Questionable Techniques
Future of Chiropractic, Thinking Straight | 2 Comments
|In a private conversation some years back, Dr._______ expressed to me how his _______technique was having a big impact upon non-straight chiropractors. (I suppose that was intended to impress me.)

|We know that organs of the body can produce chemicals that are harmful to the organism, espcially if there is incoordination or DIS-EASE due to vertebral subluxation. Perhaps the endorphins “created” by the brain are an abnormal drug that the educated intelligence administers. The apparent symptomatic changes of some energy medicine procedures, including those techniques ... Read more

Thinking Straight | 3 Comments
|Chiropractic will never gain universal acceptance as long as chiropractors keep depending upon new practice members, the majority of whom have injuries, accidents or who have symptoms of medical conditions.

Read More Changing People's Thinking
Thinking Straight | 9 Comments
|We cannot change society’s paradigm. It is, and has been, outside-in since Adam and Eve sewed on fig leaves in the Garden. We can, and should, change the thinking of individual people who live within that paradigm by exposing them to the truth, logic and simpicity of the ADIO world and life viewpoint. The chiropractic ... Read more
Read More Thought/Opinion-V.S. Corrected by the Body
Thinking Straight, Thoughts | 8 Comments
|It is my opinion that 95% of vertebral subluxations are probably corrected by the innate intelligence of the body without aid of a chiropractor. Otherwise as a negative survival value, the human race would have died off long before DD in 1895. I think it’s pretty arrogant of us to think that the percentage is ... Read more

|It’s funny how we are often turned off by certain words, terms, or phrases but after a while they seem to grow on us. I really had difficulty accepting the word “straight” in the mid-seventies when it first became a common descriptive term of a school, an accrediting agency and a professional organization. I, like ... Read more
