G. Douglas Andersen, DC - An Exceptional Chiropractor
G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN, is a chiropractor for whom I have much respect. He practices in Brea, California. More information about him is at the bottom.
Here is a selection of Andersen's articles & Letters to the Editor. While most of his articles deal with nutrition, I have primarily chosen those that have to do with his opposition to dubious practices within his profession. A couple others of interest are also included. I have attempted to place them in chronological order, so we can follow the development of his views.
His articles are well worth reading. They represent the views of a serious, reasonable, and respectable chiropractor. He is definitely not typical! If other chiropractors would listen to him, take his warnings to heart, emulate him, and support him, instead of persecuting him, they would receive more respect from the rest of the healthcare system.
