CBP® Research Update
by Sanghak O. Harrison, DC
Treasurer, CBP® Nonprofit, Inc.
Dr. Sang Harrison attended the University of Delaware and Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta, graduating in 1983. She interned with Dr. Don Harrison in Sunnyvale, California in 1983 and practiced in Fremont, California from 1984 to 1986, when she and Don were married and moved to Wyoming. She has been the financial officer for CBP®, Nonprofit since 1986. She has drawn all the skeletal drawings in the CBP® Technique textbooks. She is the co-author of 10 published, accepted, or in review research papers in the Index Medicus.

As the year 2004 draws to an end, we are edging closer to 90 publications in the Index Medicus. Of course our first goal years ago was 10 publications, but now we see the reality for more than 100! This has all been made possible by the DCs, who have generously donated to CBP Nonprofit. We thank you for your continuing support of our research efforts.
As I try to do each year, I have listed our donators and their amounts in order that our bookkeeping is above board.
We have our fall fund drive in progress. We need to raise $50,000 more to complete our neurological and biomechanical studies on live sheep spines in Australia with collaborators Robert Gunzburg, MD, PhD, Rob Moore, DVM, PhD, Tony Keller, PhD, Chris Colloca, BS, DC, and Deed Harrison, DC.
Please send in your 2004 dues to CBP Nonprofit by December 1, 2004. Thank you.
