“Give

unless we stand for something
we shall fall for anything.”

Right
now the very foundation of which Chiropractic stands and has been built upon is
being threatened. The Chiropractic
Council on Education which oversees the accreditation of programs and
institutions offering the Doctor of Chiropractic Degree has progressively taken
steps to change the way chiropractic is both taught and practiced around the
world. For you, the general public this
would mean that you could see chiropractors who are able to prescribe drugs and
do minor surgeries but not be able to adjust subluxations!
The very roots on which our profession was created are being attacked. The world does not need chiropractors to
prescribe medication nor perform surgery; there is a well educated group of
people already specializing in this. The
world needs chiropractors to do what they do best and that is to adjust
subluxations, the interferences in your nervous system caused by stress. If you value your right to receive pure
chiropractic I encourage you to take action and sign one of our petitions at
our office or by visiting
CCE Complaint Petition
The petition reads:
To Whom it May Concern:
I have received chiropractic adjustments to correct vertebral subluxations in
my spine.
I am filing a complaint with the US Department of Education against the Council
on Chiropractic Education (CCE) for not upholding freedom of philosophical,
curriculum and political orientation as per the foreword of CCE Accreditation
Standards.
Due to recent changes in the CCE Standards in regards to removing subluxation
and reference to “without drugs or surgery,” I am concerned that chiropractic
care for the correction of vertebral subluxation will not be available to my
children or grand-children.
If I want medical care, I have access to my medical doctor. I choose
chiropractic because I want a natural approach to health and healing.
Chiropractic has existed because of its separate and distinct philosophy
and application of its healing art. It is my belief that this difference is
crucial for myself and future generations to have access to and that the CCE,
by making changes to their Standards, is jeopardizing the future of this type of
care.
Thank you for registering my complaint.
We, the undersigned, certify that we have read the preceding document and agree
fully with the statements contained within.
Print
out the following pdf, gather friends, family, co-workers who know the benefit
of chiropractic to sign and fax in or drop off at the Lifehouse to submit on
your behalf.
CCE Client Petition pdf
The vision of BJ Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, is not to
have a mousetrap of sickness and disease. Chiropractic is about transforming
the consciousness of humanity to a completely different paradigm. It is
beginning to reveal itself to a small section of society that are connected
spiritually, that are open minded and see the bigger picture with frequently
and active, the ‘movers and shakers’. It’s important we all have a deeper
understanding, a whole new concept, out of a crisis model and into a life
model, a proactive model (one that has long term viability and sustainability).
I thank you for your efforts in supporting the cause that will
ensure the right of every man woman and child the opportunity to receive pure
chiropractic now and into the future.
Gratefully yours,
Dr. Norm
