William Harvey Lillard

And, uh, I guess that was the most exciting.

And I, I had a Harvey Lillard case, a, a woman.

Okay.

That, that's in your book.

However, here's where it starts to...

There, there's a twist to this, right? Because there was a gentleman that came to him who was deaf in one ear, okay? Uh, his name was Harvey Lillard.

So he came to him.

He figured, "Okay, let me try this guy because I've tried medications.

I've tried blah, blah, blah, all these types of stuff, and none of the medications and all the other things that I've tried have helped me with my deaf- with, you know, with the loss of hearing." So Harvey Lillard went to D.D.

Palmer, and after one adjustment, he actually adjusted him, and after one adjustment, apparently he was able to hear.

Wow.

Now, you would say, "Well, George, I don't, I don't believe that." The, the, the, the crazy part about this, if you research online Harvey Lillard, he actually wrote a testimonial about it-

What especially drew me to Daniel's work, though, is that his philosophy extends well beyond the adjustment itself.

Through the lens of nonviolent communication and a deep sense of purpose, he places the whole needs of each patient at the forefront of care.

His mission is to educate and empower people to reconnect with what he describes as their inborn intelligence and design through unadulterated chiropractic care.

As I read through his work, I couldn't help but notice how many philosophical threads overlap, and I just knew that we'd have a great conversation for all of our listeners here today.

But in 1895, there was a man who, his name was D.D. Palmer.

He was the one who founded chiropractic.

And I always ask people, what do you think the first ailment was for the first ever patient for chiropractic care? And just real clear, Kelly, what would you guess? The first ever chiropractic patient, what do they have?

I think most people would say back pain or neck pain, right?

So as the lore goes, He's working in his office in Iowa and the building janitor comes in.

His name is Harvey Lillard.

I can already tell the story didn't happen, but

continue.

I know for certain that Lillard was now able to hear.

Absolutely.

He restored Harvey Lillard's hearing in that moment.

And that moment was the start of the field of chiropractic.

I was only going three times a week.

It's kind of like we go back into Harvey Lillard and the hearing issue.

His hearing was not restored because he was given a hearing adjustment.

His hearing was restored because he was giving an adjustment, a correction to his nervous system that allowed it to optimize itself and allowed the lights to come back on from his brain to his body and get itself to heal.
