As a non-DC, but avid DC-historian, I can speak with some authority when I say chiropractors have never had an easy time selling what they do to the public. Although chiropractic is beneficial to the health of man, it is difficult to quickly explain to the layperson what it is — and on the flip side, what it isn’t. Chiropractic concepts are further complicated when potential patients must “unlearn” what hearsay has taught them.
From its beginning, the chiropractic profession has been smeared by other practitioners of health care, driven by competition and misunderstanding.
However, there was a period in chiropractic’s early life where the profession was under attack by clowns… Literally.

Show Date: 03/29/13
Run Time: 186:09
Description: Chiro-Picker Todd Waters and Bay City, Michigan ChiropracTOR, TJ Neveau, gently push Lamar aside and team up to run the first ever SCR-Fan-Takeover Show. Join them for our final installment in this Remembering Reggie Collection that features an amazing ChiroPicker find of a 16 rpm phonograph record of Reggie Gold delivering a 2-hour patient lay lecture. The two play a number of clips from this rare recording and add some insightful commentary. This ChiroPicker find from the late 60’s is Reggie at his classic best and belongs in every chiropracTOR’s 
listening library; AND the Picker wants you to have it in exchange for visiting the SCR Box on the Wall to ensure this chiropracTIC resource of Spinal Column Radio will stay on the Internet Air for generations to come (listen at the 3 hour mark for more info). In addition, Waters and Neveau, cover a wide range of other TIC Topics and even find themselves having to deal with the Developer and Radio Pioneer, himself, Dr. BJ Palmer meddling with their broadcast. The question is… can Lamar really let go and let these two (or three) drive?

Reggie Gold one of Chiropractic’s last living legends and master of communication passed away March 24 2012. I had little knowledge of Reggie until I heard his interviews here on Spinalcolumnradio.
As a Picker of collectibles, one of my specialties is record LP’s. The more unusual the subject matter on the record, the more interesting it becomes to me. I am especially intrigued with spoken word records when an author reads his work, or a pilot instructs how to fly a plane, …or even when — as you’ll soon find out — a master at communicating the chiropractic message demonstrates his art in front of a live audience.

Ok, get this… TRUE STORY.
“The picker in me told me to turn my car around and go retrieve the body.”
Let me explain…

Why was DD Palmer — the founder of chiropractic — writing about ghosts??? And why can we not find these writings today?
In Old Dad Chiro, Palmer’s biographer, Vern Gielow tells us that the Aledo, Illinois Public Library held only the cover to his A Day and Night With the Spirits. Published in 1880, this text revealed the profitable hoax that a JH Mott played on people wishing to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. This 40-page booklet would have been a very limited run and most likely thrown out with yesterday’s news after a single reading — which accounts for why it is so scarce today.
Actual ad for Spirits Book. This ad — aside from Palmer’s biography — is the only physical proof we have now that his Spirit Book ever existed.
