Our Apologies to Connecticut Chiropractic Council Members

Editorial Staff

In our last issue (July 16, 2005), we reported that a number of Connecticut Chiropractic Association members had mobilized in order to contact NextMedia, owner of a billboard in New Haven, Conn., that attacked chiropractic. The billboard, which referred passers-by to a Web site called Neck911USA.com, offered the chilling words, "Warning: Chiropractic Adjustments Can Kill or Permanently Disable You."

After that article went to press, we became aware that members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council and others had also been involved in the effort to remove the offensive billboard. Our hats go off to all chiropractors, Connecticut Chiropractic Council and Connecticut Chiropractic Association members, and others who took the time to place the reported 247 phone calls that sent a clear message to NextMedia about the inappropriateness of the billboard.

The original article, "Chiropractic Comes Under Attack in Connecticut," is available online at www.chiroweb.com/archives/23/15/05.html.

From Taboo to Treatment: The Resurgence of Psychedelic Medicine
From Taboo to Treatment: The Resurgence of Psychedelic Medicine

Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. 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.
