The proposed merger of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards was approved by NBCE delegates and FCLB members at their respective annual meetings, held jointly in Atlanta, Ga., this year. Per the new bylaws, the new entity takes the NBCE name, with FCLB continuing as a department within NBCE. The federation will continue to enjoy Board of Directors representation on what will be a single, expanded board.

Health care is a daily discussion among most Americans. While the U.S. health care system is admired for its technical achievements, the costs associated with new, high-tech treatments can be prohibitive. Fortunately, there are other options. In fact, research suggests that supporting the natural health of the body can be more cost effective than simply preventing disease and/or reactively treating symptoms. This conference at Life University will discuss new low-tech or no-tech ways to explore, research and promote health. Parts of the discussion will focus on the following integrative health care opportunities:
- Homeopathy
- Chiropractic
- Naturopathy
- Acupuncture
- Ayurveda
