Aphorisms are short, precise statements dealing with a particular truth. In other words, the laws of healing. In homeopathy, there are about 300 of these laws.
Aphorisms allow the practitioner to know the status of the patient under any given circumstance.
Without mastery of the aphorisms, it is possible to heal only by accident. Unfortunately, chiropractic has very few clearly defined laws of healing, and none of our chiropractic colleges, to my knowledge, teach them. Lacking this critical knowledge, we have fabricated a smoke screen of the straights and mixers issue to cover our ignorance. We, as chiropractors, are conditioned to have patients receive unnecessarily high numbers of prescheduled adjustments. We withdraw from the total dynamic scope of chiropractic physicians into the severely limited scope of sore back technicians.
