New horror subclasses just dropped, and we're here to reanimate them, roast them, and regret reading the action economy aloud. Support our friends at DungeonFlow, because your dungeon shouldn't look like it was sketched during a Zoom call. Unearthed Arcana: Horror Subclasses Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew proves that horror isn't just for the subclasses—it's also in trying to sync microphones. After wrestling with some haunted audio gremlins, the hosts dive headfirst into the latest Unearthed Arcana drop from Wizards of the Coast, which brings a trio of spooky new subclass options to the D&D table. First up: the Artificer Reanimator, which asks the important question, “What if your sidekick was a science experiment?” With mechanics that feel like equal parts Frankenstein and Excel spreadsheet, the gang unpacks the subclass's vibes, power level, and general corpse-hugging potential. Next, they dig into the Hollow Warden Ranger, a subclass so reliant on Hunter's Mark that it might as well come with a branded tattoo. Spoiler: there's one way to build it, and WotC really wants you to take that path. The group debates its narrow design, interesting healing mechanics, and whether you can actually play it without needing a second concentration slot stapled to your forehead. Then it's time for a séance with the Grave Domain Cleric and College of Spirits Bard—both bearing mechanical changes that sparked nostalgia, mild rage, and Bardic action economy debates worthy of a dissertation. Turns out when you nerf old faves, the ghosts of playtesters past come back to haunt you. The discussion also wanders into Ravenloft's LaMortia, Van Richten's Guide, and the tragic identity crisis of the Hexblade Warlock, who still isn't quite sure what they're supposed to be when they grow up. With a healthy dose of snark, love, and grief over lost subclass features, the crew gives their full take on what works, what doesn't, and what still smells faintly of necromantic glue. Key Takeaways The real horror was the audio levels we fixed along the way. The Artificer Reanimator is what happens when a necromancer raids Home Depot. Reanimator gameplay is cool and crunchy—but don't ask how it stacks up next to Necromancers unless you want a debate. Ranger's Hollow Warden is basically "Concentration: The Subclass." There is exactly one way to build it—and if you deviate, your damage goes to a farm upstate. Players are not thrilled about the subclass being chained to Hunter's Mark. Healing-through-hitting is a new mechanic that kind of slaps, literally. New auras = new damage toys. But still… it's all wrapped around Hunter's Mark like clingfilm. Grave Cleric and College of Spirits Bard have been redesigned, and not everyone's happy about their new wardrobe. The action economy is still Bard's greatest horror story. Hexblade Warlock is having a full-blown identity crisis and might need a long rest… or therapy. Undead Warlock is both buffed and nerfed, which is somehow the most D&D thing imaginable. Ravenloft still slaps. LaMortia is creepy, cold, and full of subclass inspiration. Player feedback is a literal mechanic now—give it, or don't complain when your subclass becomes unrecognizable. Game design needs to stop making subclasses feel like assembly instructions from IKEA. Weapon Mastery and auras may help salvage narrow builds, but only just. Multiclassing into Nature Cleric can make your Ranger feel like it got invited to the cool kids' table.

(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.
Episode 63 - Murdock and Marvel: 2002 Part 2 The world was a dangerous and frightening place, and America was trying to come to terms with how to move forward, both internally and on the world stage. And comics showed a lot of that anxiety. But even so, 2002 was a big year for all involved in the comics world, as sales of actual honest to goodness comic books actually rose 10% this year to 230 Million dollars, the first time that the industry had seen that occur since 1993, when comic sales had peaked at around 850 Million. And even as traffic in stores was increasing, Hollywood was starting to understand how to make comic properties work on the screen, both small and large. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2002. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #27-38, Daredevil: Yellow #6, Paradise X: Heralds #1-2, Elektra #6, Giant Size Mini-Marvels: Starring Spidey #1, Marvel Knight: Millennial Visions #1, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #39 and 41, Essential Marvel Team-Up #1, Paradise X #0-5, Marvel Knight #2-6, Marvel Knights Double Shot #1 and 4, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Ultimate Spider-Man Special #1, Order #5-6, Spider-Man/Daredevil #1, Marville #2 along with Marvel Masterworks: The Submariner #1 and Daredevil: Yellow, Fantastic First, Life and Death of Captain Marvel graphic novels Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#27-38) Pencils: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38) Inks: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38) The year for Matt Murdock and Daredevil begins with a 6-part story called Underboss that began in December 2001. In that story we see a bombing attempt on Matt Murdock's life just outside of the courthouse and we see Sammy Silke and several of the Kingpin's other bosses repeatedly stab the kingpin leave him dying on the floor. So, who put a hit out on Matt Murdock and who is this Sammy Silke who rallied Kingpin's underlings against him? We start to get answers about this over the next 5 books through flashbacks while the story continues forward. Silke is the son of a crime boss in Chicago who needed to get out of town. He came to New York and went to work for the Kingpin – but when the Kingpin wouldn't let him put a hit on Matt Murdock – He caught wind of Murdock's seemly open secret within the Kingpin network and set in motion a plan to take out Murdock and Kingpin with the help of Kingpin's son – Richard. Vanessa Fisk finds out her husband has been stabbed and in critical condition (and not killed as reports claim). She goes to New York and despite objections from his doctor, wants Kingpin taken to the airport and flown out of the country. She also orders those that betrayed Kingpin to be killed -including her son Richard whom she visits and kills herself. Underboss ends with Silke, fearing for his life, turning himself into the FBI and asking for protection. When the FBI refuse, he tells them Murdock's secret identity. From there, things start to really go crazy for Matt Murdock. An FBI agent, needing some cash, sells Murdock's secret to the Daily Globe (the Bugle's rival paper) and it's ran as a front-page story and a media circus descents on Murdock's brownstone. Ben Urich and Peter Parker tell J. Jonah Jameson the DD secret identity story is a hoax but both refuse to tell him who DD really is; Foggy tries to get Matt to give up his life as DD. Seeing the story, Mr. Hyde shows up and starts destroying Murdock's house before Daredevil and Spider-Man can intervene. After some time away, Matt Murdock holds a press conference denying he's Daredevil. We'll jump into more detail about that during this week's spotlight. After a rooftop chat with Elektra at the urging of Black Widow, it looks like things will be settle with the Daily Globe after Daredevil visits the FBI agent who gave up his secret, but then the Globe owner Rosenthal nixes the deal because Murdock was being so smug about the agreement. The year ends with part 1 of the next named storyline, The Trail of the Century, which we'll talk about in 2003.

Before narrative arcs, there was Acererak." Dive into Tomb of Horrors Part II and uncover how D&D's most infamous deathtrap shaped the game we love (and sometimes fear). In Part II of the RPGBOT.Podcast's deep dive into Tomb of Horrors, the hosts examine the legendary module not just as a harrowing dungeon crawl, but as a historical artifact that reflects the design philosophies, challenges, and mindset of early Dungeons & Dragons. The discussion unpacks how Tomb of Horrors shaped player expectations, influenced dungeon design, and helped define the adversarial relationship between dungeon masters and players in early editions. The episode also explores how Gary Gygax's approach to game balance, storytelling, and player mortality in Tomb of Horrors laid the groundwork for decades of D&D design choices—both embraced and rejected by later generations. RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes RPGBOT.podcast Episode 1 – DnD 5e's Investigation Skill RPGBOT.Podcast S2E11 – Puzzles Mörk Borg Cult: Heretic – RPGBOT.News S2E32 Part I Tomb of Horrors as a Window in DnD History – RPGBOT.Podcast S3E24 Other Stuff Dungeons of Dread (1e) (affiliate link) Return to the Tomb of Horrors (2e) (affiliate link) Tales from the Yawning Portal (5e) (affiliate link) Tomb of Horrors (3.5) (affiliate link) Tomb of Horrors (4e) (affiliate link) Topics Covered The origins of Tomb of Horrors and its role at early Gen Con tournaments Gary Gygax's design intent: weeding out overconfident high-level players How the module embodied the "DM vs. players" ethos of early D&D The difference between puzzle dungeons and modern story-driven design The use of traps as the main antagonist: Acererak's lair as a death machine Early D&D's emphasis on player skill over character skill The legacy of lethal design and its influence on modules and game systems How later editions of D&D tried to update or reinterpret Tomb of Horrors The cultural importance of Tomb of Horrors as a shared experience What this module tells us about the evolution of D&D's mechanics and tone Key Takeaways Gygax's Intentions Were Clear: Tomb of Horrors wasn't meant to be fair—it was a test. Gygax wanted to challenge players who thought their high-level characters made them invincible. The Real Villain is the Dungeon: Unlike other adventures with monsters and villains, Tomb of Horrors uses the environment itself—full of traps and tricks—as the main antagonist. Acererak is more of a concept than a boss fight. Old-School D&D Prioritized Player Ingenuity: Surviving the module required lateral thinking, note-taking, and paranoia. Modern players used to forgiving mechanics or narrative safety nets can find the module jarringly punishing. The Adversarial DM Was Once the Norm: Tomb of Horrors epitomizes an era where the Dungeon Master was a challenge to be overcome, not a collaborative storyteller. Player Death Was Expected—Even Celebrated: Mortality wasn't a failure, it was part of the game's drama. Character death drove table stories and became a badge of honor for those who survived.

Before narrative arcs, there was Acererak." Dive into Tomb of Horrors Part II and uncover how D&D's most infamous deathtrap shaped the game we love (and sometimes fear). In Part II of the RPGBOT.Podcast's deep dive into Tomb of Horrors, the hosts examine the legendary module not just as a harrowing dungeon crawl, but as a historical artifact that reflects the design philosophies, challenges, and mindset of early Dungeons & Dragons. The discussion unpacks how Tomb of Horrors shaped player expectations, influenced dungeon design, and helped define the adversarial relationship between dungeon masters and players in early editions. The episode also explores how Gary Gygax's approach to game balance, storytelling, and player mortality in Tomb of Horrors laid the groundwork for decades of D&D design choices—both embraced and rejected by later generations.

Gygax wanted to challenge players who thought their high-level characters made them invincible. The Real Villain is the Dungeon: Unlike other adventures with monsters and villains, Tomb of Horrors uses the environment itself—full of traps and tricks—as the main antagonist. Acererak is more of a concept than a boss fight. Old-School D&D Prioritized Player Ingenuity: Surviving the module required lateral thinking, note-taking, and paranoia. Modern players used to forgiving mechanics or narrative safety nets can find the module jarringly punishing. The Adversarial DM Was Once the Norm: Tomb of Horrors epitomizes an era where the Dungeon Master was a challenge to be overcome, not a collaborative storyteller. Player Death Was Expected—Even Celebrated: Mortality wasn't a failure, it was part of the game's drama. Character death drove table stories and became a badge of honor for those who survived. Modern Reimaginings Have Softened the Edges: Later versions (3e, 4e, 5e) of the module add story hooks and balanced mechanics but often struggle to retain the tension of the original. There's a tradeoff between accessibility and authenticity.

When your world's on fire, the schedule's in chaos, and the goblins are unionizing—welcome to West Marches. In this episode, Ash Ely and Tyler “RPGBOT” Kamstra venture deep into the untamed wilds of West Marches–style tabletop roleplaying games. With no regular party, no fixed storyline, and no safety net, they explore how this classic format redefines player agency and opens the door to truly dynamic storytelling. The hosts explain how to build a vibrant, reactive world filled with tension, consequence, and creative freedom. They also share tips for managing the behind-the-scenes chaos: prepping seasonal events, tracking a living timeline, and handling player-driven schedules without losing your mind. Along the way, they touch on the mechanical differences between Pathfinder 2 and D&D 5e in supporting exploration-based gameplay and share some clever ideas for managing treasure, experience gaps, and inevitable player death. The conversation expands to include updates on upcoming Pathfinder 2 spell list guides, their thoughts on reading vs. audiobooks, and why supporting local game stores is vital to the RPG community. As always, personal stories and sharp banter round out the episode, keeping things informative and entertaining.

The world is sandbox-style—no set party or plot—and players choose when and where to explore. Hex crawling and random encounters enhance exploration and inject unpredictability. A successful West Marches world is reactive, with consequences shaped by player choices. GM prep includes world timelines, seasons, and milestone-based time management. NPCs may be unreliable, adding narrative tension and misdirection. The format suits drop-in/drop-out play, allowing varied player participation. Players must prepare before sessions, as they drive the story. Storytelling and Worldbuilding The world should feel lived-in, with visible effects from past player actions. Incorporating pacing shifts and seasonal changes creates depth and realism. Building a sense of urgency can help motivate player decisions. Character death and level gaps must be handled carefully to maintain balance and satisfaction. Creative treasure systems can engage players more than traditional loot drops. System Considerations Pathfinder 2 excels at structured exploration, making it a strong choice for West Marches. D&D 5e is viable but may require tweaks for sandbox structure and time management. Community and Culture The hosts provide updates on upcoming Pathfinder 2 spell list guides. Audiobooks offer a practical way to enjoy fiction while multitasking. They tease an upcoming audiobook version of Randall's novella. Supporting local game stores is emphasized as critical to the health of the hobby. Listener engagement through reviews and shares helps sustain and grow the show. Ash and Tyler discuss personal struggles with reading and time, connecting with listeners on a relatable level. As always, the show mixes insightful advice with humor and camaraderie, the secret ingredients that keep listeners coming back.

Scarabin also shares memories of the government-run store, the ice-making facility, and the kerosene-powered stove and lamps used in his home.Scarabin recounts his childhood sailing adventures in a skiff, learning the skill from an uncle. He also shares a harrowing experience of nearly drowning while fishing with his father and uncles, highlighting the dangers of the swift river currents. Despite the lack of life jackets, his father's quick action saved his life.One day, while fishing in the Portsite (Ammamapare) channel, Louis and two friends' boat capsized, leaving them stranded in the water. One friend, Joe Podufalski, swam back to the boat and turned off the motor, allowing the others to be rescued. Despite the frightening experience, they returned to fishing later that day.A fishing trip to an island off the southern coast of New Guinea resulted in the loss of all the fish caught. They encountered a large sea snake and later, while returning, their motorboat broke down near an island teeming with crabs. After being stranded, they received help from shark fishermen and eventually returned to port, where some crew members had to work on a tram accident. DD recounts an Indonesian memory of a soldier shooting a crocodile between Pad 11 and Portsite.Scarabin recounts his childhood in Burrwood with limited 4th of July celebrations.

On this episode of IDD Health Matters, Dr. Craig Escudé sits down with two remarkable nurses—Patty Haberkorn and Deanna Cox—at the Illinois Developmental Disabilities Nurses Conference. With a combined four decades of experience supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), Patty and Deanna share powerful insights into nursing, advocacy, communication, and the often-overlooked emotional rewards of this career path. Patty, who began her journey as a nurse and now serves as Executive Director at Futures Unlimited, and Deanna, a dedicated nurse who found her calling in DD care after working in long-term care, both reflect on how they "fell into the field" and stayed out of passion. They open up about the gaps in nursing education regarding IDD, the importance of understanding non-verbal communication, and the critical role of baseline behavior in diagnosing health issues. This episode covers: The value of advocacy from nurses and direct support professionals Real-world challenges in educating physicians and gaining respect for individuals with IDD Why knowing a person's baseline behavior is crucial for accurate medical care The emotional connection between care staff and the individuals they support Staffing and funding challenges in the IDD sector—and why passion still keeps them going Whether you're a nurse, DSP, administrator, or someone curious about working in disability services, this conversation offers heartfelt stories and essential wisdom about the importance—and joy—of working in this field.
This episode is sponsored by DungeonFlow.app. When the gods demand adventure, Dungeon Flow answers—summon your map now at DungeonFlow.app. In this wide-ranging and emotionally resonant episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast takes a sharp turn into the shifting foundations of the tabletop RPG industry, particularly the significant changes at Wizards of the Coast. With the recent retirements of longtime Dungeons & Dragons luminaries Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, the hosts take a thoughtful look at the history of these figures, their legacy, and what their departure means for the game's future. The episode explores the consequences of Hasbro's increasing influence on creative decisions, the fallout from the OGL crisis, and the failure of initiatives like the Sigil VTT. Throughout, the hosts consider what lies ahead for D&D—whether the game will weather the storm of corporate missteps or if third-party publishers will seize the moment to redefine the RPG landscape. Amid uncertainty, one thing is clear: the future of the game will be shaped by both the community's response and the creative forces willing to strike out on their own. Key Takeaways The State of Dungeons & Dragons Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, two of D&D's most influential figures, have stepped down. Perkins has worked on D&D since 1988, while Crawford helped shape 5e's identity. Their exit signals the end of a creative era and raises questions about who will lead next. Hasbro's increased focus on profitability has compromised creative freedom. The OGL crisis alienated fans and damaged trust in Wizards of the Coast. Sales of the 2024 Player's Handbook were record-breaking but still missed expectations. Shortages of physical books suggest logistical and planning issues. Industry and Community Impacts The Sigil VTT project, led by video game designers, failed to meet community needs. Layoffs and leadership changes have made the future of D&D increasingly uncertain. Many believe D&D is leaving its "golden age" and entering a phase of instability. Hasbro's corporate oversight has placed immense pressure on remaining design staff. Amanda (noted designer) is recognized as talented but remains controversial. The rise of third-party developers may usher in a more decentralized RPG scene. Players are growing more divided over recent content, pricing, and delivery models. The shift toward digital may alienate some fans and raise the cost of entry. Despite frustrations, many still wish D&D and its former designers well.

In this episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens. 4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance. 5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly. 6. Vitamin D Levels - Levels observed in autoimmune conditions, IBS, and more.- Symptoms.- Insufficient and excessive levels of vitamin D can be detrimental.- Multi-system. 7. Conclusion - Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

In this riotously entertaining episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew embarks on a wild ride from the expressive chaos of Nicolas Cage's acting to the mythic battlegrounds of Ysgard, the Viking heaven of Norse mythology. Along the way, the hosts take pit stops in Glorium's rowdy streets, wander the dwarven stronghold of Nidavellir, and contemplate the celestial politics of Seluna and Shar. Whether you came for cinematic hot takes, planar travel lore, or tactical GM advice, this episode has something for everyone who enjoys myth-heavy mayhem and tactical improvisation. The crew dives into the layers of Ysgard's lore—from eternal battles and sentient giants to magical gate towns and celestial intrigue—blending serious worldbuilding with their signature humor. They also tackle the practical side of RPG combat, offering advice on reskinning monsters, navigating Challenge Ratings, and surviving those “oh no” moments behind the DM screen. So strap in for an episode that's part mythic deep-dive, part Cage-fueled comedy roast, and 100% tabletop chaos. Key Topics Covered: Character Creation & Acting Tangents The artistry of Nicolas Cage: method actor or chaos incarnate? Mark Wahlberg's variable performance range. Why bad movies sometimes make for great inspiration. RPG character creation as a narrative tool and personal expression. Deep Dive: Ysgard, the Plane of Eternal Battle Ysgard is Viking heaven: eternal war, mighty mead, and storytelling mayhem. The confusing yet compelling structure of Norse myth and its impact on D&D lore. Differences between Ysgard and Akaron: glory vs. order. Portals, planar access points, and the metaphysical bus schedules to Ysgard. The Rumelais: unique native creatures with mysterious motivations. Giants in Ysgard: smart, social, and surprisingly civilized. Gate Town Glorium: culture-rich, fire-giant-threatened, and narrative gold. Nidavellir: a dwarven and gnomish city-state with its own unique governance. Celestials and cosmology: the Lilin, transformed by Seluna, and the tension with Shar. Mythical Bits & Narrative Hooks Rattatosker the squirrel: more than a meme, he's a lore-bearing rodent of mischief. How players can plug their own stories into the mythic framework of Ysgard. Tirza of Glorium: adding drama, danger, or comic relief to planar campaigns. The Gates of the Moon: not just a poetic name, but a powerful location. GM Tools: Combat on the Fly Strategies for improvising combat encounters. Why reskinning monsters keeps players on their toes. Action economy: what it is and how it defines encounter flow. The truth about Challenge Ratings: more suggestion than science. Tools of the trade: stat blocks, encounter tables, and “The Monsters Know What They're Doing.” Practice makes prepared: why experience is the best GM teacher. Key Takeaways: Ysgard is ideal for chaotic good storytelling, player-driven plots, and epic themes. Norse myth is vague, fragmented, and rich with room for creative adaptation. Glorium offers fertile ground for exploration, politics, and conflict. DMs can elevate encounters by preparing loose frameworks and embracing improvisation. Even the most over-the-top topics (Nick Cage included) can lead to real storytelling gold.

Chiropractic was "discovered" in 1895 by an eccentric "energy healer" in Davenport, Iowa named Daniel David Palmer. DD thought he discovered the cure to deafness when a patient of his had his hearing restored.Fast forward and in the next 100 years chiropractic has become available throughout the world as a healing art. Bharon Hoag is NOT a chiropractor. He has found it to be his purpose in life to expose the truth about chiropractic.RESOURCES:Freebie: "10 Step Guide to Empower Your Healthcare:https://healthfreedom101.com/"One Chiropractic":https://onechiropractic.org/The Chiropractic Defense Councilhttps://www.defendchiropractic.org/One Chiropractic on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/onechiropracticOne Chiropractic on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/onechiropracticThis episodes blog page:https://drhaley.com/what-is-chiropractic/TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Intro Snip07:00 How was a man helped that had incontinence?07:26 How was a young lady that couldn't get pregnant helped?08:36 How did Dr. Haley help a woman that couldn't get pregnant?12:19 How is it working to your advantage not being a chiropractor but in the chiropractic profession?13:23 How does having insurance affect the care that you get?21:07 How often should someone get chiropractic adjustments?22:17 What would you do if chiropractic was illegal?22:43 Why is there always a battle trying to limit chiropractic?26:23 How old do you have to be to get a chiropractic adjustment27:52 How has chiropractic affected your relationship with your creator?34:03 What should the scope of chiropractic include?38:33 Why do so many chiropractors fail in their practice?44:10 What advice do you have for someone that has never been to a chiropractor?
