In BJ’s 1957 text Evolution or Revolution he contrasted the ADIO and outside-in viewpoints and posited that the former (ADIO) was a contrast to the latter (OIBU) and that it would eventually supplant it. So… chiropractors, how’s that idea working out? We must understand the difference between the two actions. The so-called “American Revolution of … Read more
Miracles are not limited by limitations of time and matter. They are reality beyond Nature and natural law. But…you must first believe that there is a reality beyond nature and natural law.
The fact that state boards were formed, and the legislature created laws to limit the practice of chiropractic to something different than medicine, that by law, means it was intended to and must be something different.

“Facts are more important than ideology.” The only way that is valid is if the facts are based upon principles and not opinions. Most so-called”facts” are merely a person conveying his/her own “truth”/opinion. The CCE is many(perhaps most) chiropractor’s “truth”/opinion.

The public opinion in 1895 was one that could be best described as outside-in. All approaches to “health” including medicine were based on the idea that sickness, disease and lack of health came from the outside, from the environment,or something in it. that was the case for even the so-called drugless approaches and had been … Read more
When chiropractic began (after DD’s natural misconception that it was a cure for deafness), and people with other conditions got well, the Founder concluded that vertebral subluxation was the cause of all diseases, that it was “the magic bullet” (another misconception). This distinguished it from drugless therapy which advocated heat, cold, nutritional, mechanical and (later) … Read more
We must be careful not to create icons/idols because in doing so when they, for one reason or another, do not live up to our expectations we can become an iconoclast. That is what happened in BJ’s case. I believe there is only One Person in all of human history worthy of our worship, who … Read more
