O.K. that may not be the best way to put it, but the principle needs to be explored.  We seem to always want testimonials from our practice members. But have you ever done a focus group and asked your people what they think can be improved in your office.  You may be surprised.  Of course, ... Read more

“Americans probably have more vitamins in their urine than the rest of the world has in their diet” -Reggie Gold I remember Reggie making this statement many years ago. I think the impact of the statement is greater if we know the context in which he made it. Reg was talking about our role as ... Read more

At the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Sevres, France is the cylinder of platinum and iridium that weighs 1 kilogram.  It is the standard for weight/mass and is 130 years old.  It has just been found out that even though it is made up of precious metals that are corrosion-resistant and kept under ...

 A seeming paradox in chiropractic is the fact that we do not go by feelings.  Symptoms are not a criteria or a guide to health (or absence of health).  Yet we want our practice members to listen to the innate intelligence of his/her body.

For chiropractic, the expected/ intended result is the innate intelligence of the body being more fully expressed.

That is an axiom, a true statement.  The problem is that it can only be easily understood with regard to mathematics and the hard sciences.  When it comes to, say, something like the human body, it is a little more difficult to understand, primarily because we can only know some of the parts through our senses.  ...

The only claim that chiropractic can accurately and truthfully make is that it corrects vertebral subluxations which are an interference to the transmission of messages from the innate intelligence of the body to the tissues of the body. For some of us that is enough. For the others…well, they really have no grasp  of the ramifications ... Read more

It has been charged by medical doctors that no one can move the vertebrae of the spine.  Some therefore claim that what chiropractors do is either outright fraud or something they have convinced themselves of and have taught their patients.  Many years ago, the College of Medical Evangelists located in Loma Linda, California, went so ...
