Biography
Daniel Palmer is Notable.
Daniel David Palmer or D.D. Palmer was a Canadian pioneer in alternative medicine who was the founder of chiropractic. An avid proponent of various forms of alternative medicine that eschew use of Western prescription medicine such as magnetic healing, Palmer was born in Ontario but emigrated to United States.
Palmer believed that the human body had an ample supply of natural "healing power" transmitted through the nervous system. He suggested that if any one organ was affected by an illness, it merely must not be receiving its normal "nerve supply" which he dubbed a "spinal misalignment", or subluxation. He saw chiropractic as a form of realigning to "reestablish the supply".
