DD collected wild game heads, BJ: bones… Lamar: animal vertebrae.
One of my favorite pics: patients’ no-longer-needed crutches hang from the wall in DD Palmer’s Ryan Block office.
Favorite pic of the garden: pond housed alligators in the summer, totem poles came from Seattle, and sign by the back door said: To See BJ! Pull Latch & String.
Description: BJ Palmer, the Developer of ChiropracTIC, is known for many things — one of which is the seemingly countless inspirational and THOT-provoking epigrams he scribed on the walls of the Palmer School of Chiropractic. In addition to impacting and encouraging all who read them, these quotes, in many ways described him… and worked to define him. Join Dr. Thomas Lamar for this very special episode of Spinal Column Radio in which he, along with Drs. Simon Senzon, Robert Borer, and Myron Brown — and of course, the ChiroPicker, Todd Waters — step back in time to discuss this fascinating characteristic associated with BJ of Davenport.

Description: Dr. Thomas Lamar is talking about Old Time Radio again! Join him as he steps back in time to tune in chiropractic-radio-past to talk about the “other” radio station BJ Palmer is known for: Station WHO. Plus he empties the Fall 2012 New Beginnings Interview Vault to share two great interviews. In the number one slot: Dr. Eric Plasker, author of the international best-selling 100 Year Lifestyle returns to share the keys to revolutionizing our patient education. Then, in the number two slot: Blue Books auTHOR, educaTOR, and long time chiropracTOR, Dr. Joe Strauss sits down to talk about drawing lines — demarcating between not only chiropractic and medicine, but chiropractic philosophy and Christianity. At the half way point, Dr. Lamar gives an overview of his “Mission Possible” ChiroFEST 2013 experience and shares an interviewette he did with the well-known GMO Health-Risk Expert, Jeffery Smith. Plus, take a virtual “tour of the mind” through BJ’s first radio station: WOC; marvel at the POP; learn all about parachuting cats, and enjoy the radio stories of former President of the United States, Ronald “Dutch” Reagan — Palmer’s most remembered station employee.
