Chiropractic Chemistry
A starting point
S. J. Burich’s textbook covers inorganic, organic, and physiological chemistry. It illustrates the breadth of early chiropractic coursework, linking basic chemistry with the study of bodily processes.
Burich selects material from general and physiological chemistry for chiropractic students, beginning with the language of symbols, formulas, equations, and chemical tests. The scope extends through inorganic and organic chemistry into subjects such as digestion and blood, connecting basic instruction with bodily processes.
The preface presents the book as the product of teaching experience and a deliberate choice of what students most need to understand. It is useful for seeing the scientific coursework surrounding the philosophy curriculum. Read alongside anatomy and physiology to build a fuller picture of the education represented by the Green Books.
