Deduction

Joe Strauss — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 20:29:28 +0000

Other than the chiropractic profession, there is hardly a profession in existence (beside orthodox theology) that places any evidence on deduction. Even medical/health procedure is pretty much focused on the inductive method. Science is king and research seems to be the stepchild of that royalty despite the fact that it entirely negates deduction and emphasizes induction only until new information contradicts and negates the conclusions of present inductive data.

Premise #1

Chiropractic is deductive and may be explained by its 33 principles.

Enlightenment

Joe Strauss — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 01:25:44 +0000

We are in union with a Creative Intelligence. That occurs by The humanistic philosophy of the 18th century, the transcendental meditation of the 20th century and the Palmer philosophy of the 19th century. The only thing that kept chiropractic from going that way is the Objective chiropractic philosophy and making that capital O,-GOD

Parts of the Whole

What affects our ability to concentrate? I remember once burning me finger. For the next hour or so, I could focus on nothing but the pain in that little finger and could not concentrate on anything else. Does our focus/concentration on getting sick people well cause us to lose our focus/concentration on our objective?

Does that constitute a promise or imply a cure?

Ui and God

The major premise is pantheistic, God is not pantheism. There is a difference between theism and pantheism. Theism transcends the material.

Our Chiropractic Philosophy V. THE Chiropractic Objective

Joe Strauss — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 01:56:59 +0000

The former takes a lifetime of study and is wrought with potential for error. I have made some, bJ more because he wrote more. THE Objective can be summed up in one sentence. OSC is the chiropractic philosophy based upon years of study and/of the 33 principles. TSC is based upon the writings of BJ,DD ... Read more

Intersectional Policy

Joe Strauss — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 01:49:35 +0000

A new phrase to describe what is really an attempt to bring together different world an life viewpoints under the same umbrella. It is really an attempt to legitimatize all, viewpoints, even those we would traditionally oppose. What’s the difference between that and chiropractors opposing other W&L viewpoints like immunization and other “health” programs.

"Fractious" Chiropractic

Joe Strauss — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 01:47:22 +0000

Definition: tending to be troublesome,unruly, quarrelsome,irritable. Boy if that does not describe chiropractic, I don’t know what does? It does not reach the level of violence…. yet.

God and the ui/ii controversy

Joe Strauss — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 20:31:15 +0000

Some years ago 2 Christian women came to my office and told me that they had been to a chiropractor who had explained that universal intelligence/innate intelligence were equivalent to God within man. I knew that the ultimate source of that belief came from D.D. and B.J. Palmer. Before dismissing chiropractic as a cult or religion and discontinuing their chiropractic care because it conflicted with their Christian belief, they came to me. They had heard that I shared their common faith. I proceeded to share with them my understanding of both universal intelligence and innate intelligence as they relate to our chiropractic philosophy. I explained that both chiropractic and Christianity speak truth and they should not be in conflict. They understood and went on their way. I don’t know if they continued under chiropractic care.
I explained to my practice members my Objective Straight Chiropractic perspective on universal intelligence and innate intelligence, that is, that God and universal intelligence are not synonymous. Rather, God is eternal, much more than ui/ii and He pre-existed all of His creation, both material and non-material. Universal intelligence and innate intelligence in the matter that He created, including man, are manifestations of His Essence relating to matter. Traditional Straight Chiropractors believe, on the contrary, the perspective of D.D. and B.J. who believed that God and ui/ii are synonymous. As I began to reconcile my chiropractic philosophy with my theology, without giving up either, I have had to reject some of the Palmer “philosophy,” including “chiropractic gets sick people well” and the idea that God is synonymous with ui/ii. I totally believe and embrace the 33 Principles which do not conflict with my theology or OSC.
