A Moment of Silence for Michael Kale,DC

Editorial Staff

On July 2nd, 2001, prominent South Carolina chiropractor Michael Kale, 61, passed away in Landrum, SC.

Dr. Kale left behind a legacy of published books, lectures, studies, and most notably, the Kale Foundation. Based in Spartanburg, home of Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic, the foundation and related business supports what is known as the "brain-stem procedure."

The doctor was known by many as the "world's leading authority on upper cervical specific knee-chest technique," and was a continuing education faculty member at Palmer College of Chiropractic and Life University; he was also a Distinguished Fellow of the International Chiropractic Association.

Dr. Kale is survived by his wife Charlotte; sons, Drs. Randolph H. and B.J. Kale; daughter Dr. Renee Kale de Pena; nine grandchildren; and brother David Kale.

Memorial services were held at the First Baptist Church in Boiling Springs, on July 7. More information on Dr. Kale and his work can be found at www.kale.com.

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.
