Long before Bill Witte put his research and ideas together to form the Vital Life Community Concept, and long before Vital Life was introduced to A. T. Still University, there was A. T. Still, himself. Known as the father of Osteopathic Medicine, A. T. Still was someone who was dissatisfied with the general use of drug prescriptions in medical care, as well as the ineffectiveness of many of the treatments. It was his notion that the body heals itself; drugs don’t heal us. Bill Witte has studied the principals taught by A. T. Still and other revolutionary thinkers, and many of those teachings compose the skeleton of the Vital Life Community principals. The Vital Life Community Concept centers around what Bill believes are the 8 components of the “well” person. Here is a photo of Bill recently taken at the grave of A. T. Still.
