This chapter is a must read for the chiropractor. We have learned that new principles are needed in order to advance mankind. Today we discuss this concept in terms of creating new “paradigms.” B.J. talks about Henry Ford’s new principle which replaced the principle of transportation by one’s own feet or by an animal. He … Read more
This issue marks the beginning of the 16th year of my writing The Pivot Review. It has been an honor and privilege to share my views of chiropractic with you. It has also been an exciting period in the history of the chiropractic profession. We have seen the insurance boom and bust. We have seen … Read more

Perhaps the problem relates to … Read more
Without doubt the most misunderstood, overlooked and little emphasized fact in chiropractic today is the idea that chiropractic is different than anything else.
