Dr. Greg Furch, a chiropractor with 33 years of practice in Boise, shares his journey from a childhood experience with chiropractic care in North Dakota to founding Furch Family Chiropractic. He recounts a pivotal moment after graduating chiropractic school when he lost a chance to buy a practice in northern Idaho—only to discover a new opportunity in Boise just days later, which he purchased sight unseen. This turn of events, he says, felt like divine guidance. Now running for Idaho’s House District 22 to succeed retiring Rep. John Vandewata, Furch blends his faith, holistic health philosophy, and public service. He critiques pharmaceutical reliance—particularly statins—citing their minimal longevity benefit (3.5 days) versus significant side effects like muscle damage and diabetes. His story is one of trust in providence, resilience, and a deep commitment to natural health and community leadership.
Chiropractors often naturally gravitate toward holistic, drug-free health models due to their foundational philosophy.
Statins extend life by only 3.5 days on average but significantly increase risks of diabetes, dementia, and statin-induced myopathy.
Furch bought his Boise chiropractic practice sight unseen after losing a prior opportunity—calling it a 'divine redirection'.
He plans to serve in Idaho's House District 22, which spans from Victory Road to Hubbard and includes Amity Elementary as a polling site.
Furch emphasizes faith-based decision-making, especially during major life transitions like relocating and launching a career.
