			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know how to find a good chiropractor?  Even if you don&#8217;t ned one right now, it&#8217;s always a good idea to have a good chiropractor in your back pocket. I can tell you from personal experience that you don&#8217;t want to be interviewing possible doctors when you can&#8217;t even stand up straight!</p>
<p>The first place to start is to ask friends and relatives if they have a chiropractor that&#8217;s really good. Once you have some names to start from, then you need to start doing your own research.</p>
<p>Here are some things that can help you make a choice between equally qualified chiropractors (or any doctor for that matter):</p>
<ul>
<li>What is the chiropractor&#8217;s feeling about his profession?</li>
<li>Will he or she answer your questions quickly and honestly?</li>
<li>What kind of techniques does they use?</li>
<li>Is the office open at times convenient to you?</li>
<li>Is the office location convenient?</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just a few of the questions you can ask. You&#8217;ll want to notice how comfortable you are in the conversations. It won&#8217;t do you much good to use a doctor that you&#8217;re not comfortable talking to. Good communication is a key part of successful treatment.</p>
<p>Take your time and choose the chiropractor that&#8217;s right for you. You may want to go in an get a consultative exam when you&#8217;re feeling good. That way, the doctor will have a guideline to go by when treating you in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diet Blog points out that <a href="http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2006/08/02/online_diet_pill_peddlers_proscuted.php">online pill sellers are being prosecuted</a>. With the amount of spam I get from such things I&#8217;m pleased to hear about it. From Diet Blog:</p>
<blockquote><p>$33.6 million in nine months. That&#8217;s the amount of money funneled through a single on-line pharmacy. Two Doctors have now been indicted due to approving prescriptions without seeing anyone in person.</p>
<p>Prosecutors said more people could be charged in the case. They said five doctors approved more than 350,000 prescriptions from September 2003 to May 2004.<br />
For those who have seen such sites &#8211; it&#8217;s a simple process to order (often at discount prices) any form of prescription medication. Many of the popular drugs sold are weight loss medications such as phentermine or adipax.<br />
Some of these drugs are habit forming and have side effects that should be taken into careful consideration.</p></blockquote>
