Flip to page 42 now for a list of the most commonly prescribed medications, presented by Dr. Howard Loomis.

Remember that side effects from medications most certainly are playing a role in many of your patients condition.
Also this issue, Dr. Mark Studin, Dr. Bill Owen, and Dr. Timothy Weir, make the case for what has become an all too familial' scenario. Insurance companies claiming to make decisions for their plan holders based on what they assert is evidence based decision making, while ignoring any ‘pro chiropractic’ evidence.

Keep up the great work!
