MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER
Permit me to introduce myself, I am Count Floyd, your congenial host of MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER. Tonight's very scary feature is The TINGLER starring Vincent Price, Bea Arthur, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Antonio Fargas. Let me now introduce the cast of characters.
Doctor Bradley Hartley, DC....Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University. He sustained a "life changing" football injury in high school and decided to pursue Chiropractic to realize his passion to "help people to achieve optimal health and vitality." While at Life he was active in Motion Palpation Club and Chiropractic Leadership Alliance. In his spare time he enjoys jogging, weight lifting, and attending seminars on new chiropractic and wellness techniques.
Doctor Wendy Jones-Hartley, DC....Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University. She sustained a "life changing" volleyball injury in high school and decided to pursue chiropractic to realize her passion to "help people to achieve optimal health and vitality." She met her future husband in Motion Palpation Club. In her spare time she enjoys jogging, yoga, and attending seminars on new chiropractic and wellness techniques.
Doctor Palmer Logan, DC.....flunked out of Sherman during the second trimester but then attended Life University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He sustained a "life changing" tap dancing injury in high school and decided to pursue chiropractic to realize his passion to "help people achieve optimal health and vitality." In his spare time he enjoys dancing, smoking, and attending seminars on new chiropractic and wellness techniques.
Huggy Bear, a street-wise informant and local tavern owner who is always available to "help people to achieve optimal health and vitality."
The scene is a back room in the Hartley New Life Chiropractic and Wellness Center.
"Wendy, the competition is killing us! There's a Chiropractic Clinic on every corner. Where do these guys all come from? Sherman, National, Logan......and those Palmer guys....think they're so smart. We need some kind of technique to draw people in.....something new....with a fancy scientific-sounding name. How's this?..... 'The Hartley Caudal-Lumbar Maneuver.' Maybe we can figure out some weird diagnostic gizmo to go along with it.....something like detecting ionic flow. "
"Doctor Logan, go to the morgue and steal me a fresh body.....I want to figure out this new technique on a fresh spine."

MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER
Count Floyd here......hope you enjoyed last night's episode of The TINGLER.
And now here's tonight's episode.
"Doctor Logan, to the morgue quickly I tell you, I need a fresh spine to perfect my new spinal adjustment!"
"My good men, I am Doctor Palmer Logan from the Hartley New Life Chiropractic and Wellness Center 'Where Our Caring Doctors Always Treat You Like Family sm.' I'm looking for Igor....is he here?"
"Yes Doctor, how may I serve you today?" Does 'Technique Club' need more spines?
"Always joking around, eh Igor? No, not today. But Doctor Hartley needs a fresh one to perfect a new chiropractic technique which he just made up this morning. Preferably the spine should be from a scientifically illiterate male who had asthma, otitis media, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ADHD."
"You're in luck, Doctor Logan, a guy like that came in today.....apparently never had his childhood immunizations.....died of German Measles."
"I'll have my assistant Fritz load the spine into your car."
Doctor Logan drives back to the Clinic and upon entering is confronted by Doctor Hartley.
"So Logan, do you have my fresh spine?"
"Yes, Doctor, and you will be very pleased.....it is fresh and from a man who never benefited from Chiropractic care or lifestyle counseling!"
"Yes, you have done well......now prepare my laboratory while I put on my blue lab coat and my stethoscope."
"Doctor Hartley...I never asked this before.....you're a Chiropractor...what's the stethoscope for?"
"Ah, it's for...ah.....to the laboratory NOW."
"Ah, yes, Logan...an excellent spine for my experiments. Now watch The Master while he initiates a skillful adjustment."
"Ah!....it's a success....the Hartley Caudal-Lumbar Maneuver!.......I'll be rich!........But I will keep this technique to myself! Wait!.....What's this !?!"
"Oh my God! What is it?!"
"It's coming at me......but I'm not accountable!!....I'm a Chiropractor!"

Monster Chiller Horror Theater
A-woooooooooooooooo
Count Floyd here again welcoming you to another scarey episode of Monster Chiller Horror Theater.
In our last episode, Doctor Bradley Hartley, Doctor of Chiropractic and Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University was attacked by The Tingler when he performed a new chiropractic adjustment technique on the fresh spine of a scientifically illiterate middle-aged male..
Having successfully fought off The Tingler and containing it in a cage, Doctor Hartley confers with local informant Huggy Bear about local competition.
"Where are all these new Chiropractors coming from anyway? Palmer's got how many schools now? Two? Three? My collections are way down.....insurance companies are killing me....rent is going up.....sales of nutritional supplements have dropped.....student loans are coming due. So what's the word on the street?"
"The Boys tell me that there are two new cum laude Cleveland * graduates....you know, the usual husband and wife team...met in Motion Palpation club. They say that both are active in their local church and both frequently attend Chiropractic Seminars to learn the latest 'Wellness Techniques' to better serve their patients. Her website says that she belongs to the International Chiropractic Pediatric Society, so that means she paid her $200."
( * "Where you put health and healing in your own two hands" sm)
Doctor Hartley is not amused. "What will they be doing?"
"Well, he, of course, will specialize in sports injuries, and she will specialize in children and pregnancy. Oh, and forgot to say that they have two lovely children....McKenzie and Chase."
"Did they sustain Life Altering injuries while in High School?"
"Yes, he injured his back playing football and she injured her neck while on the Varsity Volleyball team. Both sought treatment by Chiropractors after Allopathic Physicians would only treat them with NSAIDs and dangerous narcotic analgesics." Their new office is about a mile away."
"Set me up to meet them...tell them I want to teach them a new money making 'technique'."
Doctor Hartley drives into the parking lot of the We Care A Whole Lot More Chiropractic and Wellness Center. After entering the waiting room, the receptionist leads him into the Doctors' office.
Suddenly, the Doctors enter the room and exchange cordial greetings with Doctor Hartley.
"Doctor"
"Doctor"
"Doctor"
"Doctor"
They soon engage in small talk about how paradoxical it is that Cleveland Chiropractic College is located in Kansas City and that the Greater Cincinnati Airport is located in Kentucky.
After putting the Doctors at ease with his gentle and caring manner, Doctor Hartley brings up the subject of his new adjustment "technique."
"Nice operation you have here, Doctors. You're a fine couple and I wish to teach you a technique that is sure to make you money......just like in the '80's. But before I do, here's a little therapeutic device you might want to try on each other....The Pro Neck Traction Device tm"
Doctor Hartley next demonstates the Hartley Caudal-Lumbar Maneuver on an unsuspecting patient who had just come in for his twice-weekly "Wellness Adjustment."
"Nooooooooooooooo....."
"What is it?.....It's coming at us !!!!!!!!!"
"Ahaaaaaaaaaa........"

Welcome again....Count Floyd here along with my friends......
...........Doctor Tongue and his Chiropractic Assistant Woody Tobias.
In our last episode, Doctor Bradley Hartley, magna cum laude graduate of Life University met with unsuspecting husband and wife cum laude Cleveland graduates. After gaining their trust through his gentle and caring manner, he unleashed The Tingler by initiating a chiropractic adjustment that he had only recently perfected.
Now with two competing Chiropractors eliminated, he confers with his Associate Doctor Palmer Logan.
"So, Logan, how can anyone now deny my genius. So what if I never learned differential diagnosis at Life, I have now discovered spinal pathology that puts me up into the ranks of all the Chiropractic greats......D.D., B.J., Blair, Gonstead, Webster, Toftness. Now who do we eliminate next?"
"How about those three cum laude Sherman 'Chiropractic Internists' over in the Wal-Mart Plaza?"
"Yes, Logan, great idea. What ever happed to that discrimination lawsuit brought against Sherman?"
"Yes, seems that several gay and lesbian applicants are demanding that Sherman eliminate the word 'Straight' from their name as it discriminates against students with 'alternative lifestyles' who wish to practice alternative health care."
"Set up a meeting with those three so I may teach them my 'technique'."
"Doctor Hartley, show me again how to perform the Hartley Caudal-Lumbar maneuver."
"Very well, Logan, I shall demonstrate on Mr. Bill."
"Nooooooooooo........!"
Later at the Healing Hands Chiropractic and Wellness Center in the Wal-Mart Plaza.......
Doctor Hartley greets the Doctors in his characteristic gentle and caring manner.
"Greetings Sherman Doctors, may I introduce myself."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa......Aaaaaaaaaa!"
Meanwhile, back at the Hartley Chiropractic and Wellness Center.................
"So Logan, who do we eliminate next?"
"How about these guys?"

Permit me to introduce myself, I am Doctor Tongue and I will be your guest host tonight. Count Floyd and my Chiropractic Assistant Woody Tobias are attending a Pediatric Chiropractic Seminar at the Toronto Novotel Airport Hotel.
In our previous episode, Dr. Bradley Hartley, Doctor of Chiropractic and Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University, introduced his newly perfected adjustment technique...the Hartley Caudal-Lumbar maneuver....to several competing chiropractors, leading to their immediate demise at the hands of The Tingler (a previously unknown spinal anomaly)
As this episode opens, Doctor Hartley confers with his Associate Doctor, Palmer Logan.
"So Logan, we have now eliminated hundreds of chiropractors in the surrounding two square mile area, but I tire of putting on a gentle and caring manner. What can we do next to improve cash flow?"
"I suggest that we update your Website, but not with the usual canned versions with the pictures of a young family laughing and running through a flower-filled meadow and enjoying a 'Chiropractic Lifestyle.' No links to anti-vaccination Websites...no revolving spines. Something we create ourselves that no one else has."
"Logan, let's get started now. My knowledge of spinal anatomy and physiology is surpassed only by my knowledge of False Advertising Laws!"
"Logan, let's begin the new website like this.......'Doctor Bradley Hartley, DC, Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic'."
"Ah, but Doctor Hartley, aren't all licensed Chiropractors technically 'certified' by the NBCE?...you have to pass all four parts of the exam to get licensed. It's sort of silly to say you are Board Certified as though it is a special qualification. Medical doctors have to pass NBME to get licensed but they don't say they are Board Certified until they finish a residency or fellowship and then pass written and oral exams in their specialty."
"Logan, stop being insolent and bringing up technicalities or else I will send you back to where I found you....doing spinal screenings at the County Fair."
"Next I want to list all of the conditions that I treat....perhaps I will start by saying.........'I don't claim to cure asthma, but my patients do get better under my care.'"
"Ha, ha...that's called Fraudulent Inducement!"
"Enough! Enough I say! Then it shall be written like this....
Below are conditions where chiropractic has been shown to be effective.......
"Notice Logan, this says nothing about 'cure'....says nothing about what percentage are cured...maybe only one was cured....and it does not say directly that I treat these conditions."
"Now Logan, look at this.....
Patients who come to us have some of the following conditions.......
High Blood Pressure Impotence Asthma Otitis Media Learning Disorders
"You see, just because these people come to the office does not necessarily mean that I treat them...get it, Logan?

Monster Chiller Horror Theater
Count Floyd here again back from a Pediatric Chiropractic conference at the Toronto Airport Novatel. Today's episode of THE TINGLER is guaranteed to be scary!
In our last episodes, Doctor Bradley Hartley, portal of entry Chiropractic Physician and Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University, eliminated thousands of competing Chiropractors and Federal Trade Commission interference by unleasing THE TINGLER
Still frustrated by poor cash flow, Doctor Hartley met with his half-brother, Doctor Phibes, to ask his advice about practice management..
###################################
Doctor William Phibes, or "Doctor Skip" as he is affectionately called by his patients, is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. He and his wife Melinda settled in his hometown of Bettendorf, Iowa in 1996 after completing four years of rigorous chiropractic studies. He opened up The Phibes Healing Hands Chiropractic and Wellness Center and has been providing health care for the Quad Cities ever since. Before graduating from Palmer, he attended Western Iowa Tech Community College and Morningside College, both in Sioux City.
After sustaining a serious back injury while playing varsity football in High School, Doctor Skip sought the care of a local Chiropractor after dangerous narcotic analgesics and muscle relaxants failed to provide relief. Within a week of chiropractic treatment he was back to playing football!
To better serve his practice partners, Doctor Phibes has attended over 100 hours of post-graduate seminars and utilizes multiple techniques when necessary including Activator, SOT, Gonstead, and Blair. He was recently certified in Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. He abandoned "Hole In One" adjustments several years ago as he felt that there was no scientific evidence to justify its use.
While in undergraduate school Doctor Phibes fell in love with learning about the body and was amazed by the intelligence that coordinated all living things. His chiropractic education nourished his passion for learning about health and wellness.
The philosophy of natural health gave him the vision and dream to see the world become healthier with chiropractic, and he persues that dream every day.
The Doctor and his wife, a wellness counselor, have been married for 18 years and they have two children, Emily and Kyle who have never been vaccinated and who have never taken antibiotics.
When not serving his practice partners, Doctor Phibes enjoys jogging, gardening, coaching Peewee soccer, and spending time with his family.
Doctor Phibes is an active member of the Bettendorf Chamber of Commerce. He and his family regularly attend the Bettendorf First Methodist Church.
########################################
"Bill, times are bad. Collections are way down, mostly insurance denials. With this recession, no one wants to sign up for year-long wellness contracts. On top of that I keep on getting these solicitation letters from Life asking for alumni donations. And don't even get me started on what 'Health Care Reform' will do to our business."
"Brad, same with my practice. People came in with back pain, got a couple of adjustments, and never came back for 'maintenance adjustments'. But when I started getting into high blood pressure, bed-wetting, and ADHD things got better real fast.
The key to my success has been INNATE.
"Bill, you went to The Fountainhead and learned a lot more about 'Innate' then I did....at Life I mostly studied old exams.
Tell me what I missed."
"Okay, Brad, let me explain.......
The term "Innate Intelligence" (sometimes abbreviated "II") is still used by certain chiropractors. At Palmer College of Chiropractic the definition of Chiropractic states, "Chiropractic philosophy begins with the principle that the human organism has an innate power to maintain its own health" and includes "This unique health care approach views the body as having an innate, natural ability to adapt to changes in its internal and external environments and maintain itself in a state of health.]^ PCC Admissions: "What Is Chiropractic" Palmer College of Chiropractic (PCC)
Similarly at Life University, they have "embraced the idea that humans are spiritual beings whose lives are directed by universal laws including the natural, vitalistic, innate ability to develop, heal and adapt as long as the body is kept free of interferences." # ^ Life University - Strategic Plan: Our Vision for Life University
"So Bill, what are you saying?"
"Brad, I have discovered The Key To Chiropractic Success!"
"Look at this picture and tell me what it says."
"And this......"
"And this one......"

Count Floyd here again with another scary episode of MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER.
In our last episode, Doctor Hartley and his half-brother Doctor Phibes, both Magna Cum Laude graduates of their respective chiropractic schools, met to discuss the effects of President Obama's health care plan on their chiropractic practices.
"Bill, I don't care what you say....Obama's health care plan will destroy chiropractic. Evidence-based practice....MD's as Gate-Keepers...we're done for!"
Doctor Phibes whispers to his "Chiropractic Assistant" Tina...."These Life graduates ........can't see beyond the next 'spinal screening'."
"Bradley, if you just calm down for a moment I'll explain to you how chiropractic will become more profitable than ever....and the Government, Big Pharma, and Organized Medicine will be the reason."
You must look at history to understand why.
"Remember the WILK v. AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION case from 1987? This resulted in a ruling against the AMA for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. Chiropractors considered this a major victory which confirmed the validity of the profession.
So why did the AMA roll over so easily? And why did they execute such a listless and lethargic defense and appeal?
The Vice Chancellor at Palmer recently said this........
Chiropractic good for health-care overhaul, Palmer vice chancellor says
Kurt Wood, vice chancellor for clinic affairs at Palmer College of Chiropractic, said the inclusion of chiropractic into the Senate health-care bill is recognition of the “significant contribution we can make in the health-care system.”
"Bill, I still don't get it. Why should Organized Medicine want to promote chiropractic?"
"Just think about it.....if chiropractic no longer existed, where would all the 'Practice Members' go to get their health care? To MD's, of course. And who would go where?"
"And so, Bradley, how can the inclusion of chiropractic into the Senate Health Care Bill lead to a significant contribution to the Health Care System?"
###########################################

Tonight's episode of MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER has been brought to you by....
In this episode Doctor Hartley and Doctor Phibes continue to discuss the impact of President Obama's Health Care Plan on the future of chiropractic. They are now joined by Associate Doctor Palmer Logan, who like thousands of other chiropractors, experienced miraculous relief from a high school athletic injury after chiropractic treatment.
"So Bill, what's the issue with our chiropractic 'Practice Members' going to MD Specialists?"
"My dear brother, it all goes back to WILK v. AMA.While Organized Medicine was mounting their case against chiropractic they polled thousands of MDs trying to get evidence to further discredit chiropractors. But what they quickly discovered was that the majority of MDs WANTED chiropractors to remain active and even wanted schools to expand the number of graduates!"
"The WILK v. AMA decision came down in 1987."
"Parker moved into their larger Dallas Campus in 1992 and increased enrollment.
"Palmer West expanded to a second campus in 1989 due to increased enrollment."
"University of Bridgeport was established in 1990."
COINCIDENCE?
Palmer Logan joins the conversation.
"So, Doctor, what are you getting at?"
"Palmer, the majority of chiropractors even today think that they expanded their scope of practice and were able to obtain licensure in all 50 states based on law suits and legislative influence....not true. It was Organized Medicine who influenced legislators and state and federal health care regulators to expand the rights of chiropractors!"
"Unfounded advertising claims, useless nutritional supplements, dubious diagnostic devices, AK, NAET,adjustments to prevent the Swine flu, animal chiropractic, treatments for infant colic and ADHD....how is this allowed in an era when we can take soil samples on Mars and our cars are operated by computers?
What?

MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER
Welcome my friends. Count Floyd here again with my colleague Doctor Tongue and his Chiropractic Assistant Woody Tobias. In our last episode Doctor Phibes and his half-brother Doctor Hartley, both first contact, portal of entry primary care Chiropractic Physicians, discussed changes in health care regulations which might impact their respective portal of entry chiropractic offices.
Though pessimistic about the future of chiropractic, Doctor Hartley continues to listen to his brother's explanation of things to come.
"Bill, I still don't get it. What you're saying is that Organized Medicine, Big Pharma, and Government Regulatory Agencies are all involved in promoting Chiropractic?"
"Come on, Brad, open your eyes and think! Explain this to me.........
"Let me quote what some Georgia Chiropractors say about their Asyra Machine......
Quote:
This machine will accomplish the following:
# Diagnose any condition in the body that is abnormal. If it looks for a normal heart and is rejected a screen will show up with 15 possibilities. We then try each one until we complete the circuit. Then it will diagnose the condition.
# Search and Destroy! It will search for thousands of bacteria, viruses, funguses and parasites. Just like a certain frequency will shatter glass, it knows the frequency to kill it!
# Create a homeopathic remedy to assist your body in stimulating a reaction for beneficial purposes.
# Like a garage door opener certain frequencies can help open ducts to assist your body in detoxing or draining
This machine will allow people to come off thyroid and heart medications...
"Check out the Internet....Google 'Chiropractic Detox Foot Baths'......a California Chiropractor's Website reads:
Quote:
After a series of treatments with The Ion Detox Foot Spa, you will feel:
* Improved Circulation * Decreased Stiffness in Joints * Firmer, Tighter Skin * Improved Digestion * Decreased Recovery Time from Injury or Surgery * Fotified (sic) Immune Systerm (sic) (less likely to get sick or suffer ailments) * Enhanced Liver and Kidney Functions * Increased Metabolism * Mental Clarity and Alertness * Better Overall Sense of Well-being
Increased libido is one of the great side effects of a detox foot bath. The release of toxins always makes us feel better. With regular foot baths--at least once a week--recipients say that they feel sexier. For women, detoxing with this bath is a natural remedy for frigidity. Decreasing unhealthy toxins in a woman's body helps her feel better about herself. The sexual benefits are similar for men.
"Would you allow your wife or mother to have her health problems diagnosed by the 'ACOUSTIC CARDIOGRAM'?
"Here's what a Palmer West graduate has on his website....":
Quote:
Nutritional needs can be evaluated through various testing. One of the most accurate and interesting means of testing for nutritional needs is through Acoustic Cardiography (ACG). By measuring the sounds that the heart makes we can determine the nutritional needs of the patients. Many other forms of testing are also taken into account to get a comprehensive look at the patients needs.
"Even my elderly mother would call these scams. Scientifically plausible? Yeah, right. So where are the agencies that supposedly 'protect the health of the community'?
Think about it real hard, Doctor Brad.
Where are the state Health Departments? Where is the State Attorney General? Where is the FDA? Where is the Federal Trade Commision? The Better Business Bureau?
"But Bill, what about the 2007 FBI raid on the Tampa corporate offices of the maker of the DRX-9000?"
"Nothing came of that, Brad. Lots of Chiros are still using the DRX-9000, aren't they?"
"Who or what has the power to convince Regulators to 'back off'? Certainly not the State Chiropractic Boards."
"Why are the Regulators obviously backing off? On whose orders?"

MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER
Count Floyd here again with another episode of MONSTER CHILLER HORROR THEATER. Tonight Doctor Bradley Hartley and Doctor William Phibes, first contact primary care physicians who both completed more hours of classroom study than their allopathic medical school counterparts, continue their dialogue regarding the future of Chiropractic.
"Okay, Bill, so what you're saying is that Organized Medicine wants more Chiropractors and that Regulatory organizations will not investigate or stop the use of quack devices or misleading advertising."
"But Bill, everyone knows that Big Pharma is against chiropractic because we don't prescribe drugs and we are so successful with natural cures."
"The old story....'Big Pharma is against us because we don't use their dangerous drugs which are responsible for killing over 50,000 people a day because of their toxic side effects'.....blah, blah, blah. Why should a multi-billion dollar multi-national company care about some guy with an 800 square foot office in a strip mall? "
"So, Doctor, if we were to use drugs in Chiropractic practice, what would we use......steroids, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics...right?"
"But everything that we would possibly prescribe within our scope of practice can be purchased cheaply in generic form manufactured by generic drug companies....look......you can get a month's supply of a lot of these at WalMart for $4.00.....some a little bit more, but all cheap.....
Neurontin.....generic
Soma.....generic
Motrin, Anaprox.....generic
Flexeril.....generic
Prednisone.....generic
Lidocaine.....generic
Percocet, Lortab.....generic
"Bradley, the truth is that Big Pharma could care less what we use or don't use."
"Bill, I don't get it. Big Pharma is in it to make big profits. Why would they want Chiropractors to be successful?
