Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book occupies a unique intersection of autobiography and the history of the drugless medical movement. Set predominantly in Massachusetts during the 1920s, the author, a prominent chiropractor, found himself at the centre of a clash between the state's medical establishment and the growing movement of drugless healers. The author's recollections illustrate the struggle for recognition that the drugless movement faced during the early 20th century, revealing the personal sacrifices that pioneers of alternative medicine made in order to secure a place for their philosophies and practices in mainstream society. Through the author's story, we gain a glimpse into the social, political, and cultural context of 1920s America, the tensions between orthodoxy and innovation, and the role of individuals in shaping the course of medical history.
