All of them! They would say it's too soon, or it's this or that, and I would say 'You obviously didn't know my father'. He would say "DO IT." Some people told me I should give this all away, but by that line of thinking I should be able to go to DE for free because Sid is dead, I should be able to go to Parker for free because Jim Parker is dead and I should be able to go to school for free because DD and BJ are dead. You didn't know my dad. My dad would have sold me if he could make a buck off of me. I told them to go fuck themselves and move on.

What do you think of Parker Seminars now?

I love it that it is Vegas once a year because it is a fun place to go.

But now you have the ChiroSushi Summit in Vegas?

Oh yeah. Definitely. They (Parker) kicked my Dad out because of his philosophy. They stopped bringing him in as a speaker. They are, in my opinion, along the route of becoming more medical. I hate that people lump Chiropractic in with medicine. We are not medicine. Vitalistic care is not health care.

Tell us about your practice

I just did my first 'Dinner with Doc' instead I do 'Pizza and Beer' with Doc. It's more fun! It turned out great. I do all cash; I don't do insurance. I do $100 a month unlimited care. I'm happy with what I can offer my community. There are those who say I'm bastardizing the profession, but I don't think so at all. I'm helping more. I don't need much. You might need to charge $60 a visit, but I don't.

What's the truth to you?

Yes, we help with backaches, necks, and strains. That is a happy side effect of what we do. But at the end of the day, it's allowing what the body needs to do first, and that is to take care of itself without interference. Are we against medicine? No. My dad was taking drugs at the end to stay alive. Are we against surgery? No. My father had six stents put in his heart. But what we are saying is Chiropractic first, medicine second and surgery last. And if we said that, and that alone, then I think people would start getting the idea.

    Also, she found the traditional system to be problematic at times, especially the fact that a diagnosis was necessary for insurance to pay for treatments.

One big difference between the way she runs her practice, other than the different methods she uses like psychic soul readings and hypnotherapy, is that she does not diagnose her patients.

    Choosing a chiropractor is almost as important as choosing a primary care physician. While there is a definite science to chiropractic care, is also an art in practice. For the most part, chiropractic is based on a philosophy that the entire body can only function at its optimal level if the column is properly aligned. Of course, other areas of the body are worked as well, but the spine is imperative. Different chiropractors have different methods to perform similar tasks.…

X-rays may also be taken if necessary. Chiropractors do not perform surgery and they do not have a license to write a prescription. Therefore, other treatment options are used, such as water, heat, massage, or exercise. With additional training, a chiropractor can specialize in a certain area, such as rehabilitation.…

    As I entered my senior year of undergrad, I began looking for an opportunity to work with people requiring any form of health care assistance. Luckily, I came across an opening for a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) position in the school newspaper. At the time, I didn’t know exactly what a PCA was, but I knew I wanted to work one-on-one with patients, and this job would allow me to do exactly that. After I went through all the training that was required, it was finally time to meet my client. The only details my supervisor told me about my client were: his name, that I would be assisting in driving him around in his handicap accessible van, getting him dressed, monitoring him during his walking exercises, and that he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy as a child and was bound to a wheelchair.…
