In the Footsteps of Greatness


I have been spending the weekend at the Grove Park Inn, where B.J. Palmer, the developer of our great chiropractic profession would stay and work on philosophy.  His picture is hanging up in the hall next to Presidents, where they honor him as “the father of chiropractic,” (though erroneous, I was still very excited to see him up on the wall).

It is easy to see why he chose this place, it drips of  inspiration with an amazing view of the Smoky Mountains.  You can really shut out the world here and be still, an art that is all but lost in my generation. Being here in his temporal footsteps is not only motivating, but challenging.  Can I contribute a fraction of what he did?  Will I leave chiropractic as a better than when I entered it?  My heart declares a resounding yes, and I know it can be done as long as I stay true to the purpose and vision for the second century of chiropractic.

Do You want a Healer or a Dealer?

Health care is such a burning topic right now, and with all the press and dinner conversations going on about it, what is missing from the dialogue is health.  If you've been following my blog for any time at all, you have heard me talk about Health Care & Sick Care.  What we have in America is Sick Care, in fact you can see it all around you...we have more medicine, more surgery, more hospitals and we are sicker than ever before!  Our current system does not address health, it focus on ameliorating symptoms so we can continue our hectic lifestyles uninterrupted....then we are surprised when our health fails!  Health is proactive, I believe health to be the byproduct of making positive lifestyle decisions repeatedly over time.

Health is something you create, it is not early detection, preventative medicine, or screenings.  True health care adds value to your life.  Remember, when you give Sick Care to a community and call it Health Care, you end up with a sick society and a health care crisis.  This brings me to Healers & Dealers (thanks to Dr. J for the title).

Healers:
  • Know that the body is able to heal itself, and encourage the process
  • Have a purpose and mission to educate and empower humanity so people can choose health
  • Are concerned with how your body is functioning, and create care plans to optimize your health potential
  • Inspire people to see what is possible, and offer hope, compassion, and an environment for people to succeed
  • Know that everything the body does (even feeling pain), it does for an intelligent reason (in order to survive in it's current environment).
Dealers:
  • Champion themselves as having or being the "cure" to your symptoms.  
  • Wait until you have a problem that needs "fixing" through chemicals (medication) or removal or body parts (surgery)
  • Are concerned with how your body is feeling, and offer solutions to try to get rid of your current pain and symptoms.  For example: "Try this (pills) for a couple weeks, if they don't work or you get a bad reaction, come back and we'll try something different."
  • Like to get you hooked on their chemical so you become a lifetime consumer of one or more of their products
  • Believe that the body operates like a machine, and that it makes bad decisions when things go wrong.  Malfunctioning parts can be removed at little consequence.

What kind of doctor do you want?  One will foster health creation and show you the narrow path that involves personal responsibility and change.  The other will take away vital body parts and put you into a chemically induced existence so you don't have to deal with the your life/pain/disease.  One way empowers, the other is an escape.

I know what kind of doctor I am.  If you are ready, then I am ready for you.

In Health,
