Everything's coming up roses for the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation. On January 13, the Foundation accepted a long-awaited invitation to participate in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade January 2, 1995.
"In inviting the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation to participate in the Tournament of Roses, we recognize the important contribution the chiropractic profession makes in improving individuals' health and well being," said Michael Ward, president of the Tournament of Roses.
The invitation was the culmination of two and one-half years of work by the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation, Donald Petersen Jr., and Michael Schroeder, who head the CCF's Special Projects Committee.
"I'm elated," said Michael Schroeder, "not only by this invitation, but also by the Tournament of Roses' clear recognition of the importance of the chiropractic profession to the public's health and well being."
"The Chiropractic Centennial is fast becoming a reality," said CCF President William Holmberg, DC. "The Rose Parade will be an exciting international event that will allow chiropractors around the world to share in the excitement of our 100 anniversary."
The Rose Parade is an event viewed by some 318 million people in over 80 countries. The theme for the 1995 Rose Parade is "SPORTS -- Quest for Excellence."

Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
