Timestamped Show Notes:

14:50 – Most Chiropractors are the best practitioners, but they're the worst business people, so they struggle, and they never really get ahead. They just kind of exist, paycheck to paycheck and it breaks my heart, because they're amazing. Practitioners, if we could free up some of that stress for them, and a lot, which is part of what my nonprofit does now, is our whole thing is to advocate on behalf of chiropractic, defend the rights of the practicing chiropractor, and then advocate to get better saturation, meaning that, you know, still chiropractic is considered a alternative medicine. It's still considered complementary, where my whole goal is, like, man, if you understood it, it should be the gatekeeper. We should start there, the brain and the body. No matter what other remedy you come up with, if the brain and body aren't communicating, you're it's not going to be as effective as it could be. And so getting chiropractic engaged at the very beginning of a lot of these cases is going to help everybody. It doesn't replace everything. It just puts the patient in the best footing to be able to get the most out of whatever other remedy they may get involved in.

31:05 –So this is why MD's don't know this stuff, because they're taught based on the protocols from the pharmaceutical companies, because that's who's doing the research, and those protocols were built around prescribing some type of medication, and that's why, like, if people understood how horrible statin drugs are, just how horrific they are. So cholesterol, blood pressure, all that stuff that everybody has. When you go in the blood work that MD's are going to get, they are going to look at those types of things, we got to see if it's good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, it's such an easy thing to fix with lifestyle and a little bit of diet changes to get your blood pressure and cholesterol under control. For most people, unless there's an underlying issue, but the allopathic world, because everything's built on a diagnosis, and once there's a diagnosis, there's a protocol, there's no individuality in the allopathic just checking boxes.

41:00 – I try to tell people, One Chiropractic is like Nike, but Nike has a tennis division, a golf division, an apparel division, an equipment division, but it's all one company. So one chiropractic, our mission is to make chiropractic the number one healthcare choice in the world. That's our that's our why statement, okay, then what we do is we create projects that we believe will help us hit that goal. So one of them is defending the rights of practicing chiropractors. There are a number because allopathic medicine does not want us to succeed, like our way of life really does bankrupt the allopathic way of life. We don't want people doing drugs. We don't want people doing surgery. And so we've been under attack. And if you're really a history geek and you want to go back to the 19 late 60s, early 70s, we actually won a case against the American Medical Association where they created a committee to eradicate chiropractic. They called it the Committee on quackery. And we won an antitrust case because they actually put into the code of ethics of MDS that if they referred to or worked with a chiropractor, they could lose their license. And so you had, you had generations of MDS that just hated chiropractic because they were indoctrinated to hate it because of their medical, medical school training. So we've been targeted forever. So like right now in British Columbia, Canada, all of a sudden the regulatory bodies decided chiropractors shouldn't be able to do routine X rays. We've been doing X rays from our inception. Every country licensed chiropractors to do X rays, and they just, out of nowhere, said, Nope, they shouldn't be able to do them anymore.

47:20 – Health is multi dimensional, and if you don't believe it's multi dimensional, then you've been lied to, and you're buying the lie. Chiropractic is not the end all be all, but when it comes to making sure that my brain and my body are properly communicating, so that when I do exercise, when I do eat right, when I do meditate, when I do my massages, when I do any type of medical intervention, at least my body's processing it the right way, right it's it's getting the information the right way, and it's using it. But if I'm so drugged up and my brain doesn't know truth from, you know reality from fiction, because it's being lied to by all the chemistry that's in my body, then how do you ever expect your body to be healthy? This is why, I mean, I remember growing up at one aspirin a day. It's what you do for your heart. Now we have so many gastrointestinal issues, it's unbelievable.

01:05:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I'm going to answer that in two different ways. Number one, for me personally, my legacy is just to get people to think differently. If you just, if you're just willing to think differently, I don't care where that takes you. Maybe it takes you away from my opinion. I don't care. I just don't want you to believe what someone else told you to believe. I want you to believe something because you did the work and you gathered the information you needed to do it. I Some of my best friends are on the other side of the political spectrum, but I love them because it's just the way they view the world. It's not that they're buying into someone else's BS. And so we don't have to agree. I can celebrate our differences and respect you because of your commitment and your diligence, even if it's different than mine, because I think our world needs difference of opinion in order to get to a true, raw, appropriate product, anything untested, anything unchallenged, will never be the best ever, ever. That's why we're at a four minute mile because someone thought they could beat the five minute mile, and someone we're at a five minute mile because someone said they could beat a six minute mile. Beat a six mi...
