Thoughts, Traumas and Toxins - A Chiropractic Paradigm
Dr. Todd G. Singleton
Course Purpose: I've compiled the information contained in this seminar to better educate the chiropractic community about the relevance of D.D. Palmer's three "T's" - thoughts, traumas, and toxins in contemporary chiropractic clinics. A better understanding of these three issues will help chiropractors improve patient outcomes, reduce pain more efficiently, and facilitate healthy changes that last a lifetime.
Course Description: This seminar will begin with an overview of different types of trauma and holistic healing techniques. It will then introduce three sources of exposure to toxins (ingestion, absorption, and inhalation) and discuss herbs that can be used to facilitate detoxification. Finally, the course will explore ways that thoughts and feelings (stress, for example) can help or hinder the bodys natural healing process.
Intended Audience: This seminar has been created specifically for Doctors of Chiropractic.

Cruise Line cancellation policies are strictly enforced. For that reason, we urge all of our travelers to carefully consider whether travel insurance is a good value for them.
Certainly, if you have reason to think that "something might come up" that might force you to cancel, travel insurance is worth the cost of the premium. Examples we've seen in the past include ill or frail family members and changes in employment causing relocation.
If travel insurance is the right choice for you, we recommend TravelSafe. To visit their site and explore your options click here or on the link above. The cruise lines also offer travel insurance and we'd be happy to help you go that route if you'd prefer.
