It is with a heavy heart that I must report that my friend, colleague, and former partner, Dr Arnold Roper, passed away this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with his family Wendy, Jeannie and his three children. I first met Arnold or Arnie as he was called back in 1979 during my internship at a Satellite Clinic at Parliament and Gerrard. He had been in practice for 9 years and came to share with the senior interns what is was like in the trenches so to speak. After that meeting we met on numerous occasions at Parker Chiropractic Research…

The time comes in every person’s life when inner reflection and self assessment can lead to some less than flattering conclusions.

First off I would like to wish our cousins to the south the very best of Thanksgiving’s. As we all know tomorrow is Turkey Day across the United States which marks the unofficial kick off to the Holiday Season here in North America. Before we know it the craziness will be in full swing as malls turn into war-zones, spending reaches ridiculous altitudes and family and friends gather to spread joy and elation.

This past weekend I traveled to sunny Orlando to take place in another Kennedy Decompression Technique seminar. It felt great refreshing my Decompression knowledge and talking to other professionals from across North America regarding this exciting and effective technology.

A common misconception regarding Spinal Decompression Units is that they act as a magic machine, one in which little diagnosis, monitoring and parameters are set by the operator. NOT THE CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is in fact quite untrue as without…
