Hi Dr. Chestnut. I just wanted to say thank you for a great seminar series here in Australia. It has changed my life and my family s life as we have been implementing the different modules. The Wellness classes at my clinic are also very well attended and liked. I have been to many seminars in my nearly 20 years of practice but none have had such a vast impact on so many, including myself. I hope you are successful in spreading this message to a much larger audience so the rest of humanity can come on board. I will be doing my part to spread this message in my part of the world and I look forward to completing the certification process. Once again, thank you,
-- Dr. Michael Haworth

"Thank you for the most inspiring weekend. I have been in practice for 11 years now and have yet to attend a seminar that combines philosophy and science as effectively as you have.
Imagine being able to put this stuff to work on Monday! You are doing great and important work, thank you again."
--- Dr. Thor Gilbertson

"In my nearly twelve years in practice this is the only seminar I've experienced that has presented hard science to substantiate the "Big Picture" of Chiropractic. This concise, inexpensive seminar has done more for grounding my chiropractic philosophy than any "philosophy" seminar I've ever been to. It provided all who attended the peer reviewed scientific research necessary to truly appreciate the scope of what chiropractic can and should be. I feel so strongly about the value of this information that I am compelled to write this open letter. I urge you to consider making this seminar available throughout the province so our colleagues can benefit as I have. In fact, make it compulsory!"
--- Dr. Michael Lax

"Dear James
I finished reading your book- fantastic! It has added a whole new dimension to my understanding of the power of chiropractic. Interestingly I had a new client referred to me who is a very unsettled 8 week old. Her mother was very concerned about the safety of an adjustment - not because of potential soft tissue damage, but because of fear of it creating aberrant proprioceptive and mechanoreceptive input to her cerebellum. It turns out that she is a pediatric neuropsychologist and is researching the role of the cerebellum in learning disorders. Using your model I was able to allay her fears but also open her mind to the possibilities of chiropractic helping the kids she will see when she returns to work!!
I really appreciate all that you have done in bringing your insight to chiropractic generally and chiropractic in Australia in particular."
Thanks

"Dr. Chestnut,
I just wanted to thank you again for taking time away from your family to share with us this weekend your incredibly valuable knowledge. You say that we are the heroes but what do you call the person who gives certainty and inspires the heroes? In B.J.'s last written words he talks about how we must protect Chiropractic and keep this principle and practice unadulterated and unmixed. Listening to you this weekend has done that -- more than any speaker I have listened to in the last nine years.
Thank you for your dedication and your persistence!"

"Dear James,
My chiropractor in Toronto loaned me his copy of The 14 Foundational Premises^® that he received from a recent seminar of yours in Ottawa.
The story goes like this: I had stopped chiropractic cold turkey a month ago after reading Stephen Barrett's website. A major factor in my decision was that my chiropractor was unable to answer any of my questions. For example, I wanted to know his justification for three times a week adjustments, especially if it was three days in a row. His only answer was to point at a colourful chart on the wall showing the stages of recovery.
He loaned me your notes, and those notes convinced me to return to chiropractic, though I can't help shake the feeling that my chiropractor is too much of a salesman and not a professional healer. His science books are all old. I personally believe that any professional MUST keep up-to-date on the technical aspects of the field they practice. Medical doctors do it, lawyers do it, engineers do it, software professionals do it, so why is it hard for me to find a chiropractor who does it? Obviously you do this very well. Perhaps you can recommend a chiropractor in Toronto who actually tailors treatments to specific patients."
Sincerely,
--- David

"You have an ability in science that is very rare and that this profession truly needs. Your passion and knowledge together make you a unique gift to chiropractic. What you present truly has the potential to finally unite us."

Dr. Chestnut,

I can’t thank you enough for the time, and effort you invested to compile, digest, integrate and now disseminate this information. Fifteen years of practice, and two diplomate programs later, I've finally found what  chiropractic is supposed to be about. Your work and vision for the profession are seminal – I can hardly wait to see how the rest of the CCWP program dovetails with this foundation.

With Graditude,
Joe Muldoon

I did a wellness presentation this morning with a rather large company.  The information that I've learned throughout my wellness certification allowed me to speak confidently, ask the right questions and communicate the problems we face as a society and a course of action that focused on wellness as the solution.  I would never have been able to do any of the above without pursuing this certification.  My education that I've received and the impact it's made on my beliefs will be priceless in the years to come as I'm able to walk through industry's doors with the life saving message of wellness.

Thank you Dr. Chestnut.

Dr. Chestnut:
I have learned so much since starting your course.  Since then, I have had the opportunity to present chiropractic to a University of Toronto pre-med course run by an Internist and a Public Health PhD.  They were thoroughly impressed… one of the students is even pursuing acceptance to a chiropractic college.  Awesome. I even fielded a friendly, but pointed, question from the internist as to why one can’t just see a massage therapist and/or a physiotherapist instead of a chiropractor. I handled that question to his liking and he approached me after to discuss it and tell me of his future ideas of an “Integrated” clinic and he would keep me in mind! THANK YOU for helping me discover the answers and build the strength to have done what I did.
Dr. Adam Bletsoe

Thank you.  Finished module 4 this past weekend in Chicago.  Just finishing up the last few questions.  What a wonderful gift you and and your program is to the chiropractic profession .  I look forward to hearing you at Parker in Vegas.  I imagine someone will be contacting me about a final or whatever, and I have hopes of some ongoing type of relationship/ friendship with  The Wellness Practice.

I'm in the process of changing my clinic name from The Back and Neck Pain Relief Center to Back & Body Wellness.  Thanks for the life changing experience.  I'll hope to make you proud.

Be Well.
Marshall Jacobs BS DC FASA and soon to be CCWP.

James,

I have been running basic and advanced wellness workshops in our clinic for the past 2 months. These follow your presentations and are currently booked out until October!!! I have to borrow seats from our church each week as our clinic does not have enough. I am really seeing people catch the vision of wellness and begin to change their lifestyle. Thank you for your vision, guidance and inspiration.

Thanks again – Jon
