Dr. Mike Burcon of Grand Rapids, MI. Mike has submitted a number of research articles on UC care benefiting Meniere’s, Trigeminal Neuralgia,… and I will update you when they are published. He does have a seminar coming up at his office, you can register by contacting him at drburcon@sbcglobal.net, and here is what he says:
My next Seminar for doctors and patients with one sided brain stem disorders is Saturday, November 14, 2009. It has been going below freezing here, so I have my fireplace video going in the waiting room to cheer folks up
You have to watch this video that Dr. Kirk Eriksen sent me( http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=mh5F5wP8RdU) and then play it in your office for your patients who want to argue with you about the value of the flu shot. Maybe it is a one in a million chance that you will be damaged by the shot. but based upon what you see,…IS IT WORTH IT???
When I graduated in 74, (NOT 1874!), I associated with a 1947 PSC HIO doc in San Francisco. The first sentence out of his mouth to me was, “The chiropractic colleges haven’t produced a decent chiropractor in a decade!” (I didn’t know I was so easy to read!) In case you feel the same way my field doctor felt, check out the article which I’ve attached. It was written by Palmer intern Jason Blackketter, who just finished his internship at my office. I wish you could read the Blair Society scholarship winners and you would be VERY IMPRESSED with these students who are well read on the Green Books and UC philosophy!!!
Speaking of motivated UC students, Laurie Millman is an 11th quarter Life University student who’d like to get a case study written up and possibly published. I’ve attached her entire request, which I’d like you to read, but here is a summary:
Dear Upper Cervical Docs:
I am an 11th qtr student at Life and I in the process of having to
write my senior research paper this quarter. For those unfamiliar with
the Senior Research course currently required in the Life curriculum,
that means that we need to pick a specific chiropractic case, and
write it into a case study for publication. Most students don’t get
their papers published however it that is ultimately my goal. I’m
taking this project very seriously and I feel strongly feel that with
the right case, I can do it!…I have a little over 4 weeks to get this written on top of a full
patient and course load so I’d like to see about getting this going
ASAP. So please, if anyone would like to get a great upper cervical
case study published, please contact me! This is a great way to spread
the UC word even further! Thank you all and God Bless!

Why do I think it is imperative that we support chiropractic students and prospective students? The day before I left California heading to Iowa to enroll in Palmer, I saw my optometrist for a check-up and when he heard of my intentions of becoming a chiropractor, he said, “Didn’t you hear? They disproved chiropractic!” Glad I’m stubborn and don’t take advice very well!!!
Got some new and dynamic UC offices opening ‘worldwide’ these days. Check out this announcement in the Tyler, Texas newspaper and add another UC doc to your referral list:

Oliver Specific Chiropractic LLC
(Located within Nu-Chiropractic)
1335 Dublin Road Suite 75-A
Columbus, Ohio 43215
Office: 614-551-1173
Dr. Nathan Berbereia was looking for a used Tytron infrared scanner (he found one last weekend..so you can find them every now and then) but he still need a knee chest adjusting table. So if any of you docs have a spare one, contact him at nberbereia@gmail.com. and help him out.
The very talented Drs. Lisa and Trent Pederson, recent Palmer Iowa grads, will be opening their practice in Kentucky. They are looking for all the equipment needed to open a Blair practice and want to get it done by December. So if you know of any available, contact them at punkinroller082@hotmail.com I have already warned my associate Dr. Allan ‘Tiger’ Cox that he will not be performing any “midnight auto supply” tactics on my office!!! (for those of you too young to know what that auto supply comment means, it represents young individuals who hop the fence at the junk yard and obtain their car parts for free…along with a nice dog bite on the posterior!!!)
I think we’d all agree that EVERYONE NEEDS UPPER CERVICAL CARE! (Unless they don’t have a spine…and no I did not just describe most of our politicians!) Anyway, I’ve attached an e-mail sent to me by a patient announcing that musician Phil Collins can no longer play the drums due to a neck injury. Interesting reading and I hope he hears about THE POWER OF UPPER CERVICAL!!!
Speaking of The Power of Upper Cervical, Dr. Dave Phillips wrote me asking how he can obtain multiple copies of the video. We play it continually in the office and loan a copy for two days to all new patients (this helps the spouse understand the Big Idea also) So I wrote the creative genius, Bill Barretta, who spent a year editing this film and attempted to alter my mug from Boris Karloff to Brad Pitt! (It took months of serious mental therapy for Bill following this impossible task) Anyway here is how you get the video:
The discount rates are still accessible by going to the site (www.thepowerofuppercervical. com), going to the order page and inputting the Affiliate Code “c1power”. Once input, a drop down menu of the pricing should appear. Orders over 500 only can be discussed for further discount with Joel Keyser at 1-310-207-5400
Dr. Phillips will be hosting a ‘Dinner with Doc’ as follows:You are invited to my ‘dinner with the doc’ Tuesday, November 17, 6pm. Honorary upper cervical Dr. James Tomasi, author of What Time Tuesday, and his wife Rhonda will be the keynote speaker. Location is to be announced in or near Bloomington, MN 5-10 minutes from the airport and Mall of America. Dr. Barbara Reed, UC doc of Ames, IA, had 226 people attend her dinner with the doc. What about you? You can contact James Tomasi direct line 704-323-9250 and Rhonda 918-606-2638. James & Rhonda want to help sick people with the truth of the power of upper cervical. Maybe it is time for you to host an Upper Cervical Dinner with Doc…..unless you can’t add one more patient to your office!!!
Why do Upper Cervical doctors work so hard at attempting to master the detection and correction of subluxations in the upper cervical spine? Read UCHC Dr. Rob Ohlsen of Geneseo, Ill account of an amazing recovery he is seeing in his office and you will realize, “Yes it is well worth the effort.”

Hi Tom,
Just wanted to keep in touch. It was nice seeing everyone in Atlanta. As you probably know , I’m not one to talk to much about patients we see. But today was a day,for me ,worth sharing. Had a 9yr old boy with pretty severe asthma. Parents drove over 6 hours to get to the office on Friday. Pretty much stuff as you would expect, on 2 drugs, and his steroid puffer(3-5 x a day). Consistent cough with any activity and every night almost all night long, for almost 4years. Would try to play different sports but within a few minutes of increased activity wheezing for air. Any type of increased activity even just walking up steps would bring on asthma attack. His face and body had that real puffy steroid look. Took Blair x-rays did chiro exam. X-rays showed 2c PRI , 1c ASR, was in a pattern, half inch short right leg, right head tilt. He has been adjusted off and on most of his life with full spine adjustments. I adjusted Axis and Atlas then rested him for about an hour. Post scan was a mirror image scan. Short leg down to less than a quarter inch. His Grandparents live in the Quad Cities so they spent the night there. I saw him on Sunday afternoon. No coughing at all,even all night long, didn’t need to use his puffer after waking up, ( a daily thing). He also went out and played football out in the back yard with his brothers , cousins, aunts, and uncles before coming out. No wheezing , coughing or loss of breath at all. Scans showed not in pattern, legs even, head tilt pretty much not present. Parents went home that night very happy about there son great one day progress. They decided to have him stay here and Grandparents would bring him out to office today to get checked one more time and then Grandparents would take him back home to Kentucky. Today’s visit, Grandparents said absolutely no coughing or asthma attacks at all. He also had his Grandparents take him to a skateboard park to play Sunday night and then this morning before coming out. They said they couldn’t say no because they had never gotten to see him play anything over the last few years without having an attack and getting sick and having to stop. Check show a very nice straight clear scan, legs balanced, head , shoulders , pelvis all level. I ask the little boy how he was feeling now. He said It is real nice to feel like a real person again and said thanks for helping him get better and then jumped up into the air and yelled I feel great! That’s when the tears came out of my eyes. It was just one of those moments when there is nothing better in life than,see how innate can re- create a little persons life in just an instant in time from a split second adjustment.. So I just wanted to say thank you to you for helping me to learn how to do the Blair work over the past few years. Thanks!!! Now I know that I do not do the healing but that a higher power does that when there is no interference, but man does it make a person feel that all the other crap we sometimes have to put up with is all worth it to see great things like this happen and to just be a small part of it. Oh and by the way, his Step dad got a set of x-rays and adjusted ASL while the little boy was resting. He has had severe left arm pain and complete numbness in his left pointer finger for almost over a year. After his rest period he sat up and exclaimed that the pain in his left arm was completely gone and he had complete feeling in his pointer finger. All on Saturday, not to bad for a day I don’t work on!

Take care-
Tom
