This interview might be interesting, especially if you have a rainy day sometime with little to do…
…I was recently interviewed by Dr. Thomas Lamar on his internet radio show called, “Spinal Column Radio.” The topic was history, specifically relating to D.D. Palmer, the founder of the chiropractic profession.
Accompanying me in the interview was author, Todd Waters (whose recent book, “Chips from Sweet Home,” focused deeply on the subject of the interview. It was my honor to write a foreword to the book which is now available (see below). Together we were interviewed about D.D. Palmer’s early life, including reminisces about my research leading to the location and documentation of the site of D.D. Palmer’s 1800’s apiary and nursery, which he referred to as, “Sweet Home.” Palmer was a fascinating individual, whose thinking was as original as his personality was enigmatic. 
The Canadian born Palmer immigrated to the United States during the Civil War to join his parents who had been living in Iowa for some years. There he became a school teacher, then a horticulturist successfully raising raspberry nursery stock and became one of the country’s largest producers of honey. All of this was before his interest in the healing arts began to take root.
