The cause of disease
The only single cause to disease is trauma. Otherwise diseases all have multiple causes. It is interesting and noteworthy that trauma (external invasive forces) is the single cause of vertebral subluxation. Dec 29, 2010
Our unique role as chiropractors.
We all fill a unique role in life. We all make a unique contribution to our family, or profession, our work, our community, the world. If we do not fulfill that contribution, nobody else will. Some may cover parts of it but no one will make our unique contribution. By analogy, every cell in he … Read more

You can accomplish more with two chiropractors who believe that chiropractic is subluxation correction and nothing else than you can with 2000, each of whom believes that it is subluxation correction and one of 2000 other things. January 28, 2010

The “outside-inners” (those that reject the vitalistic philosophy) in the chiropractic profession have somehow convinced themselves, the educational community, the government and, to some degree, us, that we are inferior because we hold to an Above-down inside-out (ADIO) world and life viewpoint. They have managed to convince enough people that, by virtue of our philosophy, … Read more

We can spend our lives looking for something of value which is not there and ignoring that which is of value. An example is the South African … Read more

You know you are educating your practice members when they start asking you how they feel rather than telling you how they feel. December 7, 2010
