Dr. Phil, the popular daytime talk show, airs on more than 200 television stations across the U.S. and in more than 40 countries worldwide. The Dr. Phil show has a viewership of nearly 21 million weekly viewers, while online the show has more than two million unique fol-lowers per day. “I’m so glad to have had this opportunity and I’m thrilled that so many people around the world heard about chiroprac-tic and the body’s natural ability to heal,” said Dr. Mancini. “This was a tremendous victory for our profession. There is a movement starting and the time is now to get the message of chiropractic and natural healing to the masses.” Dr. Phil received chiropractic care from Dr. Mancini for years while he lived in the Dallas, Texas area and told viewers, “I got chiropractic treatment from you [Dr. Mancini] two or three times a week.” Dr. Phil explained that Dr. Mancini didn’t just treat his back – which is a common misconception of chiropractic care – but he also helped him with his overall health physically, mentally, and spiritually. He went on to introduce his current chiroprac-tor in Los Angeles, Dr. Patrick DeFazio, a Parker alumnus, who talked more about chiropractic and how it helps relieve stresses on the body. CBS Television Distribution/Petski Productions Dr. Mancini explained the body’s natural ability to heal. “Our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating, so that means that we are already born to heal naturally.” In addition, he expressed the importance of taking control of your health and advised viewers to move their bodies and exercise regularly. “We have to make better choices,” said Dr. Mancini. “Almost 80 per cent of the diseases that we have today are made because of the choices we make on a physical plane.” After the show, numerous people working on the set asked how they could find a local chiropractor or remarked how much they had learned about chiropractic. To celebrate this historic event, Parker University held a watch party on campus for students, faculty, and staff during the airing of the show.
