Bestselling Fitness Author Praises Chiropractic
Joyce Vedral, PhD, bestselling author of The Fat Burning Workout, praises chiropractic care in her recently published book Bottoms Up!, which has been on the New York Times bestseller list for over three weeks. A long-time patient of Jack Barnathan, DC, chairman of ICA's Council on Fitness and Sports Health Science, Dr. Vedral incorporated chiropractic into her latest book because she found relief herself through chiropractic care. "I realized that I was taking chiropractic care for granted because it's so natural to me and I have incorporated it into my life," said Dr. Vedral. "But then I realized that this isn't good, I have to share this with people."
DCs Plan Charitable Pilot Project in Singapore
Dr. Warwick Shillito and Dr. S.Y. Ng, of the Humana Chiropractic Centre in Singapore are planning a pilot project offering charitable chiropractic care to those who have not had it or cannot afford it. To begin the project, they are interested in hearing from experienced DCs and student interns willing to spend at least six months in Singapore. Since the project is charity-based, volunteer DCs would receive a minimum stipend and would be provided with basic accommodation and a return airfare, but would not be salaried. Applicants who are chosen would work in the main clinic for a short period to become acquainted with Singapore, before moving on the one of the charitable clinics, where they would work in groups. Part of the requirements would be giving educational talks on chiropractic.
For those who are interested, please send a resume, along with an academic record, a current photo, and a brief summary of personal goals and reasons for interest in this project. Language skills, particularly in Chinese, would be a big advantage. The estimated time for the project to begin is September 1994, but because this is an ongoing project, the applicant should include the time period he/she is available. To apply write to Dr. S.Y. Ng or Dr. W.S. Shillito, Humana Chiropractic Centre, #05-37 Singapore Medical Centre, 19 Tanglin Road, Singapore 1024. Tel: 011 (65) 7389008, or Fax: 011 (65) 7388949.
