D.D. Palmer Spirits of Mercy

D.D. Palmer Spirits of Mercy by Todd Waters. The founder of Chiropractic claimed a spiritual entity taught him the principles of his new science and that Chiropractic would advance man in this life and the one beyond. However, Palmer's spiritualist writings are not widely accepted by the profession he created. This book introduces an untold history of D. D. Palmer and his years in Burlington, Iowa (1886-1888). Palmer communicated with spiritual entities through the medium of a dying patient he attempted to revive with magnetic healing. Palmer was scorned by a coroner's inquest and soon relocated to Davenport, Iowa where he discovered Chiropractic. This book also explores magnetic healing and the Spiritualist movement of Palmer's days. A study of both is essential to understand the philosophies that shaped Palmer's thinking. With the information presented herein, Palmer's Spiritualistic Chiropractic writings may be examined under a new light for those who dare to take the journey.
