I'm sure that the biggest story in chiropractic over the last week or two has been the loss of CCE

accreditation by Life University School of Chiropractic. Personally, I am stunned and outraged at these events. Whatever the issues between Life and the CCE, thousands of students and hundreds of Life employees are being made to suffer because of it. This is just not right! If the CCE has issues with Life U then they should work it out between the two of them. Do whatever you can before taking actions that hurt the student community and the chiropractic profession in such a way. My feeling is that CCE should reinstate Life and search out other means to settle academic differences it has with Life. Use some common sense, lives are at stake! (Enough of my ranting.)

Additionally, the International Chiropractors Association has dealt with this issue on a conference call board meeting held June 18, 2002. The Board of the ICA voted unanimously to issue the following proclamation concerning this issue:

As bad as this situation is, rumors and misinformation make it even worse, especially for the students. Living here in the Atlanta area, not a day went by the first week where the story was not on the front page or on the evening news. I have fielded hundreds of questions from students, DCs and others who are interested asking 'what's the deal here'? Everyone wants to know what, why, and how.

To help bring some light to this rumor-filled situation I have collected everything I could find on this issue from every online source

I know of. We have placed them in one place in order to help the students get more information and make some sense of this crazy situation. Presently we have over 30 articles, papers and letters on this issue listed in one place. If you are interested in seeing a chronological listing of the events concerning this issue, as well as CCE documents and letters, please go to www.dc2be.com.

According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, "About 6 million Americans go online for medical advice on a typical day. That means more people go online for medical advice on any given day than actually visit health professionals, according to figures provided by the American Medical Association." This means that according to this study 62% of Internet users, or 73 million people in the United States, have gone online in search of health information.

What are they looking for? According to the study the results list out as follows.

Now You Know has just introduced 8 new website templates for our subscribers. This brings the total number of website templates we offer up to 30! This means we offer more diversity and options than ever before! The new templates include three in a blue look, one in red, one in green, one gold, one tan and one in black. Take a minute and look at some of these new templates. From the new borders and colors to the new high-end looking buttons, you can see we have come a long way.

But that's not all. We have also begun the process of updating our original website designs. With these new updates all of our websites have original and fresh looks. If you are currently a NYK website subscriber, you can change your template selection any time you want. This is a good way to freshen the look and update your site at the same time.

At Now You Know we believe that good looks only get you so far. For that reason we have continued to stress website content.

With us you get a great looking website with lots of great content at a great price!

At Now You Know we understand that we are in the "service" business. We also understand that for many doctors, getting on the internet for the first time can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience. If you feel this way you are not alone. We understand and work with doctors who are beginners at this technology every day. There is never a question we would consider "dumb", and chances are we have heard them all already.
