Colorado DC to run for Congress
Currently, 19 members of the US Congress are medical doctors yet, despite the fact that there are more than 65,000 chiropractors in this country, not one of them serves in the US Senate or House of Representatives.
That may change soon. Colorado’s Perry Haney, who has earned both his DC and MD degrees, is running for Congress in the 6th Congressional District (a suburban district east and south of Denver).

DCs make holidays a season for giving
The holiday season is often a very busy time of year for DCs.

Don’t fear ‘The Reaper’
The Greek god Chronos, symbolized by “The Reaper” (aka Father Time), was considered to be ageless. His offspring was revered as the creator of the cosmos. His name was associated with progress, the past, and the future.
