The Biggest Life Stealer
First, a Confession:
I've been told to give customers what they want. That's the first lesson in
business.
For me I must break that rule.
If I gave everybody what they wanted they would be sicker...
So, please, bear with me. I do not follow the medical paradigm and I have
to ignore a portion of my chiropractic college teaching that follows the
medical paradigm.
Chiropractic is not medical and has nothing to do with medical care. This
really confuses people. And I won't duplicate medicine. I invite you to learn
why I love offering something different. Medicine concentrates on "ill" health
and medical personnel do not have the time to promote "good" health.
Luckily, we are self healing and most people heal despite the medical
system.
Medicine uses drugs and surgery to stop symptoms. Most ways of stopping
symptoms are misleading because symptoms are only part of the whole
health picture and don't address the cause.
There are many medical procedures that save people from instant death.
But once the emergency is over the path chosen from that point on is crucial.
I have to say that again:
Once the emergency is over the path chosen from that point on is
crucial.
We must chose a path of nurturing the body and mind. We develop poor
health thanks to modern day living.
People want to feel better and I can't give that to them.
So, I break the first rule of business because I cannot be unethical and
mislead you. I said giving people what they want will make them sicker.
People naturally want to feel better quickly and the quick ways cause more
damage. I must teach people how to take care of their health and it can't be
done quickly.
The truth is, Only you can make yourself feel better.
But I can give you a head start.
Here is what I do:
(1) Adjust the spine so your nervous system is less likely to kill you.
(2) Teach you about subluxations and how sneaky they are
(3) Teach you about the mind-body connection dwelling in the nervous system
(4) Teach how to enhance life by nurturing the nervous system
Because I don't treat, I teach.
Everything about chiropractic focuses on the nervous system. It is the
survival link between the body and mind.
I truly feel the more you learn about your body the more amazed you will be.
It is this amazement that motivates people to build great habits that carry
them into a future of vitality.

So, what is the biggest life stealer?
In my opinion, the biggest life stealer is never having the
opportunity to learn about subluxations.
It took me a while to understand it, so don't feel overwhelmed. I
want every practice member to feel confident in their bodies and
confident they know how to take care of the their health. Join me
on a rewarding journey.

"WHY TALK CHIROPRACTIC PHILOSOPHY?"
by Terry A. Rondberg, D.C.

Chiropractic doesn't HAVE a philosophy ... chiropractic IS a philosophy.
When chiropractors get together, they often discuss philosophy. Yet, you will seldom hear them
mentioning Plato and Aristotle, or comparing notes on Nietzsche or Emerson. The philosophy they are
most interested in is chiropractic philosophy, the fundamental beliefs and underlying precepts of the
entire profession.
Many people find it odd that chiropractic has its own philosophy. After all, other professions don't have
one. Have you ever heard of pediatric philosophy – accounting philosophy – or legal philosophy? Why,
then, does chiropractic have a philosophy?
Actually, it is somewhat misleading to say that chiropractic has a philosophy. According to Dr. B.J.
Palmer, the developer of chiropractic (whose father, D.D. Palmer, is credited with its actual "discovery" in
1895), chiropractic IS a philosophy – as well as a science and an art.
That is, chiropractic is not merely a method of adjusting a person's spine or correcting subluxations. It is
a set of beliefs about the human body and the natural order of the universe.
These beliefs – this philosophy – is the WHY of chiropractic. The science and art of chiropractic (such as
the specific adjusting techniques) were developed, and are used, in accordance with the philosophy.
Chiropractic is unique in this respect. Other professions are not based on a set of unchangeable
principles. The legal profession, for example, deals with a system of laws and statutes that change
rapidly. A few years ago, it was legal to cruise 75 MPH on most highways. Today, it's against the law.
Even a single action can be viewed differently depending on the circumstances surrounding it. Taking
another person's life, for instance, can be murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide, or justifiable
homicide. There is no single, universal principle by which to judge the action. Lawyers, then, must deal
with rules and laws that fluctuate with time, location, and society's preferences. The same is true of
accounting. Try to convince a tax accountant that tax laws are consistent.
Even the field of medicine changes according to the latest research results. Not long ago, for example, M.
D.s were routinely taking tonsils out as a preventive measure. Today, it is a rare procedure.
In chiropractic, the basic underlying precepts remain unchanged and unchangeable. Understanding of
those beliefs may deepen, and the techniques may improve, but the elemental doctrines will be constant.
The importance of philosophy to the chiropractic profession cannot be stressed enough, for it is the
basis of everything a principled chiropractor does.
According to one of the profession's early philosophers, Ralph Stephenson, D.C., "It is the explanation of
everything chiropractic – the difference between a good chiropractor and a poor one is, that the good
one has an ample supply of abstract principles in his head and the poor one only a few – Poor
chiropractors are apt to substitute machinery for knowledge."
Although there are many principles which comprise chiropractic philosophy, a few of the key ones include:
There exists a Universal Intelligence which brings organization to all matter, and maintains its existence;
All living things have inborn, or Innate Intelligence which adapts universal forces and matter for use in the
body;
Every living thing has ALL the Innate Intelligence it requires to maintain its life and optimal health;
Health is the expression of the Innate Intelligence through Innate Matter, via Innate Energy;
When there is interference with the transmission of Innate Energy, the result is a decrease in the
expression of Innate Intelligence, which chiropractors call dis-ease (not to be confused with disease!).
Because these terms and concepts are so important to chiropractors – and their patients – they will be
explained in detail in the other "booklets" in this series. When you understand chiropractic philosophy,
you will know that chiropractic works – and why!
The Path You Choose is Crucial
