Life Changer


How many people have you met that you know changed your life? One of those people in my life is Dr. Reggie Gold. My first encounter with Reggie was as a 19 year old Palmer College freshman in the dorm theater. I literally stumbled into his impassioned presentation on "real chiropractic" one night quite by accident. He was speaking to a small number of students and over the 90 minutes he taught, I moved forward in the audience 2 or 3 times until I was sitting in the 5 row. When he asked if he should go on I was the fist to yell "Yes!"

What I heard about Innate and Universal Intelligence filled in each and every blank spot in my chiropractic philosophy so perfectly I was changed from that night forward. From there I got involved in other "radical" and "principled" students and started attending Sid William's DE Meetings with other students like Guy Riekeman and Gerry Clum. From that night my brain was on fire and Reggie struck the match. 

Exactly 40 years later, I had the distinct pleasure of hosting Reggie at a Five Star in Pittsburgh where I introduced him the an adoring crowd. When he finished we gave this 83 year old warrior for chiropractic a standing ovation.  Thank you, Reggie.
