One of the more exciting aspects of understanding philosophy is when we begin to see science grasping and applying concepts that we have understood for years. The issue of adaptation is one of these concepts and a very important one. When science understands the true concept of adaptability as we do, that it is a … Read more
The problem with the chiropractic profession is not that it does not have a definition of chiropractic, it’s that it does not have a definition of medicine.v23n4
Both the medical profession and the chiropractic profession purport to have the same goal, to enable mankind to experience a longer life and better quality of life.

First, let me say that insurance of any kind involves a … Read more
To say that the human body is just a compilation of organs, tissues and cells is like saying that War and Peace is a collection of words or Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is a collection of musical notes.
