693. Proud of the Principle

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson are fired up about patriotism — and they're bringing that same energy straight to chiropractic. An 80-year-old woman parks across the street and walks in through a construction zone because nothing is stopping her from getting adjusted. The office smells like a septic tank, the driveway is a crater, and it was their busiest Monday in three weeks. That's what happens when people believe in what you do — and when you're too proud of it to quit. If we're not proud of chiropractic, why should anybody else be? It's time to Wake Up Humans — get dipped in the principle, show up to DE, get connected to the IFCO, and start spreading this message like a pack of wolves. The fields are white with the harvest.

Dr. George Rhodes discovered chiropractic at 18 years old after a neck injury during a vacation in Wildwood, New Jersey was instantly relieved through his first chiropractic adjustment. That life-changing experience inspired him to pursue a career dedicated to helping others heal naturally.In 1982, he opened his chiropractic practice in Philadelphia, initially using traditional adjusting techniques. After the birth of his daughter in 2005, Dr. Rhodes expanded his approach by studying Koren Specific Technique (KST), a gentle method that uses biofeedback to better understand the body's needs and support deeper healing.Today, Dr. Rhodes is passionate about helping people restore their health by addressing subluxations and reducing the physical and emotional stress stored within the body. His mission is to elevate human vitality and consciousness through chiropractic care.Dr. Rhodes is a member of the ICA, ICPA, IFCO, and CFoP. He is also a recipient of the Ph.C. Award (Philosopher of Chiropractic), has practiced Reiki Healing since 1995, and became a Fellow of the International Academy of Clinical Acupuncture (FIACA) in 1987.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson come back fired up from Sherman College and their first official IFCO board meeting — and they have a message for every chiropractic student listening: you are not alone. The profession has always been messy. The politics, the infighting, the organizations trading the principle for a seat at a table where the food is poisoned. Dr. Sid saw it in 1966. We're still seeing it today. But here's what else Dr. Sid saw — that when principled chiropractors stop arguing about who's at whose table and come together around the one thing that matters, this profession will blow up. Detect the subluxation. Correct it. Leave it alone. That's chiropractic. Everything else is noise. Dr. Steve reads the paper his daughter wrote on the big idea — and cries. She didn't write it in the hours she sat down. She wrote it in 22 years of being carried into rooms where the principle was alive. That's the legacy being built. One student at a time. One adjustment at a time. One DE at a time. You don't have to suffer through 10 years of practice before you find this. Come now. Show up now. We'll teach you for free. It's time to Wake Up Humans — join up, show up, and become the chiropractor this profession has always needed you to be. How's your Atlas?

Audience Attitudes to Harmful and Offensive Media Content Are Changing

New research has highlighted Irish audiences' evolving attitudes to harmful and offensive media content, with two-in-three adults (67%) reporting that they did not have concerns about seeing or hearing potentially harmful or offensive media content themselves. However, among adults who are parents, a majority (52%) were concerned. The research on Audience Perspectives on Harmful and Offensive Media Content was conducted by Coimisiún na Meán and the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), with the Ombudsman for Children's Office designing and facilitating the focus groups for children. This research examines the attitudes of adults and children to content on television, radio, cinema, home entertainment and video-on-demand services. It also looks at their perspectives regarding the regulation of such content. The research consisted of a desk-based review, a nationally representative survey of adults and focus group discussions with adults and children. Speaking on the launch of the research, Aoife MacEvilly, Coimisiún na Meán Broadcasting and Video-on-Demand Commissioner, said: "We at Coimisiún na Meán are committed to ensuring that audiences, especially children, can benefit from the positive aspects of media, while also being protected from its potential harms. Central to this ambition is ensuring that Irish audiences, especially children, can engage safely with content that is age-appropriate for them. The research report that we are launching today provides crucial insights into how Irish people consume media - whether broadcast, on-demand, at home or in cinemas - and gives us a strong evidence base regarding their attitudes to regulation, which will inform future updates to our Media Services Codes and Rules. I want to extend my thanks to the Coimisiún na Meán Research team, the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), the Ombudsman for Children's Office and all those who participated in the research who have contributed their time, views and expertise in developing this research report.'' While most adults are unconcerned about encountering potentially harmful or offensive media content, most parents report feeling 'very concerned' about younger children (12 years and under) viewing/listening to content that includes dangerous or harmful behaviours (74%), sexual themes and nudity (74%), or violence (66%). Parents are less concerned about younger children encountering strong language (44%). Parents are generally less concerned about teens encountering potentially harmful or offensive content. Indeed, they consider that some adult content may be appropriate for older children, if it is consensual, its portrayal is healthy and realistic, and it could help educate their children. Parents take comfort in knowing that there are regulated spaces that adhere to certain standards, and from the parental controls and child settings that come with some subscription video-on-demand services. Child participants highlighted some practical improvements that could be made to such features, including the use of voice control or fingerprint access. While teen participants generally considered it appropriate that parents should monitor content for younger children, many considered that the balance should shift towards greater self-monitoring as children mature. Moreover, many confirmed that they do indeed self-monitor their content consumption, On media types, adults report greatest concern about harmful and offensive content on Reality TV (49%), followed by Drama/Fiction (31%), Factual programming (27%) and Light entertainment (25%). Dr Ciarán Kissane, Director of Film Classification at the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), said: "This research presents valuable insights into children's and adults' views in relation to media content across all the main platforms in the post-COVID era. It specifically addresses the content categories that IFCO uses to provide guidance to Irish audiences. The research has already informed IFCO's re...
