There is a bigger purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cal Jam is about the revolution<\/strong>\u2026one that must happen and is, in fact, happening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is an assault on our health:<\/strong> our bodies, our environment, and perhaps our minds and even our souls. Are we to submit to the dictates of corporate pharmaceutical medicine, be fed from factory farms and frankencows, beholding to monopolies that own franken-seeds and food &#8211; and perhaps soon our water?\u00a0 Is our health owned and controlled by the corporate state?<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is a small but growing band<\/strong> of independent minded health oriented and highly educated people that are becoming radicalized around the threat of a totalitarian state held in place through our food and water supply, and \u201chealth\u201d care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is this extreme?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perhaps, but there are many more MDs, scientists,<\/strong> and very educated mothers who believe this to be the case and are taking action than are reported in the corporate owned media. Just to look at the soaring statistics of organic food consumption over the last ten years &#8211; this must indicate something about a concern over the toxins in our food supply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This goes beyond politics and race<\/strong>. These are just soap operas designed to keep us bickering amongst ourselves as the real maneuvers take place.<\/p>\n<p><strong> For those of you in the health profession,<\/strong> the choice is yours to make: play along\u2026 or do not go quietly into this smack zoned pen we are being herded into. One holistic MD I talked to recently told me that most MDs were lemmings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I chose and have stayed in this profession<\/strong>, not because I am a chiropractor, because I am not. I consider myself, at my best, someone who has helped the helpers provide true health. But I have done so in part as an act of defiance against those who would profit on the bad health of others.\u00a0 I have my personal story, as do you. But on my better days I am in the fight along with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiropractors have always been revolutionaries.<\/strong> Reggie Gold, Jim Sigafoose, Sid Williams, Chester Wilk&#8230; the list goes on and on, to B.J and D.D. Palmer. Used to be you weren&#8217;t an experienced D.C. until you spent your time in jail for &#8220;practicing without a license.&#8221; It actually goes down the ages\u2026 the fight against tyranny.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cal Jam is not necessarily better than other chiropractic health conferences<\/strong>, but I\u2019d say that it is the most revolutionary\u2026 and fun.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you there.<\/p>\n<p>Ed<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/californiajam.org\/\">Link to CAL JAM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Spring Equinox, Northern Hemisphere \u2013 2015) Cal Jam is not like your father\u2019s seminar.
