Many of us take better care of our automobiles than we do our own bodies... yet the auto has replaceable parts.

The love you give away is the love you keep.

The master maker of the human body did not create you and then run off and leave you masterless. He stayed on the job as innate, as the fellow within, as nerve transmission controlling every function of life, as spirit from above-down, inside-out, expressing, creating, exploring, directing you in every field and phase of experience so that your home is truly the world and the world is your home.

The master of your body did not run off and leave you masterless.

Medical men have searched the world for remedies, desiring an antidote. Chiropractors find the cause in the person ailing.

Miracles are manifestations for which science has no definition, no analysis.

When man violates man's laws, we send him to jail and point the finger of scorn at him. When he violates nature's laws, we send him to a hospital, give him flowers, and feel sorry for him.

For you have in your possession a sacred trust. Guard it well.

We get sick because of something inside going wrong! We get well because of something inside going right!

To take in a new idea you must destroy the old, let go of old opinions, to observe and conceive new thoughts. To learn is but to change your opinion.

I will sell Chiropractic, serve Chiropractic, and save Chiropractic if it will take me twenty lifetimes to do it. I will promote it within the law, without the law, in keeping with the law or against the law in order to get sick people well and keep the well from getting sick.

It is the path of least resistance that makes rivers and men crooked.

Make your decision for what is right not expedient, and wash your mind of all compromise.

Smile and smile often. Smile regularly. Smile when you don't feel like it and you will feel like it when you smile.

In the future, Chiropractic will be valued for its preventative qualities as much as for relieving and adjusting the cause of ailments.

Innate must flow fully, freely, naturally; to, through, and into the educated brain to produce what education calls greatness.

Have you more faith in a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?

All the drugs in the world cannot adjust a subluxated vertebrae

Nature needs no help, just no interference.

The power that made the body, HEALS THE BODY. It happens no other way.

Healing is an inside job.

Knowledge is knowing a fact, wisdom is knowing what to do with that fact.

The preservation of health is easier than the cure for disease.

Medicine is about disease and what makes people die. Chiropractic is about life and what makes people live.

There is no effect without a cause. Chiropractors adjust causes. Others treat effects.

It takes 65 muscles to frown and 13 to make a smile. Why work overtime?

Chiropractic is health insurance. Premiums small. Dividends large!

INNATE is God in human beings. INNATE is good in human beings. INNATE cannot be cheated, violated, or tricked. INNATE is always waiting, ready to communicate with you, and when INNATE is in contact you are in tune with the Infinite.

Get the big idea and all else follows.

If the ‘germ theory of disease’ were correct, there’d be no one living to believe it.

Healing is a process afforded you by your Creator and is above and beyond the control of man. Your Chiropractor does everything possible to help Innate heal-but he cannot heal nor can anyone else produce healing for you. When the right adjustment is made, Innate goes to work. You feel the results when dis-ease turns to ease.

We never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.

Every organ in your body is connected to the one under your hat.

How do you make a dimmed light bright again? Remove the interference. How do you increase health in a dis-eased person? The same way!

While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.

So what Chiropractic does, is that it simply “takes the handcuffs off Nature”, as it were. By finding the particular vertebra that had shifted and restoring it to its natural position, the adjustment thus releases the natural flow of nerve impulse. When the maze of nerves, or Nature’s communication system, supplies the body with the energy it needs for well being, you have health.

Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die. Chiropractic is the study of health and what causes man to live.

B. J. Palmer: Biography and Life Work

B. J. Palmer was a notable Chiropractor. The story of B. J. Palmer began on September 10, 1881 in What Cheer, Iowa. The legacy of B. J. Palmer continues today, following their passing on May 27, 1961 in Sarasota, Florida.

Bartlett Joshua Palmer (September 10, 1881 – May 27, 1961) was an American chiropractor. He was the son of Daniel David Palmer (D. D.), the founder of chiropractic , and became known as the "Developer" of chiropractic.

Legacy and Personal Influence

Personally, B. J. Palmer was married to Mabel Heath.

Philosophical Views and Reflections

Following with the extensive world travels that was the trend in the 1920s, B.J., Mabel, and David traveled through most of Asia. He later wrote a book called Round the World with B.J. that would detail those trips and the people they met. He also published and read some of these stories in the Palmer School's newspaper and on WOC radio station.

On August 27, 1913, an incident occurred during a homecoming parade. It resulted in a lawsuit for attempted murder, filed against him by his father. The allegation that B.J. deliberately hit his father with a car on that occasion followed B.J. Palmer for the better part of a generation. A 2008 book, Trick or Treatment , repeats the story and states that in 1913 B.J. Palmer ran over his father at a homecoming parade for the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer died in Los Angeles. The official cause of death was recorded as typhoid . The book Trick or Treatment remarked "it seems more likely that his death was a direct result of injuries caused by his son." There was speculation it was not an accident, but rather a case of patricide . They had become bitter rivals over the leadership of chiropractic. Palmer resented his father for the way he treated his family, stating that his father beat three of his children with straps and was so much involved in chiropractic that "he hardly knew he had any children". claimed that his son B.J. struck him with his car. Chiropractic historian Joseph C. Keating, Jr. has described the patricide interpretation of the event as a myth and "absurd on its face" and cites an eyewitness who recalled that D.D. was not struck by B.J. 's car but, rather, had stumbled. He also says "Joy Loban, DC, executor of D.D. 's estate, voluntarily withdrew a civil suit claiming damages against B.J. Palmer, and that several grand juries repeatedly refused to bring criminal charges against the son." Palmer died October 20, 1913. One proposed cause of the accusations and responses was the competition between the schools (Palmer's and Universal's).
