FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions:
What do DC's usually do with a volume book order once they receive the large quantity?
They give (or sell) copies to their patients. I Stand Amazed is an educational tool many chiropractors use to help their patients gain knowledge about subluxation-based chiropractic. And what better testimony than the heartfelt words of a patient?
How will the distribution of I Stand Amazed benefit me and my practice?
Some DC's have reported I Stand Amazed has had a role in the increased number of patients as well as
patient retention. That is one of the reasons DC's return for reorders. I Stand Amazed not only explains chiropractic "above, down, inside and out," the author clearly teaches the benefits of regular adjustments and the importance of a chiropractic lifestyle.
How are patients receiving the books from their DC?
Many DC's give I Stand Amazed to their patients during the Doctor's Report. Chiropractic offices may also give the book as a gift during an Open House or holidays (Christmas, birthdays, etc.).
Can DC's sell the books to their patients?
Yes, DC's may resell the books in their practice (check your local tax codes). We hope you pass on at least some of the author's discount to your patients, but that is entirely up to you.
What has been the response from the patients?
DC's are reporting their patients are sharing I Stand Amazed with their families and friends! They often use this book in a kind gesture to help others who are suffering. It has proven to be very effective; many of those loved ones are so inspired by Geri's story they are willing to seek chiropractic.
Has I Stand Amazed received any endorsements by leaders in the profession?
Yes! We are happy to say that I Stand Amazed has been endorsed by numerous leaders around the world.
Some of the leaders who have expressed their appreciation for the book, include:
Dr. Robert Braile, Now You Know
Dr. Gerald Clum, former president of Life West
Dr. Bob Hoffman, The Master's Circle
Dr. Fabrizio Mancini,president of Parker College of Chiropractic
Dr. Terry Rondberg, World Chiropractic Alliance

Geri Carlson... has a powerful story on her healing and restoration...another chiro. miracle! She is extremely passionate about educating the masses about chiropractic. I talked to her the other day and was very impressed... She has written two life-changing books that could impact our pts. and their children. I have ordered her children's book to give to all our families with children and grandchildren; what an awesome thing for a child to have their own chiro. book to reinforce the above-down, inside-out principle that we are trying to teach to every family...Whatever it takes to change the world and raise the next generation drug and subluxation free.

Our Profession's MVP
by Dr. Terry A. Rondberg
The Chiropractic Journal
A publication of the
World Chiropractic Alliance
April 2007
If you were to hand out a "Most Valuable Player" award, who would you give it to? Perhaps the president of one of our colleges, or a political lobbyist working in Washington, DC on our behalf? Maybe you'd give it to a renowned practice management guru who has helped thousands of practitioners succeed? What about a researcher working to validate the effectiveness of chiropractic?
Educators, lobbyists, business leaders, researchers. They're all important to the chiropractic "team" and they all deserve recognition and applause. But to me, the real MVPs are the patients who become chiropractic advocates and spread the word about how chiropractic has helped them, and can help others.
I'm talking about people like Geri L. Carlson, who has set new standards for chiropractic advocacy with her book "I Stand Amazed." I can't think of a more dedicated and passionate lay activist in the cause of chiropractic.
Geri's experience with chiropractic is in some ways familiar to all of us ‑‑ a lifetime of ill‑health, culminating in a crisis that brought her to the brink of despair, followed by a "miracle" adjustment.
She could have reacted like most of our patients, celebrating her new‑found health and telling a few friends and family members. But Geri wanted to reach beyond her own personal circle of acquaintances. She wanted to tell the world.
That's why she wrote this compelling book, filled with details about her own experiences with chiropractic as well as important information on subluxation corrective care. "As I share my journey, I pray you will come to understand the truth about reputable, subluxation‑based chiropractic," she tells readers.
In a forward to the book, Robert Schiffman, DC ‑‑ Geri's own chiropractor ‑‑ notes that "Geri has a desire to help people and has always gone above and beyond for other people. She has a fantastic understanding of chiropractic care and health. Through this book and her wonderful testimony, God has given her the ability to help humanity in a wonderful way."
Schiffman himself deserves at least part of Geri's "MVP" award and, in her book's dedication, she says, "How do you thank someone for being a lifesaver? What words could possibly express the gratitude I have for his dedication? He is the epitome of a servant."
But the award really goes to Geri and all the chiropractic advocates like her who are willing to stand up and speak out for chiropractic.
Ironically, we often get so caught up in other issues ‑‑business considerations, professional politics, techniques and procedures ‑‑ that we forget it's really all about our patients. They are the only reason we're here and if we don't remember, every minute of every working day, to put them first, we're bound to fail as chiropractors.
We have to constantly work to serve all people. Not just our current patients, but the millions of others out there who don't yet receive the benefits of chiropractic. We need to make sure they are aware of chiropractic as a unique form of health care that can improve the quality of their lives. We have to let them know they have a safe and effective alternative to risky medical treatment. And, we have to educate them not to wait until they're in pain or faced with surgery to visit a chiropractor.
As Geri says on her website (www.istandamazed.com), "This is important information that should be shouted from every rooftop ‑‑ we're talking about changing people's lives!"
Are you shouting it from your rooftop? Or, are you shuffling through each day keeping your head down and hoping that people in your community will simply learn about chiropractic through osmosis?
I realize it's not easy to manage a public education program. You're busy in your practice, helping as many people as you can. You hand out brochures in your waiting room and answer any questions your patients might have. But could you be doing more?
How about adding just one or two (three or four?) of these activities:
[Body of activities available in full in The Chiropractic Journal]
I could go on and on with other suggestions, but this will get you started. You might not be able to reach out to the world like Geri is doing with her book and website, but you could easily reach an extra 100 people every month by doing just one or two of the things I've mentioned above. That's 1,200 people a year. Multiply it by 60,000 doctors of chiropractic, and we're talking about 72 MILLION people!
At that rate, we'd all be in line for an MVP award.
