Simon, good as usual.
When I read Lerner, I thought the whole tone was anti Palmer, and bordering anti chiropractic. Didn’t he imply that BJ was in a hypnotic state his whole life.
Who are the proponents of the pro-Langworthy history? Non Palmer Grads, medical historians?
I think if you discredit DD and BJ you discredit all of the profession and therefore make it look like a historical quirk among many healthcare movements. Mesmerism, the Kellog brothers, etc.
Didn’t the Lerner report have all the pages re Dave Palmer missing by the way – not that this is relevant to ur paper. If so where can I get a complete Lerner report, I would like to re-read it.
Remember, If u can marginalize their leader, then u can marginalize their movement. Recent years have seen scholarly works saying Jesus, had a brother, was married etc. In Politics, the founding fathers, Columbus, all are being redefined, by those who have some skin in the game.
Keep at it, usually to combat a negative, u have to put out 10 positives. 10 papers? good luck
RHK DC
Go BJ and DD!

Thank you Simon for an outstanding post! It is important to root out historical incongruencies especially when popular thought of today is based on them.
