...No chaos in nature but it appears that way to you.   As you know, Christ's birthday is not even on the day his followers celebrate it. 

...Today I spoke to a patient about choosing an orthopaedic surgeon for her son, who traumatised his elbow.   I called another patient who works in the medical field to check out this specialist.   Then called the first mum back to let her know she was on the right track.

...Yesterday a patient visited me on the way back from hospital (so the ER could check him for any dangerous infections that I suspected).   He was clear, but I told his mother (another mum/son day!) ...  They were happy and wanted to see if his spine was clear, on the way home.


...There's your service to mankind and god, whomever that is to you. 

...There is no division between the mind and body - The inner knower and the outer doer - The observer and the observed. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Political Groups</title><dc:creator>info@atlasorthogonal.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>Joe Bloggs BJ</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-02-21T22:14:07+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/66aac9df7991568f2959a8f88588278f-10.html#unique-entry-id-10</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/66aac9df7991568f2959a8f88588278f-10.html#unique-entry-id-10</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Each time you observe your purpose, it should be new...smell new, feel new...have a vibrancy.


...You know its a curious thing of value, but in the scheme of things, it rightly happens that the goal never does change. 

...I was too dogmatic, or so it appeared, but it was the time...it was a war. 


...If Jesus Christ had a secretary they would have put it all on a web site or YouTube. 

...Don't despair your leaders, they do their best on the whole, but don't take your eyes off of it. 

...One day you will realise that nothing in the past matters except to entertain you by the light of the fireflies (too bad you don't get them here)--


...--If you kill your brother to marry your sister you still end up with her!


...If you love your brother and find your own wife, that makes the whole thing better. 


You could wipe out all the MDs tomorrow by giving them most of their drugs, but that achieves nothing. 

...Don't despair my friend, chiropractic will last about 200 years the way it is.


But you will always recognise one thing: They can heal, these patients.

...We broadcast the word far and wide. 

...But the time has come to draw in the troops, the footsoldiers of health: Your patients.


...We put up patient stories all the time.


...You all see thousands of people per day.   Where is the money for research?


It should not be coming out of your pocket, you have paid for your tuition, your offices, the rent.   Use your brain, your collective brain and get the money flowing in support of what you do.


Generate interest...get the governments to give you the cash.


I met movie stars, presidents, politicians who all got behind the "cow".


Keep milking her, but make sure you don't have to feed her too...get a hold of some of those Bulls in government to take care of the COW!

...BJ: I know what I saw was upper cervical, I don't know why he wrote T4 but I have a feeling it was because of the medical profession at the time.


Joe: What did they have to do with it?


BJ: Well, I think it was because of a safety issue.   The medics would shout "don't let them touch the neck, don't let anyone toy with your neck..."!!!!!


...Do you think its any different out there about the so-called dangers of manipulation? 

...Joe: I know, I wrote a site called chiropracticsafety to create information on this


...Joe: So even then, back a hundred years ago the same thing went on...now all they can come up with to counter our efficacy is a question of safety.   A recent paediatric study found  that virtually no child had been hurt, ever, and they still recommended safety cautions to all users of manipulation.


...These people should be behind bars for inciting panic and, more importantly, for demeaning scientific research to a political stunt.


...But if you do not claim it, in the name of my legacy of work, just as your friend Greg Buchanan so vehemently states, you will leave it to others with less noble motivations at heart.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Action is Chiropractic</title><dc:creator>info@atlasorthogonal.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>Joe Bloggs BJ</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-03-09T10:51:20+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/a9dfe71e340d6f2c1926c6d8467d5d94-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/a9dfe71e340d6f2c1926c6d8467d5d94-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[all sorts of connotations come to mind: philosophical jargon - with respect - yours and others' polemics, and concrete definitions that mean less and less each time you hear them. 

...BJ: Your colleague, whose father was my friend, Dr Stanley Bolton, once told you "chiropractic is: what it is"...did you understand what he meant?


...You can have some freaks of nature out there who may wave a wand and call it chiropractic, but it is generally what the majority of your peers does that defines us.


...Now that I am gone, you need to observe the legacy that I left, and move on.


...Take the one thing that you have ever done with a patient...one thing...and gotten the maximum effect with.


...Most of us in the early days had great healing from something a chiropractor did, and we then became chiropractors and focused on that ourselves. 

...Now, if the one thing that you did to that patient was to adjust atlas, do it. 

...Most chiropractors agree that if there was one area they could adjust, only one segment, and for some reason could not affect any other, which is it they all profess it to be?


...But do you know how many take the time and attention to study that area and how to affect it best? 


Your teacher and my student, the late, learned Dr Virgil V Strang said: "I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of patients I have who understand and know chiropractic philosophy. 

...Then, most of the time, you will not even care to define what chiropractic is.

BJ: There is a saying "I have stood on the shoulders of giants" to gain wisdom, or however it goes.   As long as you give credit where it is due, the universal laws will provide.   Nobody owns chiropractic except the person who does it to his central calling, and can verbalise or initialise credit to those who went before.


...If I was a god then so are you...and that, dare I say, would make God somewhat mediocre!


...The use of spinal adjustment does NOT do the miracle, but is involved in it, if such a thing is possible...and it is. 


So what we are saying is; these other professions who profess to do what you perceive as your own are quite possibly your allies, so give them a chance.   If they are not giving credit to the "giants shoulders" they've stood upon, then consider them lost in their own ego. ...  But it is one way to tell if someone acts out of selfish gratification: ask them where they got their craft.   And if it is manipulation of the spine, they should not stop at DD Palmer but go all the way back to Hippocrates and the ancient Egyptians.


...At this point I not sure what that will end up being but remember what I have said in the past: knowledge is always limited - it is the momentary experience that is valid. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Sub-lux-ation Rules</title><dc:creator>info@atlasorthogonal.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>Joe Bloggs BJ</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-02-18T22:08:34+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/subluxation.html#unique-entry-id-3</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/subluxation.html#unique-entry-id-3</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I don't think the phenomenon of upper cervical, with the positional analysis, with the vector formation, was ever in existenc before my father did what he did. ...  People who shun subluxation (rightly or wrongly) have no idea of what context surrounded it when set into place.


People do not have any problem with reading blood pressure and deciding that it is the cause of a host of disorders.   Subluxation is actually pretty clear, to me, and it must be researched in the context of learning, not dogma. ...  Change the name if you wish, but don't throw out the possibility that disease can arise from spinal origin.


...There was a time when we could find little else that some chiropractor had not helped cure at one time at any location in the USA.


...And  did you realise that it was going to be a fight to establish the theories?   The evidence based literature still does this today: calls it chiropractic manipulation treating back pain, then you find it is just a study consisting of non-specific side-posture manipulation of the lumbo-pelvic area to treat pain. 

...BJ: Yes, because they don't get the same results with what they are doing and then they want to eradicate its use. 

...Just when we bother to prove that gravity is a constant truth, we walk on the moon.   It is all so dynamic that the key to healing is not so much as understanding a law, but being in a moment. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>The Green Books</title><dc:creator>info@atlasorthogonal.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>Joe Bloggs BJ</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-02-14T22:32:48+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/greenbooks.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/greenbooks.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Joe: BJ, from within which context do you wish us to study your Green Books?


BJ: Read them, study them, certainly, but make them your own.   Do what you do as you only can. 


...Things will be revealed to you in the near future; ways of doing this better.


...Joe: I guess any specific atlas adjustment is going to make a difference?


...Joe: I mean there are so few of us in this country doing it as you planned.


BJ: There are lots of things in the world that need to be done. 

...Not that you will cure everyone...people choose their own cure.   But if you get that adjustment right - as fast and as safely and as precisely as possible - then you never have to think twice about whether the change occurred.


Of course, just make sure that when you're questioned by the establishment that there is no lack of instrumentation to document a result.


The Green Books are really just thoughts - sorry, Thots (got to keep the fans happy) - you can think can't you? ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Upper Cervical in Australia</title><dc:creator>info@atlasorthogonal.com.au</dc:creator><dc:subject>Joe Bloggs BJ</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-02-09T11:42:05+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/australia.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bjpalmer.com.au/bjp/joebloggsbj_files/australia.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Joe: Why is upper cervical specific in a barren state in Australia?

Joe: Well, I get enquiries from all over Australia on my web site, and all over Europe, UK and there is virtually nobody there.   I am the only Chiropractor in Australia Actively teaching upper cervical, to my knowledge...why?

BJ: Who are  you to tell the chiropractic community what to do?   Why do you care? ...  I struggled and delighted for over 20 years...  I never looked over my shoulder, I never worried about gaining approval.


Joe: I see
