Title: The CA Super Show: Phyllis Frase and Dana Pitner
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 03/01/13
Run Time: 127:29
Description: In today’s episode Dr. Lamar pays tribute to the Chiropractic Assistant — the oft unsung heroine (but sometimes hero) in every successful chiropractic office. Joining Dr. Lamar on the program, is his Heroine-Chiropractic-Assistant, Maria. Listen in as he and his CA of nearly 12 years play two amazing interviews from two top-notch CA’s, Phyllis Frase and Dana Pitner. These are ladies that know how to “walk the talk” as they roll up their sleeves each and every week to jump in the trenches to train other CA’s and their DC’s to take their game to the next level. Plus, we all know the history of the DC… but what about the CA??? Lamar digs deep to find out about this little-known history lesson by calling up the BJ Palmer Mansion.
(Phyllis Frase interview recorded at the 2012 California Jam, Costa Mesa, California. Dana Pitner Interview recorded at the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend in Long Branch, New Jersey. This episode is proudly sponsored by BalimoChairs.com).

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.
I set out on a hunt to find a copy of it and to find out why DD was writing about ghosts. Continue reading

by Todd Waters, aka “The Chiro-Picker” – SpinalColumnRadio featured blogger
Before I became interested in collecting chiropractic antiques, I frequented garage sales and estate sales picking up anything that caught my eye — never really giving the process much thought. Now, I know that BJ Palmer would have said that Innate was telling me what items to choose and which to pass by.
On my latest venture, Innate told me to “keep looking… there is more to be found… keep looking.”
It was an estate sale, and I went straight for the basement.
I like basements because they contain a grab bag of unusual odds and ends that have been tucked away for years. The ironic thing is that this basement was practically in my own backyard, just minutes from my home.
And there it was, right before me… Continue reading

SHOW NOTES
Title: Retire in Practice with Dr. Jay and Kathi Handt AND the Wisdom of 1951 PSC Grad Dr. Pierre Gravel
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 11/02/12
Run Time: 101:32
Description: On today’s program, Dr. Thomas Lamar continues on the momentum of the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Weekend to bring two more fascinating interviews to the Spinal Column Radio air waves. First, he sits down with Dr. Jay and Kathi Handt to find out what it means to “retire in practice” — an “out of the box” concept that is the title of their recently published book. It’s easier and more possible than you may think. Then Dr. Lamar sits down with a chiropracTOR who, you could say, has “retired in practice,” 1951 Palmer School of Chiropractic graduate, Dr. Pierre Gravel. Listen in to the stories and insight of this sage chiropracTOR. Plus, Dr. Lamar recalls the sweetest part of his Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend experience. (Interviews with Dr. Jay and Kathi Handt and Dr. Pierre Gravel recorded and at the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend in Long Branch, New Jersey).
