Core Products Adds Their Product Line to Chiropractic Depot
According to their website, "Core Products International, Inc. was founded in 1988 with the idea that therapeutic products should be comfortable to wear and use. It all started with Phil Mattison’s sore neck, which drove him to see a chiropractor. Upon learning his discomfort stemmed from an improper sleeping position, Phil worked with his chiropractor to develop a new kind of spinal-support pillow." The Core Products line includes a full range of products from support pillows to back rests, cushions, belts, braces and much more. Chiropractic patients will be able to purchase Core Product items directly from their doctor's website from their Chiropractic Depot. When a purchase is made, the doctor will receive a commission from each sale. Core Products is one of a growing list of companies adding their products to be sold on Chiropractic Depot. Chiropractic Depot is available for Doctors with the new Now You Know “Premium Plus” package. If you already have a NYK website or services, you can easily upgrade to the Premium Plus package. If you have another website service, in most cases you can transfer the unique information on your site to a new NYK site. To find out about Now You Know services, and getting a NYK website, please go to www.nowyouknow.net.

New Media Prejudice Against Chiropractic Obvious
Such is the case with research that came out last month in a "medical" research publication, the Journal of Human Hypertension. This research which was conducted by medical researchers at the University of Chicago hypertension center showed that patients under chiropractic care had a drastic reduction in blood pressure. According to lead researcher, Dr. George Bakris, "This procedure has the effect of not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination." This research is stunning! It should be considered earth shaking! It should have appeared in all news outlets. However, it only appeared on WebMD, Earth Times, and a host of foreign newspapers in India, Pakistan, and a few in Britain and Canada. It seems that the US news outlets believe that Americans are not interested in groundbreaking research that shows how to reduce blood pressure without side effects. The question that begs to be asked is, How much does the drug advertising money effect the editorial judgment of news services and publications? This transparent lack of responsible journalism just shows how much big drug money can influence what should be autonomous news. Obviously, if the news is not backed by big bucks, it's "hear no chiropractic, see no chiropractic, speak no chiropractic!" An example of this possible prejudice can be seen by looking up a Google release on chiropractic where it shows a headline for the Chicago Daily Herald, IL on Apr 23, 2007. This Google news headline lists a story that starts "BY SUSAN STEVENS. Then patient after patient returned from a chiropractor with relief from low back pain - and their blood pressure improved, too. ..." The link to this story should go to the story, but instead goes to a page that says, "The story you have selected is no longer available. Please search our archives." (follow original link here) In searching the archives the story can be found at: http://www.dailyherald.com/search/searchstory.asp?id=305203 A small consolation is that over 130 thousand patients of NYK doctors got this news as the lead story in the April issue of the NYK Newsletter.
