pip and slice of cantaloupe and pull the stalks out of six strawberries and drop them into the blender with a slosh of yoghurt? No sure now, but if you are desperate, perhaps a teaspoon of RAW HONEY. If you can find it.

From the CHIROPRACTIC COALFACE

I start to get anxious when patients are taking more than 10 analgesics per week. Ever seen the Kidney Olympics on TV? Athletes who have lost both kidneys, in the main (so said the medical specialist after the programme), to OTC painkillers. ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUGS ...

Mr P was swallowing bucketfuls of pills. Around 50 per week.

After a serious upper neck fracture, one tries to avoid manipulation in the Chiropractic management of headaches, but no conservative treatment had helped. Eventually I adjusted his neck. One treatment fixed his headaches, and I never touched his neck again.

Until two weeks ago. Mr P is now 61. He has high blood pressure. Two years ago he had a heart attack and had a stent fitted. He's on blood thinners... coupled with an old upper cervical fracture that puts him into a high risk category for a Chiropractic Iatrogenic Illness - a stroke.

MR P was standing on a chair, reaching into a cupboard, when one leg (of the chair!) broke. He fell heavily, smashing the LEFT side of his head on the way to the ground against a heavy door. After trying all else, he searched for my name on the internet. Had I returned from our sojourn in the Netherlands? Yes!

Several features were significant:

• His blood pressure was reasonably well controlled with medication. 140/85.

• The Wallenburg test which suggests an artery in the neck was seriously compromised was negative and he reported no vertigo (dizziness).

• Rotation of his neck provoked right upper cervical pain.

• The RIGHT side of his head was extremely tender. (Remember, he cracked the LEFT side against the door.)

• The right TMJ (jaw joint) was fixated with an excruciatingly painful trigger points in the RIGHT Temporalis muscle and the External Pterygoid muscle.

But, but, but... Mr P is a very high risk patient for neck manipulation. Two treatments of the jaw joint, and the activator for his neck brought no relief whatsoever. What he needed was a Chiropractic adjustment. Did I dare? We discussed the matter fully, and he agreed that we should proceed. Were we rushing in where angels fear to tread? Possibly.

Mr P was dizzy for five minutes after the adjustment of his neck. Fortunately there was no nystagmus, a sign of something more serious and after fifteen minutes he was able to drive home. Nor was he nauseous but for several hours he felt fragile. And then the headache lifted.

I probably won't adjust his neck again. It's no longer fixated and this fool is staying well away! Instead we use a mobilising protocol for his neck, we work on his jaw joint and the muscles of the neck, we stretch and I've encouraged him to make his own HOME TRACTION UNIT ...you can make it yourself.
The pain on the side of his head has gone completely, but he still has mild upper neck pain. Mr P's case is an interesting and challenging one - as are many in the health domain. Yes, there is risk with Chiropractic care, just as there is with Medicine and invariably one finds oneself weighing different options. The danger of bucket-loads of pills versus the danger of the Chiropractic adjustment. IATROGENIC ILLNESS ... the danger of pills. About 200 000 Americans die every year from the adverse effects of medication. CHIROPRACTIC Iatrogenic Illness ... about 1/ 6million neck manipulations causes a stroke.
