TNR Happenings, June 30, 2026

Following rules, laws, and memes meant for the ordinary that need others to do their thinking and declare their values and expectations has a stifling effect. TNR has always stood for boldness, audacity, and living and thinking outside of the box while in service to others. We also accept the consequences of our actions. If given the choice, we gladly ask for forgiveness after the fact rather than be stalled waiting for permission, bureaucracy, etc. My wife and I started our practice before we were technically legal.  Our occupancy permit was not yet in our possession, and people wanting to see a chiropractor kept calling. We started seeing these people because their needs overruled the regulations and rules of social resistance. 

It’s not that we feel we are superior to others, are smarter, or are more deserving; it’s that we have our own businesses. Freedom, profit, and serving others are more important to us than waiting in line with people who don’t have places to go. Some people who served on jury duty with me years ago thought it was the best day of their lives and didn’t want it to end. They were allowed to skip work, but I was leaving hundreds of people in the lurch. Try building something in a metro area, like an addition or an office remodeling. Good luck! You will experience the full force of RESISTANCE! It’s invisible if you are claimed by mediocrity or are a scared analytic who obeys every rule, no matter how ridiculous. Think covid here, as your comrades reminded you to wear your face diaper. The legal and agreed-upon mores of society are not carved in stone, nor are they true. They serve as guidelines, not as imprisonment. Doing the right thing consistently takes tremendous levels of courage. Try having your family pet get groomed without a certificate verifying a profound allegiance to disease. The concept of rabies is a meme; it’s not based in truth any more than covid, war, disease, etc. TNR is like no other organization. It shows you how to do things that would terrify others, as some rules or regulations need to be ignored or bent. When we are on the Reservation, we do what needs to be done, and their resistance can take over when we leave. Kenny thinks we are like a group of special oops people: we get things done in a few days that would take residents months.

I treated a traumatic brain injury patient for years. His story was that he was afraid to cross the double yellow line on a road when a car from the other lane swerved into his lane head-on. The other driver who ran into him had had a heart attack. All my patient had to do was cross the yellow line to avoid him. My patient had been programmed so much that he would rather suffer the consequences of blindly obeying the rules. In Chiropractic College, I was exiled from the student clinic for the offense of not following orders. The clinical director told me what he wanted done to a professor’s wife, and I did not agree with it. I still don’t agree with what the clinical director wanted me to do. She was suffering from an acute disc protrusion with radiating pain into her arm. Doing a forceful adjustment in this circumstance was not in this woman's best interest. I was kicked out of the clinic during my last week in school, and a substitute student who followed orders did what he was told to do. Then the next thing that happened was an ambulance headed up the long driveway of 1851 Shoettler Road, Chesterfield, MO.

Freedom and liberty are available; however, there is a heavy price to be paid. You need to be successful with deep economic roots to contend with people who have no such roots since they use other people’s money and resources and take the simpler, easier, and safer way out. You don’t want these people making rules for you or shaming you. You also don’t want these people as your doctors, as they will take the easy way out with no risk to themselves since the risk will squarely fall on your shoulders.
