The following story has been a part of my family for over 40 years and it has taken on many forms over those years. First it was a story on a piece of paper given to my father Dr. James Sigafoose. He then turned it into a simple children’s magazine style booklet that he would hand out in the office and at any spinal screenings that he and my mother, Patricia Sigafoose, would do. Years later my sister, Dr. Selina Sigafoose-Jackson turned it into a video story and finally today it has been turned into our second Chirotoon, the first being “Billy The Life Cell.” So today on SigTalks, Sit back and enjoy a little bit of chiropractic, told in a manner for the most important patient in your office, The Children.

I went back and forth about releasing this next consultation call, seeing that it was my fathers last call. But in the end, after listening to it 4 or 5 times, I realized something. My fathers passion and his explanation of how to express the chiropractic story never changes, in all the audios I have listen to over the past 6 months, his explanation of chiropractic and how to improve, not only your practice, but your life as well, never, ever changes. The entire audio is about 40 min. in total and what you are about to hear is only 16-17 min. of it. So with that, hear is Sigafoose and his last consultation call to all of his clients on the Sigafoose System.
In this 16-17 min clip, at the beginning, Dr. Sigafoose touches on two different questions. One – “Why are we not getting all the miraculous cases we used to?” And Two – “Why are you as a chiropractor having budgetary problems.”
A sneak peak, behind the scenes look at Sigafoose.com. Dr. Ed Osburn from, The Chiropractic Philanthropist, interviews Dr. Carey Pabouet-Sigafoose and Chris Burfield from, Market From The Heart and The Chiropractic Underground. Join us for a short journey and conversation about how Sigafoose.com came about and why Chris and Dr. Carey chose to launch Sigafoose.com in the manner they did.
There are moments in my life when I understand chiropractic much better then other times and this is one of those moments. Don’t get me wrong, I know what we do as chiropractors, I have known all my life, for example when I was a child and the school wanted us to be vaccinated and I wouldn’t let them or when I got sick at school at the age of 6 and I asked the school nurse if I could go home to get adjusted, but then there are just moments like listening to this. Listening to my father explain the purpose of chiropractic and understanding that we as chiropractors still have so much to do and so much more to learn.
It floors me that even today we only see 3-10% or the population on our own continent and less then 1% of the population of the entire planet. It astounds me that even today we as chiropractors a still fighting each other as to what the purpose of chiropractic is. I love the part of this audio where Dr. Sig says he does not speak for any one group or association within chiropractic, especially seeing that the ACA has just taken the stance that drugs should be allowed within our profession. I love that my father says he learned chiropractic because he learned the principal of chiropractic.
Hello, so I’m sure your wondering why I chose Billy The Life Cell for this weeks SigTalks episode. Well the reason is pretty simple. Sometimes I think we forget about our most important patients, that being the children. This simple story explains to kids and adults how the human body works. From the white blood cells and their job of fighting off infection to the communication between the brain and the body and how a subluxation can interfere with that communication. It touches on how symptoms work and how the body uses these symptoms to let us know that there is something wrong.
The story is only about 6 minutes long, but it educates everyone in a fun and memorable way. Dr. Sig was always trying to get his patients to understand the importance of chiropractic care for the entire family and how chiropractic is safe for children. There has been several large-scale research studies verifying the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for kids. The amount of force used to adjust an infant is comparable to the amount of force you use to test a ripe tomato at the grocery store. Those of you with kids know that they are certainly able to withstand a lot more pressure than that! We as chiropractors have been helping kids lead healthier lives for over 100 years, but why do kids need chiropractic care?
Every week as I dig through the piles of tapes and DVD’s that my father created I get excited, because most of the time I have no idea of what it is he is going to talk about and this week was no different. The fun part for me is not only getting to listen to my father, but also to figure out what the topic was for the week. When I chose the November 2007 recording it was very clear to me that this was a GREAT choice. I mean come on how many of us don’t wish we had a better Vision of what we wanted and where we wanted to go. Of course as usual this talk or phone conversation is directed at building your practice and improving your life, but it is so much more and the information that my father shared could be used in any aspect of your life.
The best part of having this podcast it creating fun and interesting shows. So today I am mixing things up a little bit and I am going to talk to you at the beginning instead of my usual comment section at the end, because what I have brought you today is one of my fathers entire phone consultations and well it speaks for itself.
Dr. Sigafoose shares with his clients the importance of, well not being mediocre. So for this episode it is recommended that you get a pad of paper and a pen and take notes.
Today I find myself in McKinney, Texas. I came here for a 4 day master mind session to put the finishing touches on the Sigafoose.com site and to plan our launch event. While being here, I thought I would take the time to share a clip with my friend Chris Burfield and to see what he gets from Dr. Sigafoose’s talk.
As usual Dr. Sigafoose delivers an incredible performance. Sigafoose at Red Deer is a 4 audio set, covering 5 hours of chiropractic history, principle and philosophy. The clip that you just listened to is approximately 22 minutes of Dr. Sig, covering the history of chiropractics amazing birth.
Our Most Listened To Episode EVER!
In this Episode of SigTalks, we have a candid talk with Patricia Sigafoose herself. Not only discussing about this weeks clip from,”10 Hours With Sigafoose,” but also why she thinks this was Dr. Sig’s most famous Audio Series EVER. So join us for a spell, while we learn, laugh and cry.
Think about what Dr. Sigafoose said for just one second. “99.99% of where we end up is from what we think – say – and DO.” That is worth saying again – 99.99% of where we end up is from what we think – say – and DO! We have to bring it into life by forming it in our thoughts FIRST! Most people talk more about what they don’t like or want — then what they DO. By accepting something before we get it we attract to ourselves as much as anything as we embody from within.
We will always draw to ourselves just what we are. So it is incredibly important to work on what we do have. We all need to start somewhere, so we must start from within first. See what Dr. Sigafoose is saying here? He is saying if we surround ourselves and fill our thoughts with hateful, angry, sad people that only hang out with the same, then that is what we are going to draw to ourselves. Have you ever heard of someone who people say has a golden spoon in their mouth or conversely what about the person who says – this is my lot in life I will never be or have any more then my parents because of the fact I live in the slums or a poor environment or what ever or where ever. It is what we fill ourselves with and surround ourselves with — that is the utmost important.
