INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS

Inspirational Books enable us to see through the myth that better health can only be achieved by doing unpalatable chores, and quitting all the things that we enjoy!

Nothing could be further from the truth. Fruit is delicious and now that science has abundantly proved that the old adage about the eating an apple a day. APPLE DIET ... is deeply founded in proven fact, a day, same as going for a walk or an occasional consultation with our chiropractor are neither burdensome, nor need be painful and will add years to our lives. Quality years. Years when we will have time for hobbies: GLIDING ... and travel, and to enjoy our grandchildren.

"A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them."

- Horace Mann, 1796 - 1859

It's a tragedy to be needlessly robbed of those years, simply because we didn't know that a tomato a day would save us from prostate cancer, for example. Knowledge is power, and that we get from INSPIRING BOOKS!

But mostly better health is about the simple things. These delightful books help us to focus on better health, giving nudges in the right direction, without putting us under guilt and stress.

In this site you will find many stirring authors, both chiropractors and others who, through their writing, have added quality years to our lives and, perhaps more important, more life to those years.

JOURNEY OF SCOTT HALDEMAN

by Reed Phillips


“Scott Haldeman has done more to break down barriers and create opportunities for the chiropractic profession than any other person in the last score of years in the 20th century.”




Scott Haldeman, DC, PhD, MD.

Grandmother, Dr Almeida Haldeman DC was the first chiropractor to practise in Canada, in Saskatchewan to be precise, in 1905.

Dr Almeida's son, Dr Joshua Haldeman DC, graduated from Palmer College in 1926. Young Scott was born in Saskatchewan in 1943.

The Haldeman family, with Scott only 7 years old, emigrated to South Africa in 1950. Father Joshua became the president of the South African Chiropractic Association.

Dr Scott Haldeman DC graduated from Palmer College in 1964...

"Those who meet Scott Haldeman today see a much-honoured, prosperous neurologist from Southern California in his mid-60's. Few understand his humble origins, the battles fought, the challenges and disappointments overcome, and the magnitude of his vision and achievements."

The Chiropractic Report.

Journey of Scott Haldeman ... a remarkable man, a stunning book.

2. The ancient Greeks got it right, arousing the desire to be more fully the noble men and women that we were created to be! Less pain and better function of our bodies, clearer minds, and don't forget the spirit. Without a healthy spirit, the best of bodies and noblest of minds have still been miserable.
