The CCCLA faculty members are: Dr. Gyan Khare, department head of Basic Sciences; Dr. Lucila Calimag, department head of Diagnostic Sciences; and Dr. Robert Pokras, assistant professor. Their paper, "Nutritional and Anti-Microbial Properties of a Specific Herbal Tonic: Chyawanprash," was one of 18 chiropractic-related papers presented at the conference. Chyawanprash is a food supplement used in India that is proven to kill bacteria and contains high amounts of vitamin C. Additional research is being conducted to determine if the herb also decreases blood cholesterol.
Many leading public health officials, including Dr. Louis Sullivan, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, were among the approximately 10,000 attendees.
Cleveland Officials Teach Seminar in Japan
Dr. Carl S. Cleveland Jr., president of CCCLA, and CCCLA associate professor Dr. George LeBeau recently taught a week-long seminar on sports injuries and chiropractic philosophy in Japan. The two doctors taught the seminar to Japanese chiropractic students and doctors from October 21-28 at the International Chiropractic College (ICC) in Osaka. Dr. Cleveland spoke on chiropractic philosophy and science, while Dr. LeBeau instructed on sports injuries, extremity adjusting, and athletic taping.
The idea to teach a seminar in Japan arose when Dr. LeBeau visited with a delegation of Japanese students who enrolled at CCCLA to take courses in human dissection. Only medical students are permitted to take human dissection courses in Japan, which is why the chiropractic students come to America to take the courses.
