• Firm Foundation Coaching - Religious zealots merge with chiropractic and help you make millions, too. These folks from California quote verse after verse of the Christian New Testament to assure that their flock doesn't stray. "My ex takes my son weekly to "Dr. Todd" (Dr. Todd Royse). My son has never had any back problems, but his Mom goes, so now he does too. With this practice EVERYONE is broken before they even walk through the door - babies too. He sees close to 200 patients a day and gives seminars to promote and sell his books and CDs that encourage and guide others to start up their own chiro businesses using his doctrine..."

• Patient retention scripts - This article by Stephen Barrett is about Ron Halstead, once the king of chiro promoters who was eventually convicted of one count of conspiracy, 14 counts of health care fraud, and 11 counts of money laundering in a massive case in West Virginia.

• Turn your chiropractic practice into a Porche - Eric Plasker Build The Practice of Your Dreams and Be a Part of the LCFE Movement - Chiropractors around the world are uniting around a vision of Lifetime Care for Everyone (LCFE) and are embracing the "family practice" consciousness. The Family Practice ™ is leading this LCFE movement and helping the chiropractic profession transform itself from pain-based centers for relief of symptoms to chiropractic offices dedicated to family wellness and preventative health care.

• The Waiting List Practice - Dr. CJ Mertz runs the show. He says he's the "#1 Performance Coaching System in the World". He helped over 1,000 at one show in Chicago double their income through philosophy. I sure hope that the good folks from OHIP and other insurers attend his show in Toronto on May 18-20. Only they can prevent insurance fraud and scams. This country can't afford more chiropractic scams.

  He'll sell you a 12 minute audio cassettes on the powerful benefits of Chiropractic Care and Optimal Health. You pay just $75 U.S. for 100 tapes and give them out at the shopping mall, or in the subway to tired pedestrians, or stuff them in the hands of beggars at the entrance to the theatre district in Toronto. They look like they need both care and optimal health. But, I don't think that those demographics were in mind when he came up with this stuff. If Ontario residents want a chiropractor who has an affiliation with these guys, try searching for one.

  David Singer Enterprise (Dr. David Singer), WISE 1997 list, $250,000 donation to the IAS), a "consultant" to recruit medical practitioners into scientology. It is not surprising that of 5 "success stories", at least 4 can be shown to be scientologists (Dr. Andrea Ruhland (WISE 1997 list), Dr. Mary Huss, Dr. Dale Cooper, Dr. Glenda Rose (WISE 1997 list))

• MANAGING TO RECRUIT: RELIGIOUS CONVERSION IN THE WORK PLACE Officials for one practice management companies (PMC) , for example, acknowledge that about 20 percent of the chiropractors who sign up for management consulting also wind up in Scientology courses (Koff 1987). In fact, a number of WISE publications, including the 1989 Western United States Business Directory, refer to one of the PMCs as being Scientology's most effective recruiting organization (Ochart 1993b: 249, exhibit 5; Wilson 1993: 99, exhibit 2; WISE 1989).

Chiropractors that promote more than chiropractic

• Front Sight Firearms Training Institute (Dr. Ignatius Piazza, WISE 1997 list - as chiropractic, but the FAX is the same). Beware if Dr. Pizza applies the scientology code of honour: Never fear to hurt another for a just cause. Based in Aptos, CA
  

• Gillette Chiropractic (Bill Gillette / William L. Gillette, $40,000 donation to the IAS, WISE 1991 list) based in Whittier, CA
  
  
• Sterling Management, alias Emery Wilson Corp. (WISE 1997 list), a front which tries to lure dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists and veterinarians into Scientology, even holding them against their will, as shown by the experience of Dee Rowe and Glover Rowe. Founder is Greg Hughes, current (April 1999) Chairman of the Board and CEO is Kevin C. Wilson. They have lots of scieno-speak, but do not mention Hubbard or Scientology. The internic entry showed Scientologist Randy Baxter as administrative contact until 1998, who is represented often on this page. Their professional advice is possibly useless. Read a more recent account by a woman who lost $34,000 in 1996.
  
  
• James M. Keppler (WISE 1997 list), a chiropractic also involved with the drug-free marshalls front
  
• Harry K. Wong ($40,000 donation to the IAS, WISE 1993 list), Chiropractic "Doctor". Harry Wong made a "revenge-picket" at the place of the girlfriend of "Don NOTs", who is the attorney of Keith Henson. Before getting "manipulated", read the NCAHF Position Paper on Chiropractic and An Inside View of a Chiropractic Office (this may or may not be Mr. Wong's office).
  When his daughter Astara was just 16 she already was a "humanitarian" on her web page. Her most recommended web sites are of course Scientology, Scientology, and Scientology. Based in Redwood City, CA
