Russell Conwell helped to transform a night school in a church basement in Philadelphia into Temple University. He did it by retelling a story that was told to him while in a camel caravan in Mesopotamia. It was a story about Al Hafed, a very wealthy farmer in ancient Persia. Al Hafed was living his dream life until one day a Buddhist priest visited him and during their conversation told him how the world was formed. The old priest also told Al Hafed about diamonds and that if he had a handful of diamonds he could purchase a whole country. With a mine of diamonds he could place his children upon thrones through the influence of their great wealth.
That night Al Hafed went to bed a poor man -- not that he had lost anything. He was poor because he was discontented and discontented because he thought he was poor. After a sleepless night, he arose early the next morning and told the priest of his desire to be immensely rich. After a lengthy conversation the priest told him that he would find diamonds in a river that runs over white sand between high mountains. Al Hafed sold his farm, collected his money, left his family in the charge of a neighbor, and began his search for diamonds.
After years of exhaustive search throughout Palestine and across Europe, penniless, ragged and wretched, he threw himself into the incoming tide off the coast of Spain never to rise again.
In the meantime, back at the farm, Al Hafed’s successor, while giving his camel a drink from the stream that ran through the property, found a black stone with an eye of light that reflected all the colors of the rainbow. The stone turned out to be a diamond. And so were discovered the diamond mines of Golconda, the most magnificent diamond mines in the history of mankind; exceeding the Kimberley mines in value. Had Al Hafed remained at home and in his own garden, instead of wretchedness, starvation, poverty and death in a strange land, he would have had "acres of diamonds.” Every shovelful of that old farm has since revealed the gems which have decorated the crowns of monarchs. The most amazing and tragic element of this story is the fact that we have so many modern day Al Hafeds wandering around looking for their acres of diamond everywhere except in the backyard of their own mind.
Change your Perspective
One of the valuable lessons taught by this incredible story is one of perspective. How do you see your EXPERIENCE at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center? The gem stones are the perspectives you develop over time as a result of seeing YOUR world more clearly. When you see yourself more clearly, you see yourself as someone who is valuable and has limitless healing and life potential. As we say at the office, NO LIMITS. This attitude of believing and desiring for the best outcomes and the highest level of healing are all reflected in your actions. This positive perspective also motivates you and compels you to act with a clearly defined purpose; a purpose of accomplishing the goals of our best healing recommendations for you and your family.
Opportunities are dressed in work clothes
Your greatest opportunities lie under your own feet. They lie in your ability and willingness to commit to the resources and knowledge that are offered at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center. The challenge is that in the rough, a diamond does not look like a diamond that we are familiar with. It looks like a black, rough piece of rock and must be cut, shaped and polished repeatedly before it glistens like the valuable stone that it is.
The Al Hafed patients in our practice are waiting around for their healing to turn up. They are looking for the easy way out; missing weekly scheduled chiropractic adjustments, skipping out on doing their exercises, not attending invaluable workshops and Extreme Makeover events, making every excuse possible not to attend our “6:45am” life-transforming run/walk club on Saturdays, or thinking that we’re trying to sell them products when we’re trying to provide them with life-saving and transforming nutritional resources. They fail to realize that their acres of diamonds represent an opportunity for them to learn and work hard to achieve and reap a life-long level of superior health and wellness; so they can enjoy the life that God created for them and reach their divine destiny.
Keep on keeping on! You’re getting closer every day!

TIC V. TOR
A heart-felt thank you goes out to every patient of Yachter Family Chiropractic Center. I appreciate you allowing me to travel. My time away was meaningful.
The purpose of my trip was 3 fold. Firstly, I was invited to the New Zealand School of Chiropractic Lyceum (homecoming weekend) to speak and share regarding practice/clinical excellence. Secondly, I was exposed to instructors who are considered some of the greatest minds in chiropractic. I was not only a teacher but a student as well. Dr. Reggie Gold, Dr. Gerry Clum, Dr. Bruce Lipton, and Dr. Brian Kelley are a few who spoke and are considered among the greatest names in our profession. They know more about healing, saving lives, and running high quality, patient focused practices than anybody in the world. Thirdly, my reason for traveling throughout New Zealand & Australia with my wife was for a much needed refreshing and rejuvenating. Because of it, you now have a well-rested, clear-minded, more focused and passionate chiropractor on your hands. I have not had a few weeks “off” in over 16 years. After regularly working 16-18 hour days, I believe it was well earned.
Why am I sharing this with you? You should know that there is always a major reason for me being away from the office. It is ultimately to become a more effective and confident clinician. It is to continue to grow, learn, expand, and become the best healer possible. Sharing my knowledge and skills with other chiropractors is critical for a few reasons: it allows me to help them become better doctors, for these doctors to serve their communities with the best available resources, and as the teachers/speaker/example, it forces and holds me accountable to walk my talk and really strive to be consistent and congruent regarding what I’m teaching versus what is happening within my practice.
With all of that being said, time out the office for Dr. Dan, the chiropracTOR will only serve to deliver the highest quality care to you, the patient. Rest assured, while I’m away, Dr. Leif, or any adjusting doctor at that time, will continue to deliver the same level of care and will continue to perform an excellent service. They are just as well-trained and are exceptionally talented. Techniques, styles, & touches vary, but competence is always of the utmost. Any doctor that I leave to care for you & your family is fully equipped and expertly trained to remove subluxation and to optimize neurological function.
While many patients were happy to hear of my journey, several were not. Most patients complain to me that I work too hard and never take time off. So, they were pleased with my long absence. Many patients were counting the days for my return due to their attachment with my ‘way’ of adjusting, technique, and approach. If you were one of these patients, please remember, as I travel in the future to bring you the highest quality care, it is never about the chiropracTOR, it’s about the chiropracTIC. Whether I’m in the office or not, your subluxations need to be removed. Your baby’s subluxations still need to be adjusted. Your chiropractic care needs to continue no matter what. You body requires a healthy functioning nerve system every day of the year!
Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in our office to serve your family. Thank you for making chiropracTIC an absolutely vital part of getting healthy and staying healthy for life.

“TELL ME AND I’LL FORGET. SHOW ME AND I’LL REMEMBER LEAD ME AND I’LL BE TRANSFORMED!”
Traveling throughout New Zealand and Australia over the last 3 weeks has been fascinating. Mindy and I have visited a large amount of the North Island of New Zealand as well as a good ‘chunk’ of Australia, including Queensland (rainforests, The Great Barrier Reef, & a small part of the Outback) and Sydney in New South Wales.
One of the things that I’m always cautious about when traveling is to make sure I know exactly where I’m headed when trying to reach a destination. Whether stopping at a gas station, asking a hotel concierge, or asking any local, I never feel settled with just getting oral/verbal directions. I’m not even satisfied with a map itself. Really, what I strive for, when possible and short of driving the locals mad or risk, at a bare minimum, an irritated look, is for a personal escort or practically hand holding to my destination. I literally ask them to walk me down the street to show exactly where my destination may be. I know it sounds extreme, but I don’t put that much trust in my memory or even a written map of a terrain/city that I know nothing about; even if the street names and numbers are spelled out in perfect English. After I have been lead to the destination, there will never be a problem finding it again. I now know what it takes!
Our health, being much more important than travel, should not only have its own map, but a leader to lead through various landscapes and terrain. Well, the good news is that Yachter Family Chiropractic Center has constructed the map along with phenomenal leaders to guide you to your health summit. There is no guess work. There’s no speculation. There’s no need for frustration, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. We will never let you wander. We will never let you get lost. We will never let you stray off course. We will always show up 100% for you, here to give you all the support and attention that you need. We will literally handhold you until we get to the mountaintop. Whatever it takes to see to it that your family receives the best and heals at their highest level.
The following is the typical trajectory that an exception patient follows at YFCC. This path will take you to the greatest heights imaginable. This strategy will give you the map along with the leaders that will help you overcome the most intimidating struggle or reach the most challenging destination:
*Map 1 patient: Attended doctor’s report/orientation, getting adjusted, doing exercises and stretches, not missing visits, reading newsletters, watching videos. *Map 2 patient: Referring others in, filling out consult cards on a regular basis, bringing people to community dinners, bringing friends and family to the EMO, have attended workshops regularly, have had all family members checked (our clinical research has found that when you help other get well, you will heal faster) *Map 3 patient: Member of run/walk club, member of online membership site, attending special speaker workshops, forwarding e-mails to friends and family around the world, handing out newsletters, listening to radio show, have been evaluated through detox program, attending pot luck dinners/cooking demonstrations, achieving great nerve system/spinal correction. *Map 4 patient: Have filled out a testimonial or performed video testimonial, have been to 6 or more workshops (10%) wellness plan reduction, have been on the radio or infomercial, bringing multiple people to patient appreciation days and sitting with them in the orientation, have invited me to speak to their organization, church, temple, business, school, or club, not vaccinating their children, on weekly conference calls during Extreme Makeover (EMO), Extreme Makeover champion, bringing people to our mall cart to get spinal screening on weekends, EMO sponsor. *Map 5 patient – This patient has been to multiple EMO events (massive health & life transformations by this point), workshops, starting to volunteer at events, have referred up to 30 new patients, these patients are writing their own newsletters, writing letters to their congress people complaining about the medical system and not enough access to chiropractic care, protesting vaccines, e-mailing 10 times/day begging me to work harder, they are leading the run/walk club, these patients are spinal screening for YFCC, regularly referring loved ones to other affiliate offices throughout the world.
Want to get to MAP 5 quickly? Then join us this Wednesday, Sept. 9th @ YFCC at 7pm. for our Swine Flu vaccine workshop. Boost your family’s safety, become self-reliant, & learn to beat the Swine Flu.
