By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I am a chiropractic magnet. Everywhere I go, someone is either talking about chiropractic or presenting an opportunity for me to talk to them about chiropractic. I often have to check and see if I am wearing a chiropractic t-shirt. Funny thing is I own very few chiropractic t-shirts. It must…

An inquest into a teenager’s death is resulting in calls for new rules on prescription drugs in Canada.

Wow, what a great day to be alive! Today two lives started to change; a premature baby and a battered spouse. When you look into the eyes of a mother who’s baby was born at 1 1/2 pounds and who’s spinal cord is fused to her spine and the mother hands her to you and says, “I know Chiropractic will help her”, something deep, deep down inside you stirs.

The FireWalk Experience As a Powerful Metaphorby Sid L. Mouk, D.C. We “live or die” as human beings on this planet according to our beliefs. If we believe we can accomplish something, we can. If we believe we cannot accomplish something, we can’t. We’re right either way. Dr. Jim Sigafoose was able to adjust and…

To: My Cherished Co-Travelers On The Principled Path From: Stew Bittman, D.C. For much of my life, my ego had full command of my thots. Like a crazed sea captain, it terrorized the high seas of my consciousness, filling them with fear and self-loathing, making awareness and love walk the plank. I drifted with the…

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. One of the many experiences I encountered during the past four days of my chiropractic journey was a firewalk. The firewalk was held as a part of the New Beginnings weekend and was hosted by my dear friend, Dr. Jay Handt. It was to be my first firewalk and I wanted…

Medical Mistakes More Serious for Children According to articles in yesterdays Yahoo News and ABCNews.com, a new study finds that, “Nearly one out of every 17 medications ordered by doctors for infants and children in the hospital is incorrect.” According to one article, researchers suggest that until medication errors can be routinely prevented, parents need…

Sharing Fun Times At Dailey ChiropracticBy Super CA Lynne We feel that when a patient steps through our front door it should be the most important part of their day. And with that in mind we go to extraordinary measures to make sure it is. Below are a few of the events in our office…

I started consulting with Chiropractors at Parker Seminars back in 1985. I started noticing that I could guess about how many and which success principles the Doctor was using in their practice based on their PVA (Patient Visit Average).

Chiropractors Speak at Life UniversityBy Michael Dorausch, D.C. When I was a chiropractic student, I took advantage of as many chances I could get to spend time with some of the great chiropractors in our profession. Recently, a group of eight chiropractors representing the Florida Chiropractic Society spoke at Life University. I was on hand…

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. During the past four days at Dynamic Essentials in Atlanta, I had not prepared a single article for the news (other than in my head) although I had every intention of doing so when time would allow. Those of you that have attended DE know that such thoughts of “allowed time”…

By Tim O’Shea, D.C. Now there’s a scary title. An audible inbreath from those bastions of chiropractic academia who are trying so hard to maintain the obsequious appearance of cooperation and subservience… Please let us play doctor too… we’ll be good… we’ll be a drugless profession, but you guys are the real masters of the…

Ushering in The “Golden Age” of Chiropracticby Sid Mouk, D.C. Opportunity #2The Medical Profession Is Still Doing “Business As Usual” Basic thinking in medicine seems to have always been that the human body is a poorly designed mechanical structure that is prone to breakdowns and attacks from without (with several unneeded parts such as the…

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Are clinical drug trials involving children the right thing to do? Perhaps you have heard the news, more drugs are now being tested on kids in the U.S. since a 1997 law was passed giving pharmaceutical companies greater incentive to do so. Some in the medical community, along with parents, question…

By Tim O’Shea, D.C. In every state of the union except two, parents have the legal right to exempt their children from all vaccinations. Whether or not anyone disagrees with their decision is immaterial to that right. In light of the social and political opposition to such a choice, parents who would embark upon such…

By Dr. James Sigafoose Where should the Texas Chiropractic Association be in five years? One national organization to protect this profession, create a profession that is truly portal of entry, primary care physician that most of us want? Training for pharmaceuticals, etc… In 10 years, entrenched as the family practitioner being recognized by the medics,…

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It has been nearly a year since the Planet Chiropractic forum was taken down from the site. I was not prepared for the amount of work involved and the original forum pages eventually went un-maintained. After months of your requests for a place to discuss topics ranging from news articles, vaccine…

I was driving thru a thick tree lined road leading to my house. I also noticed the green grass and wild flowers blooming, and I took in all this beauty, this expression of life, and a thot came to mind. If we look at things natural we find every thing is cyclic. Look at the…

Note: The commentary below is in response to recent articles appearing in various publications regarding subluxation “theory.” It is authored by Dr. Sal Martingano. In reading Dr. Homola’s article in “Skeptic Magazine” and “The Scientific Review of Alternative Medical & Aberrant Medical Practices,” one has to wonder about his motives. His was not an expose…

I have polled Chiropractors on how often they like to get adjusted. Ninety five percent of all Chiropractors would like to get adjusted at least once a week for the rest of their lives. However the same poll would reveal that only 5 percent have ever recommended once a week for lifetime to any of their patients. This is a double standard of care that has been going on for decades.

Opportunity #1 – The Leveling of the Playing FieldBy Sid Mouk, D.C. Chiropractic philosophy and healing is enormously powerful and dynamic! People on this planet respond to it strongly whenever and wherever they experience it! Yet, today, Chiropractors care for (a reportedly) less than 10% of the population. Why?The mass media has a great deal…

We’re #37!Yes, that’s where America’s health care system ranks according to the World Health Organization, (WHO) Number 37! Maybe we need to spend more? Well, in that category we are #1.

By Madeline Behrendt, D.C. Woman, Go to the mirror. Life is captured in our face. What do you see? Eyes that are our personal camera, they catch and record the moments of our days – of landscapes, of faces, of how the world looks back at us. Our nose has catalogued memories of so many…

Perhaps you’ve seen the commercials: angry women yelling at their husbands, pulling at their hair and sobbing dramatically. These are commercials for PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. PMDD is a fairly new disorder (or is it) to hit the medical scene and there is a new drug (or is it), Sarafem, to treat it. According…
