Moment of Silence for Diane Winterstein

Editorial Staff

Mrs. Diane Winterstein, wife of Dr. Jim Winterstein, president of the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in Lombard, Illinois, passed away on August 27 after a nine-year battle against cancer.

From 1993-1998, Mrs. Winterstein worked in a hospice program as a certified nursing assistant, and later as a volunteer. The NUHS Board of Trustees conferred upon her an honorary doctor of humane letters degree in 2000, in recognition of her "integrity, courteousness, civility and kindness" as a result of this work and her numerous contributions to the school.

As an active supporter of NUHS and the chiropractic profession, Diane hosted the President's Cabinet Internationale at the Winterstein home, and was honored with a service commendation from the alumni association during the 2002 homecoming.

Shortly before her passing, Mrs. Winterstein returned home, and was cared for by the same hospice program for which she helped others.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
