Consider these excepts from a 1994 issue of the magazine Soviet Life:1
"Anatoli Gritsenko has developed a method of treatment that is new to the Soviet Union.
"This is the story of Anatoli Gritsenko, who has introduced his own brand of chiropractics to Moscow. But first, let us hear from some of Gritsenko's patients.
"Patent M: 'Day and night, I felt a constant dull pain in one of my breasts. My doctor's diagnosis was frightening: cystoid mastopathy. I learned that almost one-third of all women experience this condition at some point in their lives. But that didn't make me feel any better, especially when my doctor sent me to an oncologist. I thought my days were numbered. But I was not seen by an oncologist, but by Gritsenko. After a few sessions, I felt much better--at least I could sleep at night. When I had my next checkup, the doctor who examined me couldn't believe I'd been classified as a mastopathy patient in my medical records. There was no sign of the problem.'
"The mother of patient P: 'When my daughter was in eighth grade, her hair suddenly started to fall out. The doctors who examined her came up with different diagnoses and prescribed dozens of different medicines. But the situation only got worse. My friends tried to calm me down, saying that my daughter might get over it as she got older. The poor thing had to take more and more medicines, including the newest drugs from other countries.'
"'Finally, I managed to get my daughter an appointment with Gritsenko. He figured out that the cause of her problem was a disruption of the endocrine system. After a month's treatment, my daughter's hair loss had stopped, and in another month her hair was back to normal.'
"Patient K: 'Whenever I remember the pain I used to feel, I get goose bumps. The doctors said it was chronic gastritis. There were times I couldn't walk. After my eighth stay in the hospital, I was written off as a hopeless case and taken home on a stretcher. It was then that I heard about Gritsenko's 'miracles' and realized that he was my last chance. Gritsenko said I had a slipped disk. Incredibly, after three sessions I was good as new. Gritsenko recommended that I jog every evening and gave me some exercises to do. I still follow the regimen religiously."
Gritsenko can also treat a host of other serious diseases: various ailments of the heart and kidneys, hernias, osteochondrosis, and so on. No wonder some specialists are rather skeptical about his method. They can't believe one man can do it all.
But the record speaks for itself. Here are some excerpts from official records documenting the results of Gritsenko's method in a number of Moscow's clinics.
"The method, used on 150 patients in the treatment of cholestasis caused by viral hepatitis B, was found to accelerate the cure by 12 to 17 days."
"The condition of two out of eight patients with an enlarged prostate improved considerably, and their sexual potency was restored."
"Noticeable improvements were observed in 43 out of 48 patients with bronchial asthma."
These and scores of other documents have been signed by prominent doctors.
Gritsenko is convinced that any malalignment in the spine results in malfunction in the organs connected with the affected section of the spine. Organ malfunction is the beginning of pathology.

Hospitals Challenged by Antimicrobial-Resistant Microorganisms
The following information, from the Journal of the American Medical Association,1 is important to know if one of your patients has been told that he/she must have surgery or be hospitalized:
"HOSPITALS WORLDWIDE are facing an unprecedented crisis due to the increasingly rapid emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms.References"Despite numerous published guidelines from respected governmental and professional groups,27-29 antimicrobial-restriction policies in many hospitals,30,31 and entreaties by colleagues, physicians continue to prescribe antimicrobials excessively and inappropriately."
