Title: Vaccination Exemptions: Government Looking to Control Parental Decision Making in California (AB2109)
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 03/13/12
Run Time: 41:53
Description: BREAKING NEWS— Like a thief in the night last year, it happened in Washington State. And now it’s poised and ready to happen in California. And if it happens in California, you can rest assure that the rest of the states will fall in line like dominos.
On February 23, 2012, Democratic California assembly member, and pediatric physician, Dr. Richard Pan, introduced Assembly Bill 2109 regarding vaccination exemptions.
“This bill, if passed, would require parents to obtain the signature of a ‘health care practitioner’ for a personal beliefs/religious exemption. MDs, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants can sign. Naturopaths and chiropractors cannot. The signature will need to be obtained on a separate form provided by the Department of Public Health, which states that the health care practitioner has provided risk and benefit information to the parent.”

Title: CCE Conversation Continues: NACIQI Hearings and Dr. Reggie Gold
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 03/31/12
Run Time: 71:42
Description: On today’s episode, we pause for a moment to pay homage to an incredible chiropracTOR that bid us farewell last week (March 24, 2012) — Dr. Reggie Gold. It is unlikely that we will see a warrior of his magnitude in our lifetime that matches his legacy. He truly will be missed. But while the man may be gone, his message will continue to burn bright in each and everyone that he touched.
And then…. as Reggie would have wanted, we press on for chiropracTIC as we listen in on the December 2011 US Department of Education’s NACIQI (National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity) hearing for the reaccreditation of the CCE (Council on Chiropractic Education). Plus, we revisit the March 2012 CCE Stakeholders Meeting and then play an interview we conducted on the subject while at the Fall 2011 New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekend with the chiropractic icon himself, Dr. Reggie Gold.

Title: CCE Drops Bombshell at 03/16/12 Stakeholder Meeting: An Interview with MCQI’s Dr. Steve Tullius
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 03/20/12
Run Time: 32:45
Description: BREAKING NEWS — On March 16, 2012, The Council of Chiropractic Education (CCE) held it’s first “Stakeholder Meeting”in which it invited select groups of the profession — an effort demonstrating it’s attempt to build bridges and resolve the record-breaking list of violations that were handed down to it from the Department of Education National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity’s (NACIQI) December reaccreditation hearings.
NACIQI found CCE to be in violation of 42 different issues. Most notable however was the “43rd violation” in which they stated: “In addition to the numerous issues identified in the staff report, NACIQI asks [CCE] to demonstrate compliance with Section 602.13 dealing with the wide acceptance of its standards, policies, procedures, and decisions; and to address how its standards advance quality in chiropractic education.” NACIQI granted the CCE continued accrediting authority provided that it could adequately resolve the list of violations within a year’s time. The “Stakeholder Meeting” was its first attempt to resolve issues surrounding being more representative of the differences in philosophy that exist in our profession.
Unfortunately, as we’ll find out from one of the attendees, the meeting ended up being quite the opposite. Today on Spinal Column Radio we welcome back the cofounder of the Movement for Chiropractic Quality and Integrity (MCQI), Dr. Steve Tullius, to find out the the “Stakeholder Meeting” was just that — “an attempt to ‘stake’ anyone that dare question CCE authority or make constructive comments regarding chiropractic education to the wall.”

Title: CCE Faces Department of Education — Insider’s View with Dr. Steve Tullius
Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar
Show Date: 12/14/11
Run Time: 38:08
Description: BREAKING NEWS — Today marks a Banner Day in ChiropracTIC and a major score for the Movement for Chiropractic Quality and Integrity! Today the Council of Chiropractic Education (CCE) faced the U.S. Department of Education’s National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) to answer to their history of unacceptable behavior of failing to represent the voice of the chiropractic profession.
Dr. Jay Komarek, one of the many chiropracTORS that showed up in Washington DC to testify and show support, stated, “I literally watched a member of the CCE choke on his words as he was confronted with this behavior.” Bottom line: The Council was given 12 months to clear up 41 violations including failure to represent the profession.
Today on Spinal Column Radio Dr. Steve Tullius, one of the main drivers in leading this movement that called the CCE to the mat, joins us via telephone from our nation’s capital to give us an insider’s view as to what went down today.
ChiropracTORS…. Today was just the start…. the Momentum is in our Favor… let’s Charge Forward and make the Necessary Change!
