I was in for a heap of surprises when I started investigating Chiropractics. In fact I didn't really think of Chiropractor as a man who could diagnose, or even recognize any but the well known child's ailments that show up in the form of skin rashes. How wrong can you be?

At first I just took Dr. Radin's ads. But those little columns under the heading "Your Health" have to be proof read, and no matter how much wool gathering I may be doing, some of it is bound to seep through!

What followed was curiosity, conversation with the author, and a final genuine respect for him as a person and Chiropractic Physician as well.

It must be much easier to rub a fat back, and, then it is on the other hand, much harder to manipulate a heavy person on the treatment table. But I don't believe that Dr. Radin takes either one of the above into consideration when he becomes concerned about obesity. He is profoundly interested because plain old excess "lard" is unhealthy.

I have talked to Dr. Radin, and I have talked to some very enthusiastic patients of his. I have come to believe that he can help overweights to lose more pounds easier than any other way I have found. He doesn't have any miracle drug, but on the other hand you don't have to fracture your sacroiliac with strenuous exercises. I am not prepared to explain it here, even though I know what it's all about, but Dr. Radin could explain it to you much better than I.
