As we bring you the 2007 Chiropractic Products  Buyer's Guide, a lot is going on to help you become the health care practitioner of choice in your community.

For example, pick up a newspaper or read the news on the Web. As I write this, the Los Angeles Times just reported that the US Senate approved a bill that would improve the FDA's power to require drug makers to reduce risks of drugs on the market.

While it's good that the drug makers might start taking action to improve safety, it's crazy that it has taken this long. More than ever, the drug companies are bombarding consumers with ads for products that claim to treat all types of maladies. Those same ads often list dangerous side effects that can be worse than the original malady.

But as more news trickles in about the dangers of many prescription drugs, people will eventually catch on and will turn out in greater numbers to your offices in search for natural alternatives to improve their health.

Be there for them. As negative reports about drugs and surgery continue to garner attention, patients are going to seek expertise from alternative-health practitioners in areas such as rehab and nutrition.

Let us help you. Use this Buyer's Guide to find companies whose products and services help you care for patients better. Also, no matter where you are, you can access this entire Buyer's Guide on our website.
