I help my poor friend get some answers

I have a grade school friend that joined my school program. She just got married and is in her late 30's. She went to the doctor to have a wellness check up to have kids. She was given a big NO with some bad news. Diabetes, risk of stroke, and uterine fibroid tumors was the diagnosis.

She began taking meds for the diabetes, and trying to eat healthier, but began bleeding pretty bad from the fibroids. It got so bad she went to the ER one day. She sat there bleeding for 8 hours before they called her name. After finally taking her in and doing their 'tests' they concluded that they didn't know what was wrong, she was just going to have to deal with it, and hopefully would grow out of it. Then gave her pain meds for the pain she was experiencing.

I was in shock at how inept, once again, our medical system is. So, I immediately told her to use her insurance to find a chiropractor that practices kinesiology in her area. She did, and went the very next day. She called me afterward almost in tears of gratitude. He was able to tell her what was going on. For one, her hips were crooked, causing one leg to be shorter than the other and causing the problems she's been having with her neck and jaw. Worse is that the lower back spine bones were pinching the nerves that went to her female organs. This was the cause of her female trouble. He also informed her that she has an allergy to artificial sweetener, which she was getting from her gum. The good news is that it's fixable. And the solution is 30 visits with him.

She thanked me profusely and was so grateful that I knew what to do for her. She was shocked that there was such a great alternative that she did not even know about and is very excited for her 30 visits and continuing to work with me.
