New Upper Cervical Care Website | Upper Cervical Doctor Directory
About a year ago at a Blair seminar in Davenport I was having lunch with Roger Titone, developer of the Tytron infrared scanning device. He lives on a number of acres outside of Iowa City and expressed some very serious concerns regarding what Monsanto was doing to the soil and how they seem to be virtually unregulated. Check out the brief video http://films.nfb.ca/monsanto/, keeping in mind that “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!”
While on negative subjects, I might as well make you aware of a judgment against a chiropractor in Canada regarding manipulation and hearing loss. Sadly, it seems like a groundswell movement against neck adjustments is taking place just north of our border and I certainly hope the momentum can be stopped and the DC’s start to recognize that ‘done right’ neck adjustments produce results that are amazing, done wrong…You can check out
Got some reading time? I have attached the most recent data regarding ‘adverse reactions to prescription medication’ sent to me by Dr. Roger Morrison. It is longer than War and Peace and really makes you think of that famous quote from O. W. Holmes, M.D.-Professor of Medicine, Harvard University “If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity.”
(BTW-UCHCA has a boatload of UC posters (I have 5 of them!) at their site that really portrays the Upper Cervical message with beautiful natural pics and quotes like above or some of BJ’s. I’d highly recommend them for your office, keeping in mind that we learn by seeing!)
Speaking of UCHCA, I contacted Billy Doherty regarding the new UC site (www.uppercervicalcare.com) they announced and asked if it would be just for UCHC members or if it was for any UC doc. Here is his answer:
This site is for EVERYONE. It is a patient website designed to create awareness of upper cervical. We are selling placement to all UC docs who want to list their practices. UCHC offices will get their own subsite and preferred placement under the listings.
This is NOT a UCHC thing, This is an Upper Cervical thing. UpperCervicalCare.com is a separate company! Docs that want to be listed on the site will pay (prices TBD). A portion of their fee will go to Upper Cervical Research and the other will go to Uppercervicalcare.com to keep up the website.
The intent with this site is to:
- Create a greater awareness of upper Cervical across the world
- Have all UC docs refer family, friends, patients to the site because it is the MOST comprehensive place to find answers related to upper cervical!
- UC docs will want to be listed here
- This site will continually evolve with the help of all upper cervical doctors across the globe
It is so exciting to see young docs getting excited about UC. We had a Blair elective class last night at Life West and I discussed the fact that 99% of your patients will have had a trauma that initiated their health challenges but oddly enough will frequently deny such injuries…as if the mind does not want to relive that trauma. Dr. Dena King of Novato, CA has such a case worth reading: My “MS” patient made me cry the other day (for joy for her) - after her toggle I asked her if I could help her get up and straight back to the resting chairs. She looked at me clearly (remember her eyes used to roll around in the sockets and she couldn’t focus- too much effort) and said: “no, I can just lay her for the five minutes…it doesn’t hurt anymore. At home I’ve been getting to the point where I can lay on my right side for 15 min. before it hurts – but now I can lay here…I haven’t been able to lay on my right side my whole life…well, since the accident.” She then asked if her hip could really get better. (the entire Quadratus Lumborum was seized to the point of pulling her over severely to the left. Her legs would wobble like they were going to drop her with the knees going helter skelter and the hip was twisted into a pretzel.) - Now her low back has gained tremendous suppleness (still twisting but 78% better) I said to her: “you know you haven’t really told me about the accident before…” (piecemeal – but confusing…) She said in a quiet husky tight voice: “bad…really bad memories…don’t like to go back there….”
This is what she told me Tom: “I was 12 and my head was just about the height of the window – a little more – it was the top of the door that fractured my skull. The drunk hit us while we were doing 65 on the freeway overpass. He hit us so hard that we hit the guardrail and flipped over it (falling down to the underpass). Funny how I only remember little things from it like waking up and being pissed; reeaally pissed, that I couldn’t wash my hair for weeks of the blood and cerebral spinal fluid that was matting it. My jaw was fractured from the right side to the left- gapping on the right about this much (she used her fingers to show about 1-2 inches). My skull was fractured from the right side around the back like a new opening for the spine to come through and my pelvis was shattered….”
There was a looongg pause while I watched her remembering.
She said: “You know, I don’t hurt anymore like I did. Those headaches made me want to die and the “curse” was even worse…Now – its not so horrible – I can even tolerate it and its like I can go on now and even maybe have hope…”
I told her because of the progress we’ve seen – I’m pretty sure we can expect you to continue on this path so long as we keep your brainstem free of interference.
Did I tell you? She has a double Anteriority in the atlas AND in C2. Holy moly. The book doesn’t have an adjustment for C2 dble anteriority…
I do one side and then the other. I can finally feel the lateral masses which in the beginning were crammed SO far up they were actually behind the jaw muscles -REALLY hard to get a good contact. Now it appears they are realigning themselves more normally. Phew.
This is trust from a woman who had so many doctors over the years doing surgeries.(She loves to make a sound like a Ninja after I toggle her! 
When they first came in she was intimidating with her anger and distrust towards anyone who said they could help her. Now she hugs me and laughs a lot. (Thank God!!!)
Take care-
Tom

Trying to find a UCHCA doc for my sister-in-law in Asheville, NC. Can you provide a name, directory access, website or some info as to how and whom she can contact?
Thanks a bunch! I have been going to an UCHCA doc since February and my life has changed. The benefits could change my sister-in-law’s life as well.
Again, thank you.

If you go to http://uppercervicalcare.com, they have a listing of UCHCA doctors. If none are close on that list, try http://upcspine.com.
