Chiropractic is an invalid and harmful therapy, which is created on the basis of pseudoscientific ideas. Chiropractors use manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues to treat diseases and proclaim a cure-all and vaccination opposition. Only one of therapy (chiropractic) was used in the medicine and would not allow any vaccine inoculation to be made available to people, which is chiropractic theory. Chiropractic followers set up own theory, method and system and peddle this treatment. As modern humans we enjoy a wide range of medical treatment, and they provide a healthier life. However, advances in modern medicine as with the further research traditional medicines like chiropractic it met with incredulity. For decades the chiropractic has denied modern medicine to treat patients. Although chiropractic followers profess that it can cure all diseases by removal of the subluxation and replace vaccinations, more and more evidences support that chiropractic is an unscientific and dangerous therapy. What people must understand is that tradition and history are no excuse for therapeutic effect but should be more focused on scientific method that is widely proved to be effective and safe in the medicine.

For second part of reading response, I choose to report on Promoting public understanding of public health article by our professor Stephen Bezruchka. I really enjoyed reading the article he wrote about how people in the America are being less healthy than those people in other rich nations. Promoting public awareness about this topic should be high priority for all Public Health majors. Health is the most important part of human life and it surprising to me that people in America are not really doing anything to change it. Solving this problem need individual supports and public supports.

William Beveridge was a man whom was asked by government to write a report on the best and most effective ways to help those on low incomes. This was after the Second World War when people felt they needed rewarding, which the government responded to by promising to create a more equal society. In Beveridge’s report in December 1942, he proposed that all people of a working age should contribute, which would benefit people who were sick, unemployed, retired, or widowed.

When it comes to the ethic of public health and medical health, they hold two totally different definitions. The ethics of public health is when the focus is more on the freedoms of privacy and actions, as long as they do not harm others.“In public health ethics, autonomy, the right of privacy, and freedom of action are recognized in so far as they do not result in harm to others” (Williams & Torrens, 2008). When considering medical ethics the focus on the concerns of individuals and their liberties and freedom of choice. “In Medical ethics, the concern is with privacy individual liberty, freedom of choice, and self-control of the individual” (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Two examples of codified ethical standard of public health is in an

Chiropractors, or doctor of chiropractic, are healthcare professionals who practice the holistic, drugless, healing art of chiropractic. They emphasize health maintenance and disease prevention through proper nutrition, exercise, posture, stress management, and care of the spine and the nervous system. Because of its emphasis on health maintenance, the whole person, and natural healing, it is considered an alternative health care approach (“Alternative Health Care” 45). Chiropractors use spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage back and neck pain. A career in chiropractic healthcare has many challenges such as: rigid career requirements, unique work environments, rewarding salaries with busy work days, and an increase in future needs.

There is a confluence of factors that is related to providing adequate health care on a systemic basis within virtually any population setting. While attempting to address the health care needs of such a setting is always a challenge, this challenge becomes exacerbated by varieties in social and economic conditions, as well as those that apply to race and ethnicity. The problems that plague contemporary health care coverage in the United States are myriad and even more complicated by the fact that many of these issues are interrelated. Three of the most salient of these difficulties concern health care coverage, health inequities, and ineffective health promotion. However, prudent analysis of this topic indicates that of these three areas, the one that is most problematic is that of healthcare coverage. The logic behind this fact is fairly simple; improved health care coverage can ameliorate many of the issues that stem from ineffective health promotion and health inequities.

One of the campaigns is lung cancer campaign ‘got a cough, get a check!’ it shows the symptoms of lung cancer, saying that if you are coughing a lot or if you cough up blood, neck pain and shortness of breath to see your doctor. This will mean that people can be checked earlier than leaving it for it to just get worse. Lung cancer is the most common cause of death ‘’it is known that smokers and ex-smokers have a particularly high risk of developing the disease: although most lung cancers are related to smoking, 10% of people with lung cancer have never smoked.’’ (http://lungcancercampaign.org/patient-information/). Which links to the smoking

Dominique Robert’s (2008) theoretical framework in the article “Prison and/as Public Health. Prison and Inmates as Vectors of Health in the New Public Health Era. The Case of Canadian Penitentiaries” focuses on structural elements that explain the use of correctional health care in the prison setting today and how this plays a role in the broader public health strategies in the outside community. He does this by explaining factors such as “the mobilisation of prison as a tool for the new public health” and "the production of inmates into healthcare ‘consumers’, along with the role of actuarial justice.”

Two major reasons why the U.S. has the highest health care expenditures are substantially higher prices and more fragmented health care delivery that leads to extensive use of medical resources. Insured and high-income Americans, however, have more problems with health care services such as not getting regular medical treatments than the insured in other OECD countries. It reflects the lack of comprehensive health insurance coverage and higher out-of-pocket costs for care of the insured. Fragmented coverage in health care plans also does not support coordinated care in-network including the sharing of information among health professionals and insurance providers. A more effective health care system and management in primary

The United States has helped shape the current state of the Public Health and Medical Care over the last few centuries; however it has not been an easy road and faces more obstacles before full integration. Historically, organized public health was a local issue with a primary focus on problems of sanitation, food, housing, water supply and sewage disposal thereby limited to preventing the introduction of disease, but by the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century it shifted toward prevention of disease of individuals through immunization of children with the formation of the United States Children’s Bureau in 1912 and the Board of Maternity and Infant Hygiene with the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1922 (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Although,

The Constitution distribute public health powers into two categories the federal government and the states (Gostin, 2000). The Federal government, when it comes to public health have the control over taxing, spending, and regulating the activity of buying. Federal public health powers include the authority to tax, spend, and regulate interstate commerce. This control allows the Federal government to gain access to more money, distribute materials, resources, and to continue catch the public's interest (Gostin, 2000). Each individual State have taken on some of this public health power. For example, to help protect, maintain, and promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people (Gostin, 2000). Public

In my research, I found that the primary differences between Public Health and Medical Care are Public health focuses on preventing illnesses and Medical Care focuses on healing patients we are already ill (Montero, 2010).

The 21st Century has seen the healthcare system struggle with challenges such as an increase in chronic conditions, an increase in government spending on public health, and emerging threats such as global health security and antibiotic resistance. On the positive side, more people have gained access to care. To deal with these emerging issues as well as existing challenges, we need an effective public health workforce. The public health has the role of protecting the health of citizens. This could be through health promotion and lobbying for increased access to care. To address the problem of the rise in chronic ailments, public health has a role of creating awareness on chronic conditions, their symptoms and management. This is because these conditions are expensive to treat and drain the resources of patients and their families. Public health should therefore educate the public on the importance of screening and conduct these screening services for early diagnosis and prevention of chronic diseases. Another role of public health in the 21st Century is to provide and use evidence based practice in providing clinical services. This would help in addressing some of the emerging challenges such as antibiotic resistance.

A health care system is a framework of interrelated, interacting, and interdependent descriptions of human development in a given country, region, or community. This system of human development functions as an organized measure to promote and provide treatment in which individuals reach their highest attainable level of physical, mental, and social well-being. All health care systems are grounded in the concept that genetic and biological factors must be taken into account to understand the problems and behaviors of a specific population. The interconnected factors that determine an individual’s health status includes personal features, social status, culture, environment, educational attainment, health behaviors, childhood development, access to care, and government policy. International collaboration of ideas on the progression of transnational health is greatly endorsed for the benefit of complete global health care. Health care has social, governmental, and financial implications that affect all members of the health care system and in countries within the Central American region specially, citizens have fallen victim to health disparities that have resulted from long-term neglect of the underlying factors that perpetuate this issue.
