1918 Flu Epidemic and Chiropractic Care: The 3 Great Survival Factors
Michael Dolan of Dolan Chiropractic in Santa Rosa, California, shared an interesting piece of information with us regarding chiropractors. In the midst of the overwhelming media coverage that often spreads fear, anxiety, and depression about the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is wise to take a closer look at the positive aspects of previous influenza events.
“Chiropractors got fantastic results with influenza patients while those under medical care died like flies all around.” “Statistics reflect a most amazing, almost miraculous state of affairs. The medical profession was practically helpless with the flu victims but chiropractors seemed able to do no wrong.”
“In Davenport, Iowa, 50 medical doctors treated 4,953 cases, with 274 deaths. In the same city, 150 chiropractors including students and faculty of the Palmer School of Chiropractic, treated 1,635 cases with only one death.”
“In the state of Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths – a loss of one patient out of every 15. In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were treated by chiropractors with a loss of only 6 cases – a loss of one patient out of every 789.”
This is what opened up state licensure for Chiropractors!! It’s a great reminder that our Chiropractors are Essential Health Care providers. You are our rockstars and we thank you for keeping your offices open and your patients healthy.
