Healthy Living VS. a Lifestyle of Drugs, Reactions, Side-effects, and Symptoms
T-shirt about Chiropractic and a healthy lifestyle VS. drugs and symptoms and side-effects
“I take Aspirin for the headache caused by the Zyrtec I take for the hayfever I got from taking Relenza for the uneasy stomach and flu-like symptoms caused by Viagra for the erectile dysfunction from the Propecia for the hair loss caused by the Ritalin I take for my short attention span caused by the Scopoderm TTS I take for the motion sickness I got from the Lomotil which I take for the diarrhea caused by the Xenical I’m on for the uncontrolled weight gain caused by the Paxil I take for the anxiety I got from the Zocor I take for my high cholesterol…because exercise, a good diet, and regular chiropractic care are just too much trouble!”

Apparently Randy Chestnut, a comedian, has claimed to be the original creator of the quote on this T-shirt. It was taken from his stand up routine and then altered. Here is his story behind the “Unauthorized” T-shirt slogan. You’ll see differences on the picture below taken from his website:
There is a better way to live and actually enjoy your LIFE instead of just struggling through the pain, side-effects, symptoms, and drug reactions.
I’m not saying there is never an occasion for using medicine, but the pros and cons just don’t balance. Any mild improvement or slight benefits from pharmaceutical therapy do not compensate for the overwhelming risks involved, negative reactions, bad effects on your body, and expense.
The best Rx is not a new drug, but a change in lifestyle…a new way of thinking…a new way of eating…a new way of moving…a Genesis event that will help you MAKE A CHANGE and start heading in a new direction with your diet, exercise, health, and lifestyle.
Vitalistic upper cervical specific chiropractic care can play a major factor in helping you live better, without the fear or worry or side-effects of the drugs.

Chiropractic saves patients money by reducing their need for pain medication. Many drugs merely mask pain without addressing its underlying cause. Chiropractic goes to the root of the problem, helping patients live pain-free without the use of medication.
Have you ever estimated how much money your family spends on pain medication per year? If not, calculate it now. (Take care to include over-the-counter drug costs, which alone can reach monumental sums.) Chances are you’re spending more on covering up your pain with drugs than it would cost to treat your family to a year’s worth of preventative chiropractic care!
I am interested in purchasing the shirt photographed above and heard you can reproduce them – however, I would want my business logo, etc. on it, of course, but would also like to change the ending to represent my center more (plus I am not a DC so…).
Is this possible and what would the cost be?
Thanks very much, in advance, for your time.
Sincerely,
Jewel Sommerville, D.Ac.
P.S. – What happens if I can’t answer the math Q below? Just kidding
I appreciate your interest in that T-shirt.
Of course we love the message it sends “think for yourself” and “make informed choices” and “the body can heal itself” instead of the conventional so-called wisdom we hear about taking all those dangerous pills and drugs!
But, I don’t have a way to reproduce them.
My only suggestion is to find a local print shop that does custom work. They will probably give you a deal if you bought a bunch of them, but even for one or two shirts, it shouldn’t cost much.
Here is a local shop (in Bentonville, AR) I’ve used for biz cards, graphics, name tags, etc. and I know they do good work on clothing too.

P.S. the math Q is my attempt to stop spam and it helps but isn’t perfect ;o)
Is there any way to get one of those t-shirts? I don’t need to personalize it, I just like the message.

DO NOT BUY THAT T-SHIRT.
That t-shirt is an UNAUTHORIZED copy of my t-shirt, based on a bit I wrote and perform all over the country. I will be contacting the various sellers who have stolen my shirt and bastardized it to sell their products and services, and I will be asking them to stop profiteering off my work.
The original bit DOES NOT include the phrase “regular chiropractic care”, does not spell Xenical, “Zenikal”, and includes the drugs Propecia and Viagra. These knock-offs are little more than cynical garbage, a perversion of my work, and they don’t deserve your money.
Randy,
Thanks for your input here. And in this case, I appreciate your sense of humor!!
As mentioned above, I do not have this shirt, nor do I reproduce or sell them.
I’ll post your original quote and picture of your T-shirt along with a link to your website.

Unfortunately I did not see any way to buy this shirt on your site or the other source you referenced.
IF you have plans to make some income from the idea, it appears you may have a market out there that would purchase a few different options or “altered quotes” — not that the original was bad!
Thanks again for your input…
Thank you for providing an image of my original, and attributing it properly. At present, I sell the shirt almost exclusively at live shows, and the company that prints them for me is in transition, but I expect to have more within the next couple of months.
Given the surprisingly great interest in them from health and wellness professionals I plan to make them available in the near future. Interested individuals, stores and practices can contact me directly at randy@randychestnut.com. We can work from there.
Once again, I thank you for the integrity and decency you’ve showed. Others, including the person in the picture with the blue shirt, have not been quite so honest.
