Dr. Roger Vail Powell was born in Swakopmund, South West Africa on March 2, 1950. He has always had a love of nature and animals and during his childhood did much to help injured animals and birds. It was his intention, at one time, to pursue a career in veterinary science. However, after he saw his mother taken from a deathbed back to the tennis court by a chiropractor, he changed his mind. In March 1973, he graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport Iowa USA as a doctor of chiropractic. Since then, he has practiced in the Republic of South Africa. Unhappy with the way in which his mother had been bullied by the medical profession her whole life and seeing the same happening to many others, he embarked on a mission to free the world from the scourge that is organized medicine. His book, The Crime of Curing, is destined to change the way we see medicine and other health-care disciplines. Dr. Powell exposes the good the bad and the ugly of them all. He maintains that health comes from within the body, not out of a bottle or syringe and that the words of Hippocrates make sense. His YouTube channel does much to convince even the most ardent skeptic that chiropractic works, and that this is the reason it is so hated by the enemies of true health. Hippocrates did say, “In case of illness, look first to the spine and not to medicaments” and “Physician heal thyself.”
