The recruitment office at Life College is having a hard time handling the avalanche of enrollment inquirements during this past month. The office is the busiest it’s been in many years.

Whenever I travel I am always checking out the people that wait on me in restaurants, stores, theme parks, etc. I like to analize them. I like to determine whether they have had chiropractic care or not. You can usually tell the regular chiropractic patients. There is just something different about them. They have a certain air about them, they are lighter, more in tune to what’s going on around them. They definatley have a great attitude.

Several years ago, I wrote an essay dealing with the doubts I was having about my doubts. I realized then that most of the things I had previously doubted had become tangible parts of my belief system. I realized, too, that my faith in chiropractic principles had allowed me to overcome those doubts.

I heard a speaker last week at Life Source talking about a prayer he says in the morning. He asks God to send him all the people he can help. It struck me and I’ve been thinking about the simplicity of the request ever since. I tend to make things complicated and that little prayer is so simple. I am here to serve. I am here to help. I have often asked God to keep me busy while I am in the office. More than I ask for a number of patients I ask God to have me stay in the game. I want to be interacting. When there are no patients in the office I feel like God is giving me a time out. I want to be in the game. I want to feel like I’m being used to my capacity.

I was checking my luggage in curb side a little while ago before I got on the plane home from Atlanta, Georgia. The gentleman who was helping me was especially friendly and seemed efficient. I handed him a tip and he stopped and stared at me for a second. Then I said thanks and was about to walk away and he was still looking in my eyes. I smiled and looked away and he then said that he never got a tip from a doctor before.

Dear Colleagues and Friends, Step number 20 to hundred a day (Always look, dress, and act successful) is actually advanced success principle #10. It surprises me how difficult it is to get doctors to do this one. Have you ever noticed someone walking into a restaurant and everyone is checking this person out. This person looks and acts like a “Winner.”

US Researcher calls preservative used in annual flu shot a “smoking gun” — This was the headline that screamed across the front of the National Post today. You could well imagine my tears of joy upon reading this, especially after the phenomenally biased Marketplace program.

CREW (Chiropractors Restoring Energy Worldwide) successfully completed their 10th worldwide chiropractic mission this past week. This was the 9th mission to the country of Panama, a most popular location for CREW chiropractic missions, since the group was founded in 1997 by Dr. Luis Ocon and his wife Lina.

The Council on Chiropractic Practice (CCP) has completed its review and revision of the “Clinical Guideline Number 1: Vertebral Subluxation in Chiropractic Practice,” first published in 1998.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 6 million women in the United States are infertile, and over 9 million use some kind of infertility service. A series of research papers published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR) suggests that chiropractic adjustments, performed by chiropractors to address nerve interference caused by spinal distortions, could offer hope to many of these women.
