Chiropractic: An Illustrated History Review


This is not a book I would have bought for myself so I was glad when a colleague gave it to me for my birthday. It is a fabulous book covering just about everything possible in the Chiropractic profession. Reading about the Anti-trust suit and all the other political struggles has truly re-enforced my deep love and respect for this great profession.

There are so many other natural cures that lost the political battle against the med/drug cartel i.e. Rife, Tesla just to name two. I think one of the reasons the profession survived is because we had a lot of Chiropractors who were good politicians along with a passion for healing that is surpassed by no other healing profession that I know. They also were able to humble themselves within the medical community in order to win the many political battles fought in all 50 states plus two (?) U.S. territories.

I am so proud to call myself a Chiropractor and will have undying respect for all those who came before me so that thousands of people are able to access the healing power of the spinal adjustment. A treatment that clearly relieves back pain but also affects the general health so people require fewer of the cut, burn and poison treatments.

You must read this book and then put it in your reception room so your patients can appreciate the magnitude of the privilege they have when they come into your office for their treatments.

P.S. A note to the authors: you left out the great state of Massachusetts in the chart that shows the year each state won their licensing struggle. It was 1966!!! Thank you Dr. Macdonald and all the other pioneers in this state who made this possible. It was truly a miracle.
