The Real Truth About the March of Dimes Girl
Winifred Gardella's Experience
In the early 1950's, Winifred Gardella was a poster child for the March of Dimes. Nearly all of us are familiar with her picture that was published in the newspapers to raise huge sums of money for the March of Dimes in San Francisco. Nationally, her image raised millions of dollars to help fight the dreaded crippler, Polio. Her sad, innocent face and her tiny body supported on crutches and leg braces made many Americans reach into their pockets to donate.
But the March of Dimes could not help Winifred. After two and a half years under their Doctor's expert care, her parents were told "There is no hope". Despite this dire prediction, her grandparents were determined to find a cure. They were not about to accept the opinion of so called "Medical Experts."
They decided to choose their own Healthcare and they took Winifred to Dr. Lewis Robertson, a Chiropractor in Glendale, California. She was adjusted daily, and in less than six months of having her nerve interference corrected Winifred Gardella threw away her crutches and braces, and went for a walk with her chiropractor. She has been walking ever since!
The irony of this story is that not one dollar of the millions she raised for the March of Dimes went to pay for the Chiropractic care which allowed her to walk again!
This is not a "medical miracle". Personally, I don't believe in "medical miracles" anyway - I believe in miracles... the God kind! Winifred's body simply responded normally to Chiropractic adjustments by re-establishing its ideal balance and optimal function. It's a natural response to Chiropractic.
Regular Chiropractic care is an obvious part of a healthy lifestyle!
