This isn’t conspiracy theory — it’s history and a better future with Dr. Guy Riekeman
🔥 In 1972, chiropractors were still being thrown in jail for practicing “medicine without a license.” 💥 Offices were firebombed. 🚫 The AMA waged a decades-long war to “contain and eliminate” the profession — even creating a secret Committee on Quackery. 🏛️ And in 1987, the U.S. government ruled: The AMA was guilty of antitrust violations for conspiring against chiropractic. This isn’t a conspiracy theory — it’s history. And rising from the ashes of suppression, censorship, and systemic sabotage, chiropractic not only survived… it evolved. In this must-listen episode, I sit down with Dr. Guy Riekeman — global chiropractic leader, former President of Life University, and key figure in the profession’s transformation.
We uncover:
🔸 How 30,000+ chiropractors went to jail to defend patient choice
🔸 Why Ted Kennedy became an unlikely hero — authorizing the first federal research funding for chiropractic in 1994
🔸 The shocking documents smuggled from AMA headquarters that exposed the cover-up
🔸 And how neuro-based care is redefining wellness in the digital age. Today, chiropractic isn’t just accepted — it’s becoming a modern, science-forward force shaping the future of health.
👉 Tap play and witness the untold story of resilience, revolution, and rebirth.
