Excerpt from the Chiro Org History Section
An excerpt from the wonderful History archive that Dr. Joseph Keating entrusted to chiro.org. These pdf’s form the data source that Dr. Keating used for his many published articles on chiropractic history and are available for browsing.
Excerpted from the pdf on Clarence W. Weiant, DC.
“Chiropractic arrived so recently in Mexico, that the history of its
invasion into this new territory would hardly be worth relating, were
it not for the fact that in so doing I might convey to those who regard
Mexico as a prospective field of practice some idea of the conditions
they may expect to encounter.
When I left Davenport and THE PSC, it was with the exalted
notion that I was to be the pioneer Chiropractor of the whole
Mexican republic, but it was not necessary to go any farther than San
Antonio to have that notion dispelled, for there I learned through Dr.
Gurden , president of the Texas Chiropractic College, that three of his
graduates had already located in Mexican towns. The first, if I am
not mistaken, was Dr. S. Voquero, a native of South America, who, a
few months previous had opened an office in Monterey, in the state
of Nuevo Leon, northern Mexico, and the report was that he was
having noteworthy success.”
Are You Too Young To Supplement?
Are You Too Young To Supplement?

The whole point of nutritional supplementation should be about prevention, not reproducing the medical model of symptom treatment after the fact.
A new study involving 5,201 female U.S. Navy recruits puts this into clear perspective.
Half this group was given calcium and vitamin D supplementation during basic training, and the amazing result was a reduction of 25% in stress fractures. Considering that 21% of recruits usually experience a stress fracture, this was a big deal for the Navy.
Consider this: the average cost of a single soldier’s being discharged from basic training is estimated to be $34,000. By that standard alone, this study saved the Navy about 2.5 million dollars by reducing the discharge rate by 25%.

Because most of these articles involve nutritional supplementation as a component of case management, you may also want to refer to the Nutrition Section for more on that topic.
Elsevier Published Apparently Fake Journal for Merck
The Scientist‘s blog posted a very interesting article on April 30th.
The Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine has been reported as nothing more than an advertising and marketing tool for Fosamax and Vioxx. The journal was published from 2003-2004 by Exerpta Medica which is a division of Elsevier, resembled a peer-reviewed journal (complete with editorial board) and was paid for by Merck, the maker of both drugs. Nearly all of the advertising contained in the issues was dedicated to the two drugs and the papers published were “throwaways” which had been rejected by peer-reviewed scientific journals.
