THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO SO DIRIELOP CHIROPRACTIC THAT IT WOULD FIND AND LOCATE AND BE ABLE TO CORRECT A SPECIFIC CAUSE FOR EVERY DIS-EASE IN HUIVIAN BODY, AND TO so DEVELOP THIS PHILOSOPHY AND ART THAT IT WOULD BE MADE SCIENTIFIC, WHERE IT WOULD BE RECOONIZED AS SCIENTIFIC BY SCIENTI- FIC MEN, AND so PROVED BY USE OF SCIENTIFIC INSRUIVIENTS. BJ ln any government or ruling situation that resembles a dictatorship, there is lack of freedom. This often leads to revolution, after Which the other extreme is reached--total freedom is expressed, eventually to reach a center or standard. So it is in Chioropractic. We have experienced a revolution. We are no longer being Considered mixers for moving a segment below axis. The definition of Chiropractic is expanding. Numerous techniques are being taught, peddled , as it Were, and all of them are getting sick people Well, to one degree or another. We, at Palmer, at the Fountain- head, are experiencing this freedom, the aftermath of a revolution at the hub of Chiroprac- tic activity. We have the opportunity to be exposed to all techniques and philosophies and to decide Which one or ones maintain the truth of chiropractic, as all becomes centralized once more. Apply your ability With strong principles as your guide. Sort through your analysis and allow the artist Within you to blend your technique With the patient's needs. Ideals are like stars, you Will not succeed in touching them With your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of Waters, you choose them as your guides, and folloWing them you reach your destiny.

RIDLER A ALYSIS The Ridler technique of analysis deals with the energy system of the body. It makes particular use of the aura and cer- tain reflex points related to the functional and structural integrity of the systems of the body. This system of reflex points is arranged in series. Testing by contact any point in a series will indicate the functional inte- grity of the system up to that point. In using Ridler analysis the doctor is able to determine whether a particular re- flex point is active, thereby indicating a condition of dis-ease. Since these points are arranged in ser- ies he is able to trace the condition back to its ORIGIN be it emotional, structural, or nutritional. Making Contact with a reflex point in- volved in a dis-ease process might be lik- ened to shorting out that person's energy system, causing an immediate decrease in muscle strength. To trace the problem back to its origin involves making contact with other reflex points, representative of re- lated bodily processes, until the doctor finds one or more points that counter the weakness. Thus, as a reflex points in- volved in the same dis-ease process are contacted one after the other in series, the doctor can trace the problem back to its origin. The doctor may trace the problem to a subluxation, in which case a vertebral reflex point is active. There even exists a method to determine the specific listing. Most importantly, Ridler analysis in- forms the doctor as to the cause of the sub- luxation. lt is in this respect that Ridler analysis proves to be the most valuable. 1. CLAY THCMPSO , D.C. Having just returned from my second visit to Japan this year, holding a second seminar in Chiropractic practice and technique, I am delighted to see the enthusiastic response to my first visit. Most Doctors in Japan are bone setters and accupuncturists. Chiropractic has given them new insight into health and heal- ing where many are limiting their practice to adjusting the spine only. -ftt On the broad sense this has resulted in better results than any of the previous practices. It is difficult for the average oriental to understand why chiropirac- fff tors in the States are taking such interest in accupuncture when the results of Chiropractic afeiso far reaching. The world has known of accupuncture for so many years, had it created the results that some American Doctorslthinik it does, Chiropractic would never catch on in these far flung countries as itistoday. My technic is unlike most in the ease of application when properly understood. It affords the Doctor of Chiro- practic not only a superb method of analysis, but also gives an excellent means of verification of correction of the patient's problem following the adjustment. The philosophy of my approach is rather unique in its simplicity. It is based on the basic premise of Chiroprac- tic itself in that it utilizes the inherent or Innate ability of the human organism to maintain homeostasisg as well as the ability of the body to signal the approach or pre- sence of organic disturbances by way of various structural manifestations of adaption. It is in fact the interpretation of these structural changes, regardless of thier subtlty, that enables the practioner to correctally ascertain the patient's problem. In my seminars at home or in Japan, I maintain that Chiropractic is a complete and adequate healing arts profession within itself. There is no reason to deviate from the straight Chiropractic principles that B.J. set down in his writings. My technic reflects this idea in principle, and in practice. My best wishes to all, J. Clay Thompson, D.C.
