Donald
D. Harrison, PhD, DC, MSE Originator of CBP® Technique Recently
some relatively amazing things have come about for CBP® technique in
general and the Harrison’s in particular.
In 1999, Sang and I had our largest total seminar attendance,
Deed and Shirlene paid off their clinic building, we passed 40 published
research papers, Deed and I were invited to speak at the World
Federation of Chiropractic on CBP® Research, and we had our outline on
3-point bending lumbar traction approved for poster board presentation
at the upcoming International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine
(ISSLS).
Also we were informed that another chiropractic college began to
teach CBP® technique, we had preliminary feelers from four other
chiropractic colleges that they might be interested in offering CBP®
technique in the future, and I was asked to speak at Palmer College’s
Lyceum 2000 for the first time. I finished my spinal model (a life-long
dream) with the help of the Life CBP® Club, Tad Janik, PhD and Phil
Paulk, DC. I met Martin Normand, PhD, DC, MS, who wants to help me with
posture research at his biomechanics lab at the University of Quebec,
and I met the Tonix Corporation’s CEO, Sylvain Guimond, who wants to
help me finish all my dreamed- about efficacy studies in chiropractic.
I read somewhere that if one finally reaches 10% of a population
(so called “critical mass,”) then “bang,” good things begin to
happen. After 10 years of publishing the American Journal of Clinical
Chiropractic (AJCC), Sang and I wonder if our journal finally reached
enough readers (AJCC went to 62,000 DCs in the USA, and we went out to
all Canadian Chiropractors in this issue) or if we have enough hard
working, dedicated practitioners who are making a difference or if the
other seminars mentioning our good research and methods have helped us.
Whatever the reason, Sang and I look forward to a new exciting
year for CBP® technique, CBP® research, and this journal. |
