Our nervous system is the communication channel between our brain and it's end organs, (stomach, lungs, kidneys, etc) if the nerves are not able to get proper signal back and forth, what would any reasonable, thinking, non-biased, person expect to have happen to the body? It's really,just common sense.The book is very helpful in illustrating how the process occurs.

Definitely A Must-Read
I also am a chiropractor and I have to disagree with the other chiropractor's opinion.I have personally witnessed and hear about chiropractic miracles every day.These are related to conditions other than pain syndromes and musculoskeletal problems.Patients who experience a multitude of visceral problems and symptoms somehow see a reduction in/elimination of these problems and symptoms.So the question is why/how does this happen?This book helps us to answer some of these questions.There are many other sources to check regarding this, including numerous research articles.Check for yourself, the research is out there and accessible.As a society, we are becoming more and more unhealthy, even though we are living longer due to modern technology.The bottom line is, there are many questions that continue to need to be answered, but let's not close the door and our minds to the possibilities that already exist and that will continue to become less of a secret and become more well known and accepted.

Excellent book by excellent doctors
The authors of the book are my chiropractors. They are very well learned and have written a very informative book, containing loads of info.Read more

Outstanding review book or introductory text
This book is useful in several ways.As a student rotating in PM&R it is unlikely that you will spend >$100 for a text.Also it is impossible to really read a significant amount of the larger texts out there in the course of a 4 week rotation.the review book allows students to focus their reading and hit the main points.Reading here will allow for greater learning on the unit.

Real Good Book for every chiropractor
I find it amusing that some doctors get angry when we speak of differential diagnosis in chiropractic. To make it clear chiropractic is a university level program of 5 years (where I come from) with 1000+ hours in diagnostic. This book is an excellent reference for every practicing chiropractor. Former guy is just a small headed MD who is jealous
This book is very informative in the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders. True it is written more for the chiropractor but if you look at the title of the book you might have an idea why it is written the way it is. The former reviewer is obvioulsy a MD or someone who does not believe in the chiropractic healing methods. He would rather rely on drugs and making drug companies happy than treating people the right way. I diagnosed my mother with subtrochanteric bursitis through this book. I am in my 8th tri of chiropractic school. Do you want to know how she was treated by MDs. A nerve block!!!! To the L4 nerve....now hmmmm maybe more MDs should read this book.

Chiropractic Trash
This is a core textbook at many chiropractic colleges for differential diagnosis.Many chiropractic students love it because it mixes medical differential diagnosis with chiropractic quackery so the quackery looks legitimate to the uninformed.Read more

Breakthrough Book
This book is immediately helpful!After reading through a very interesting life story of the author, the book outlines simple details of THE TOOL.Using THE TOOL has helped me to clear up a sinus condition the very first time I tried it ! A truly inspiring story of personal triumph.
I was deeply inspired at reading Byron Gentry's biography, and about the self-help work he discovered and developed. This book empowers readers to quickly, simply, and painlessly make positive changes in their lives.

Easily understood by beginners interested in mental healing.
Dr. & Mrs. Gentry have condensed years of research and development into a concise methodology that even beginners can follow.I have used his methods for the past five years--they are failsafe. Especially useful ishis method for energizing compatibility between two or more people.I haveused his beacon method to bring to my practice just the right clientelewhom I can help, are interested in my work, can benefit from it, can payfor it and who can refer other clients to me.His life story is veryinteresting.Dr. & Mrs. Gentry continue to do research.The key to dowhat they do is to practice, practice, practice!Mental healing takesenergy and preciseness, conviction and intention.As he teaches, most ofus spend too much time being angry--we waste vital energy.We need to takethe energy we conjure up when angry & turn it and ourselves intopositive energy to heal.Angry energy might as well be a shot gun. Healing energy is the miracle!It's free and abundant--everyone canmanifest it. ... Read more

Great book to accompany text
The pictures are wonderful.It's filled with a lot of radiographic info that every chiropractic student should know for the boards and hard and soft tissue pathology classes.Although Dr. Yochum at times may write in a highly professional fashion, his thoughts are conveyed with the utmost care and knowledge on the subject.His textbook and his study guide great foundations of knowledge for any chiropractic student and now being a doctor of chiropractic, I have been using his book as a reference for a few years now.For the chiropractic boards, I used the following as references which helped me to pass and not spend another 6 months in limbo.I used Leonardi's National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: isbn: 0974328731, National Board of Chiropractic Part III Study Guide: isbn:0974328723, National Board of Chiropractic Part IV Study Guide: 0974328766 Volume 1, National Board of Chiropractic Part IV Study Guide: 0974328774 Volume 2. ...
