Abba (DD’s first wife) was a spiritualist. Divorced and moved to SF. DD then married Landers (4 kids), then Martha, lastly Alvilla Thompson (Villa)

Harvey Lillard - Janitor at Ryan Building. Deaf sometimes after back pop (displacement of vertebrae) T4 “racked”. After 2 adjustments, hearing was completely restored for the rest of Lillard’s life. BJ said it was in the neck (C2), but this is disputed.

Theories of Chiro from DD:

1. 1897-1902, Therapeusis, manipulation, no innate intelligence, causes circulatory obstruction, machine metaphor, nerve pinching., vital tone (body working correctly)

2. 1903-1906: No Therapeusis, Adjustments to subluxation, nerves/innate intelligence, no circulatory obstruction, Foraminal occlusion, nerve pinching, machine metaphor. No tone

3. 1908-1914: No Therapeusis, adjustments, innate intelligence, no circ. Obstruction., nerve vibration, optional religious plank or obligatory, tone.

Difference between Manipulation and Adjustments: Manipulation-making a temporary change Adjustment- specific time, direction for a more permanent solution

3rd theory believed nerves may be impinged upon, not pinched, by misaligned joints
