QUOTE
There are no icons in chiropractic, at least not in its philosophy, as much as some would like to create them (of themselves or others). Anyone’s ideas are and should be open to scrutiny and critical evaluation.
The 33 principles
It seems to me that the 33 principles are enough science to explain and validate chiropractic and its philosophy. When we begin to incorporate other scientific fields, philosophies, personal viewpoints and or religions into our chiropractic philosophy we run the great risk of mixing our chiropractic with these other areas of study. Regardless of how … Read more
Getting the big idea
The greatest hindrance to understanding and applying the chiropractic philosophy is the refusal to disregard previous ideas, paradigms, and thinking and to begin to look at the world in light of an ADIO viewpoint.
Prosperity in Chiropractic
The only problem with prosperity is that it tends to cause one to lose his priorities.
Defining Chiropractic
Who gets to define what the practice of chiropractic is(at least in the U.S.)? In 1974 that question was answered once and for all when Louisiana, the last state in the United States to do so, licensed chiropractic and chiropractors agreed to be licensed to practice under the aegis of the state. Chiropractors once and … Read more

I’m not sure whether end-of-life care is part of vitalism but it is not part of the practice of chiropractic. End-of-life care … Read more
DIS-EASE
It seems to me that Traditional Chiropractic and Objective Chiropractic both address Vertebral Subluxation as the cause of DIS-EASE. The difference is that TC sees DIS-EASE as the cause of (all, many, most, some?) diseases and OC makes no such assertion, maintaining that DIS-EASE, results in partial death (lack of the full expression of intelligence … Read more
It's really quite confusing.
Just when you think you have figured out the game, somebody changes the rules or at least changes the numbers on the players backs. Last week I sent my latest book to be edited for the final version. The book is contrasting traditional straight chiropractic and objective straight chiropractic. The next night I heard that … Read more
Life and Death
Life is the expression of intelligence through matter. Death then is the lack of expression of intelligence through matter. That leads some to believe that the lack of expression means that life ceases to exist. Yet we know from our major premise (and P. # 2) that matter is still maintained in existence, still manifesting … Read more
