(Editor’s note: This is a message from Dr. B.J. Kale, sent out by Dr. Tom Forest in his weekly upper cervical newsletter to doctors and students.)
I wanted to let you know about some great upper cervical work going on.
My team just returned from Nicaragua where we had some truly phenomenal care given.
One case that stands out from the many thousands that we delivered care to is a little 13 year old girl that has cerebral palsy. After giving her an initial scan and gaining her listing, she was adjusted on the wall because she could not get out of her wheelchair.
We kept her in day care for the morning, checking her every half hour. She kept a straight scan for over three hours, her demeanor was ever so pleasant, and she had a tremendous change after the first adjustment.
Then after the third hour she began to present a very distinct movement in her scan so we elected to adjust again. After this adjustment and with about 30 minutes of rest, her next scan was zero and her mother started crying because she was beginning to act like she never had before… she wanted to EAT. Something that simple. Her mom said she would normally have to force feed her, and even through that, Maria would only eat about a handful.
Not this time, NOT AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE SUBLUXATION that has been with her since her VERY TRAUMATIC BIRTH.
She was calm, she sat, and ate an ENTIRE PLATE of food… then began reaching for another plate and yelling “MAS..MAS”. Then we began to notice that she was sitting up on her own without any assistance in her wheelchair.
After asking the mother if this was this normal, her mother cried and said “NO!!” Her mother explained to us that she has NEVER seen her sit up on her own, NOT ONCE! Then the little girl began to stand up and began to walk. Her mother was completely blown away with excitement. Maria took a ‘lap’ around the church we were in, all with smiles and giggling. She was so happy.
We have all this on video of course, and will have it out soon.
What a great way to express the power of this principle. This little girl along with many thousands of others with some really great conditions, have now been subjected to the Specific Upper Cervical principle that you and I live by.

Dr. Harshe,
Thanks for sharing this. It truly was an enlightening experience to have such a great team at the helm with me and to know that each one of them delivered the unique understanding of Dr. B.J. Palmer’s Posterior Arch Solid Head Piece Knee Chest procedure to many thousands of people. This little girl, Maria, was such a blessing to each one of the team members. She touched so many hearts.
This is just awesome! I am always in awe of what life can do if it is free to act as it was intended. Thanks for sharing Dr. Harshe and Dr. Kale!
Chills and tears as I read this. So simple, yet so amazing.
It was a pleasure serving the people of Nicaragua.
Thanks Dr. Harshe for bringing this trip to your blog and helping people understand the power of Specific ChiropracTIC.
I suggest everyone go on a trip like this. Not only do we assist in changing peoples’ lives, but the people in return change our lives as well.
Save the world
