A Moment of Silence for Walter B. Wolf,DC,FICC

Editorial Staff

Walter B. Wolf, a pioneering member of the NCA Council on Education (NCACE), the forerunner of the Council on Chiropractic Education, passed away on Friday, March 15, at the age of 88.

Dr. Wolf was a 1936 graduate of the National College of Chiropractic, and later studied at Lincoln College in Indianapolis. He was the president of the South Dakota Chiropractic Association (1941-42) and a board member for many years. He also served nine years on the South Dakota Basic Science Board.

He was the recipient of the Lee-Homewood Chiropractic Heritage Award at the age of 81. The award is presented by the Association for the History of Chiropractic to " living pioneers who have made outstanding contributions to the chiropractic profession." Past recipients have included DCs Joseph Janse, Lorraine Golden, Dan Spears, W. Heath Quigley, and attorney George McAndrews.

Perhaps Dr. Wolf's greatest contribution to the chiropractic profession was his enduring service as a member of the NCACE (1947-1970). He was also chairman of the Committee on Educational Standards (later the CCE Commission on Accreditation) for 12 years, a period during which chiropractic made its difficult climb toward federal recognition.

By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).

Dynamic Diagnosis: Fortin's Finger, Minor's and Vanzetti's Signs

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
