Activator Methods Lawsuit Ends

Editorial Staff

In December 2000, Christopher Colloca, DC, filed a lawsuit challenging the ownership of Activator Methods International (AMI). The lawsuit was filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court of Arizona.

On Aug. 13, 2003, the court entered judgments in favor of AMI president Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr and his wife, Judi J. Fuhr, on all of the claims relating to Dr. Colloca's stock purchase agreement. The court also entered verdicts in favor of AMI on several issues related to Dr. Colloca's employment with AMI.

After those verdicts were handed down, the parties settled the remaining claims with no payment of money to the Collocas or their attorneys.

"We're pleased that the nearly three-year-old litigation ended in our favor," commented Dr. Arlan Fuhr, president and co-founder of Activator Methods International. "We are extremely grateful for the support we've received from our friends and family throughout this litigation."

Activator Methods and Dr. Fuhr look forward to continuing to provide chiropractic continuing education seminars and adjusting equipment to chiropractors throughout the world.

From Taboo to Treatment: The Resurgence of Psychedelic Medicine

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.
