Contemporary chiropractic is generally divided into three basic schools - straight, mixer, and reform - which differ in their approaches to patient care. However, all chiropractic approaches are, at a minimum, heavily based on the use of manipulation as a treatment for mechanical musculoskeletal dysfunction of the spine and extremities. Straight chiropractors only concern themselves with vertebral subluxation correction. Practitioners often use varying vertebral manipulation techniques known as "adjustments" for th ...

Friedrich Nietzsche's explanations of human ethics and moral consciousness in Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morals posit a similar developmental path. The first humans followed a "noble" ethic, but their consciousness was shallow and limited at best. When the Judeo-Christian tradition turned the will in on itself, as Nietzsche claims, the human soul became complex and intelligent, although it lost the "noble" ethic, which was replaced by an ethic of "ressentiment." Although their ideas are similar, ther ...

Soon after beginning professional life as a psychiatrist, Hawkins fell ill of "a progressive, fatal illness that did not respond to any treatments." The illness was not named by Hawkins, though it has been suggested that it could have been alcoholism. He recounts that, on the brink of death at the age of 38, he gave up and had an enlightenment experience which altered his life completely. He later resumed clinical psychiatry practice in New York where he claims to have built the largest psychiatric practice in New York with 50 therapists and ...

A person in the bicameral state would behave as a typical schizophrenic. The bicameral state produces the feeling of the mind sub-ordinated, due to the receiving of orders that cannot be ignored. It has also been argued that this state of mind is present in members of cults.[2] Jaynes speculated that "voices" came from the right brain counterparts of the left brain language centres. More specifically, the counterparts to Wernicke's area and Broca's area. These ...

The use of manipulative therapy — especially as practiced by chiropractors — is regarded with controversy by medical authorities in many nations. Of interest is that Hippocrates, considered to be the Father of Medicine, describes manipulative therapy utilizing various methods of spinal realignment in his writings. Its use throughout history is well-documented. [7] It is covered by many health plans such as Medicare in the United States. Although some medical doctors (MDs), many doctors of osteopathy (DOs), as well as some Physical Therap ...

One of Hawkins claims is that through AK, it is possible to muscle test and determine how in line with truth something is. He calls this "calibration", which runs on his own developed logarithmic scale of 1 (least true as possible) to 1000 (most in line with truth). Hawkins calibrates institutions, religions, books, governments and emotions. Through the use of this technique, he has calibrated the teachings of varous institutions and religions, and even his own work. For example, one of his books calibrated at 999.8, which is .2 away from Jesus Christ, Buddha and Krishna, who are all "1000" (the highest level ...

Critics, including many mainstream medical doctors and scientists, often reject the claims of some chiropractic associations and schools as pseudoscience, quackery, or fraud. Advocates believe at least some of this criticism was encouraged by the American Medical Association during the 1970s and early 1980s in what they have labeled "anti-chiropractic prejudice". In 1985, The National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF), a non-profit healthcare watch-dog group, issued a position statement critical of chiropractic.

Palmer imbued the term "subluxation" with a metaphysical and philosophical meaning. He held that certain dislocations of bones interfered with the "innate intelligence", a kind of spiritual energy or life force dependent upon God that connects the brain to the rest of the body.

Julian Jaynes proposed in 1976 that human brains existed in a bicameral state until as recently as 3000 years ago in his work The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Jaynes asserts that until the times written about in Homer's Iliad, humans did not have the "interior monologue" that is characteristic of consciousness as most people experience it today. Jaynes believes that the bicameral mental commands were at some point believed to be issued by "gods"—so often recorded in ancient myths, legends and historical accou ...
