We are all products of our upbringing, from our formal academic education, to the “college of hard knocks,” to the lessons learned at the feet of our parents and grandparents And of course, there’s the popular Facebook meme, “Sometimes I open my mouth and my mother comes out!” A great deal of our belief systems comes from our parents, especially medical care and advice, which then trickles down to pet medical care and advice. Based on the topic of chiropractic medicine and healing, I think you know where I am coming from … the hallowed halls of medical academia are not mixed with quackery.

Genetic Pleiotropy and the Risks in Breeding Recessive Mutations
Nearly everyone loves what’s rare and unique. A slight defect in the minting process of a coin can create a demand and a value well beyond the face value of the coin.
