In my opinion, the greatest thing Reggie Gold ever did in his life was to give the chiropractic profession a non-therapeutic, objective driven approach to the practice of chiropractic. The greatest thing we can do to honor his memory is to practice and perpetuate that approach and in doing so preserve the philosophy that he so dearly loved.
