Letter from Dr. Bob Braile wishing to be LUCC president LUCC update: Dr. Sid and family are no longer with the school. The board of trustees have asked Dr. Michael Schmidt from Life West to be the interim president. They have appealed the loss of accreditation and await the final decision from the CCE. I appreciate the many e- mails received from alumni and concerned DC廣 worldwide but I have no say in the matter. If I were on the board of trustees or within the administration I would add my four cents .. but we all wait and see. Check my webpage under Chiropractic for daily newspaper updates E-mail message this week .. grasp the moment What do they say .. make lemonade from lemons and above every cloud the sun surely shines. There is not one moment where you cannot twist a moment your way .. either positive or negative. The fact is .. we are overwhelmed with negativity .. just consider the terror within our midst廣 .. psychological terror via medical misinformation .. media distortion of our deeds .. the 2500 chiropractic students in turmoil right here in Atlanta .. decisions .. decisions .. more decisions. I always look for an angle to spin the moment my way .. grasping the moment. This chore is a welcome edition within my day. Consider the press .. how can they manipulate your psyche? A recent PBS television episode distorted chiropractic and has our leaders in an uproar. I didn廠 see the episode and I幟 sure the vast majority of people didn廠 either. I choose not to get too excited or worried. For those individuals who are looking to belittle our honored profession and watched this episode now have more meat for their foolish thoughts .. everyone else could care less. Same is true for negative reports in newsprint or infrequent bursts of scandal. I use these opportunities to express my opinion one on one. If you are a DC in Atlanta .. you have been asked ad nausea about Life University .. about Dr. Sid Williams .. about your license and chiropractic or you are living under a rock. Yes .. I could have panicked and wallowed in misery and wow is me .. but I decided to grasp the moment and discuss the future of chiropractic .. the wonders that have been my gift to witness on a daily basis as a chiropractor .. the need for others to witness it first hand and the opportunity for them to tell others. I made lemonade from lemons twisting a negative into a positive. How many times can you do the same? During my trip to San Francisco my body and mind soared through the clouds as I uplifted the daily burdens into a free state willing and able to unload and refresh. New experiences .. revisited sights. Upon return to Atlanta .. I was ready to grasp the moment and meet the challenge as a businessman .. friend .. coach .. father .. husband and healer (if this is what I do) and willing to meet the challenge by expanding my knowledge base and open my mind and heart to others. Are you doing this or do you wallow and blend your negativity with the flow that envelopes you .. which is too easy. I recommend you grasp the moment and turn it around your way. Look squarely at your office .. your studies .. your goals .. your action steps. Accept only those with forward movement and shift away from the wallow and quicksand of mental minutia. Dwell less in the why you can廠 and create a magic carpet that takes you a few feet above so you can look down on issues needing a tweak here and there allowing you to soar through the clouds and open new vistas of success. Sounds cosmic .. but why not. Just grasp the moment and let this be your reality.

Letter from Dr. Bob Braile wishing to be LUCC president: Dear Supporters of Life University, The recent turmoil at Life University has effected all of us. With the loss of accreditation and the resignations of the Williams, Life University is in need of strong and principled leadership. I have been approached by many chiropractors and supporters of Life to consider the challenge of the presidency. I strongly believe that this current struggle Life University finds itself in can be overcome. I believe, as did Life's founder, that determination, perseverance, principle and leadership can and will carry the day. With this in mind, and with a strong love for chiropractic, I have decided to accept this challenge to seek the office of the presidency of Life University. To help me in this challenge I have honored by having Keith Asplin PhD agree to serve with me in a new administration should the Life Trustees approve us. Dr. Asplin is the one person who is universally respected at the CCE and who offers the best chance at regaining accreditation for Life University. In order to achieve this goal, the Board of Trustees of Life University must be persuaded that I have the support and confidence of like minded chiropractors. In this effort many who have urged me to undertake this endeavor have started a letter and email campaign designed to show their support. If you are of the mind, I ask that you read their letter and join them in this effort. To see their letter and get information on how you can add your support please visit my personal website at www.braile.net. Whether or not this comes to pass, I will continue to serve our profession in whatever way Life presents itself to me. I thank you. Yours In The Principles, Bob Braile, D.C.
