Chiropractic and its Role in the Health-Care Profession
Drugless healing is a natural evolution from harmful drugs. It is an
improvement upon the practice of medicine. Chiropractic is not an
approach that improves upon medical practice. It is a complete change in
thinking. It goes off in a completely different direction. It is a change from:
  • disease to health
  • mechanism to vitalism
  • outside-in to above-down
  • physician-centric to innate intelligence-centric

Alternative health care evolved from studying the past, the dangers of
drugs and the harm of medical practices. Chiropractic came about from
studying the innate intelligence of the body.

A thought from B.J. on doing medical procedures
Must we study and spend hours on the disease of these organs or
tissues, all to be discarded when we adjust the cause? Must we study
these branches just to "talk intelligently to the patient?" Must we include
urinalysis just to continue to travel in dead men's shoes and follow dead
men's customs? Must we swindle,fool, misinstruct the public, just to make
the gullible, the unthinking public look up to and revere us for the things
they think we have , for the things they hope we will do, for the faith and
belief they would place in us like the superstitions in some metal or stone
idol? Or can we afford to ask them to think with us, in forestalling this
superstition, and replacing theory with fact? The Science of Chiropractic,
