AThought

You cannot practice chiropractic as it should be practiced until you give up the fear of losing practice members.

Chiropractors as Technicians

Thr vitalistic philosophy of chiropractic and the detrimental effects of the vertebral subluxation gives what we do much more meaning. If we look at subluxation correction as a mechanistic procedure then it is not much more important than cutting hair, clipping nails, rubbing backs, or taking x-rays.

Wish I'd Said That

It is not a matter of whether you have a philosophy or not. Even the rejection of philosophy is a philosophy. The issue is whether you have critically evaluated your philosophy or not in light of logic.

Smorgasbord Chiropractic

Chiropractic is not a smorgasbord. We cannot pick and choose what we want it to be and expect to be accepted and respected as a legitimate part of the heath care delivery system by other professsionals and the public in general.

Medicine V Chiropractic

Medicine in the 19th century was largey about treating symptoms, not disease. In the last 150 years it has focused more on disease. Consequently, it is more successful and has less failures go to a chiropractor than our forefathers had. However, they are still not getting to the cause of a lack of health. You can treat a disease, removing its cause, make the patient look, feel, seem, and even be better. But you have not restored health. DIS-EASE will ultimately manifest itself in another place and further, what was done to the body to remove the disease and/or its cause may leave the person worse off than before.

Universal and Divine Laws

Chiropractic philosophy teaches that the universe is organized, has laws and that we can live better, more productive and fulfiling lives if we live in accordance with those laws. There are also divine laws and we must live in accordance with them.

Wish I Said That

Counting the Cost: It is a disgrace to start then not finish something. Sociologist today say that much of our society is characterized by cheap committment. "You are going to give your life to something or else throw it away on nothing".

A Question

Why did the ancient greeks know the existance of pores in the skin but germs causing small pox not discovered until 1762? Why did no one see the contagiousness of pueperal fever until 1823 in view of the Mosaic Law or pasteurization not occur until 1860 with the principles set forth in the Old Testament? Apparently, the ADIO philosophy of life enables an individual to come to a knowledge of truth sooner.
