Today we’re talking about how medical doctors have said not to go to chiropractors because they’re quacks or unscientific or it’s a cult. I’d like to give you some history behind where all of that came from and the legal roots.

Regular Glucosamine and Chondroitin Intake Can EXTEND YOUR  Life! The online version of the  American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has published the first study proving that regular intake of dietary supplements of either glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate significantly reduce mortality risk. Individuals age 50-76 who took either glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate at least four days a week for at least three years reduced their risk of death by 17%.  The results were statistically significant.  Both of these nutrients are well known for their ability to support joint health and tissue rejuvenation.  Less well promoted are the ability of these nutrients to promote healthier cardiovascular/arterial structure as well as acting as inflammation regulators.
