Philosopher John Searle, politician Patrick Buchanan, and law professor Phillip Johnson have suggested that society is embroiled in a culture war. Chiropractic is one small battle in that war. We often use the word “paradigm” to mean a model. But the word means much more …
Reggie has told the story of an old Ben Casey T.V. program in which Dr. Casey comes out of surgery and tells the distraught parents of a child he has just performed surgery on that “we have done all that we can do, it’s now out …
The statement has been made that “some people are so heavenly- minded that they are no earthly good.” I cannot accept that idea. In a similar way, I cannot accept the idea that those of us who put so much emphasis upon the principle of …
There is no doubt that pride is appropriately described as the first deadly sin. It is especially prevalent among members of the health care community. We, as health care providers having the health and well-being, and even the life and death, of people in our …
Recently, I have been thinking about the irony of our profession. As chiropractors, we talk about living innately, practicing innately, adjusting innately, thinking innately and acting innately. The best example of an individual who is perhaps expressing innate intelligence better than at any other time …
Non therapeutic objective straight chiropractic relates to one aspect of an ADIO world and life viewpoint, health and one aspect of health, the location analysis and correction of vertebral subluxation. Nowhere does it address disease, its prevention or cause.
If you are into healing, getting sick people well or relating to disease in any way, are you not assuming the responsibility of being able to determine limitations of matter and thus the need for diagnosis and referral?
Some chiropractors will think nothing of writing a check for $100 to a worthwhile charity. Yet they will not give four free adjustments to a needy person, or worse, will not even accept them as a practice member.
If the 33 Principles form the foundation for chiropractic (and I believe they do) how did we become a health profession and end up striving to “get sick people well” when there is no use of the word ”sick”, not even any mention of ”health” or “wellness”, …
Your organs are not smart, they’re not dumb either…just obedient. -Claude Lessard, D.C.
This blog has been in operation for just a little over a year. I have posted 900 times, have received 1,581 comments and we have had over 77,000 views. A big thank you to all who have kept me thinking and helped stave off my …
Reggie’s Epiphany In writing his biography Reggie shared with me how he came to understand the non-therapeutic aspect of chiropractic. This 15 min. segment is part of a talk that took place during his 80th birthday celebration in December 2005 at an FSCO Convention.
Dieting is an outside-in approach. Body building is an outside-in approach. Outside-in approaches are never meant to be health measures. That is why, at best, they only treat symptoms and are usually temporary. If an approach is not something that you do for life, then it is a quick …
It is not the satisfied person who tells others. It is the enthusiastic, educated person who refers.
Uniting man the material and man the non-material (not man the spiritual) is the goal of the chiropractor. But there is no way to demonstrate that it can be done apart from the nerve system. If it could, the nerve system with all its weaknesses would …
