We often must choose between loyalty to a principle (objective) and loyalty to a person (a practice management consultant). B.J. (a person) or the philosophy (a principle), even though most of the philosophy was given to us by B.J. Loyalty to an authority/person should not be in conflict with the principle. If it is, principle trumps.
We have to have a vision bigger than ourselves-Liam Schubel, D.C. Having that vision requires humility. The chiropractic vision involves the innate intelligence of the body, allowing its full expression. That is a vision greater than ourselves and greater than anything the educated brain can think of or do.
In chiropractic the only intended result is fulfilling the chiropractic objective, that of correcting vertebral subluxations so that the forces of the innate intelligence of the body can be more fully expressed. Once you have fulfilled that objective your job is done. Everything else is done by the innate intelligence of the body. That is what separates OSC from … Read more
We are dividing the profession into two camps. The problem is that where we are dividing it is incorrect. It is not subluxation-based v. non subluxation based but the medical objective v. the chiropractic objective.

If you are taking care of an individual for vertebral subluxation, it is lifetime care. But an insurance company expects that at some point they are going to stop paying for care. Therefore, their idea of vertebral subluxation is not the same as ours. They see it (or its effects) as a condition that will one … Read more
The core source of knowledge in science is observation-empiricism. The core source of understanding in philosophy is assumption and logic-deduction. The core source of understanding in religion is belief-faith. -David Koch, D.C.
…proving a metaphysical outcome-enabling the innate intelligence and its forces to be better expressed,when we do not use symptoms. Does that make legitmate research impossible?
Almost every mechanical device/design is patterend after an organ or part of the human body. So after seeing how mechanical things mimic the design of the vitalistic innate intelligence of the body, we take a mechanistic approach to the body. That’s like seeing some children act as grownups and thinking to be grownups we need to … Read more
