@chiropractic47 Simon Singh Wins Landmark Libel Ruling!

[ospreylookout]

@chiropractic47 What happened to the BCA Seth?  Looks like sunlight exposed the bs for what it was!

@chiropractic47

The argument-from-authority isn't worth squat. There's no evidence to support chiro diagnoses or treatments. It's all pseudoscience. Anecdotal evidence and testimonials don't count. If you want to bend people like pretzels to treat back pain -- go ahead. But don't pretend to make physiological calls. It's fraud and quackery.

Wow! You've really got your A-game bullshit going on tonight!

That is genuinely libelous! I would sue you but it appears that the UK libel system is broken!

Never mind ey! ;)

@chiropractic47

It took me 10 seconds to find an association.

@chiropractic47

I know an exterminator with a similar record.

dudev, we understand your allegations are a means to bolster an already weakened ID, and its subconciously desire to be a DC. Please don't fret, I will sponsor you to attend chiropractic school. First you must complete a bachelors degree with a major concentration in the advanced sciences. Then you must make application to chiropractic school. Hey! I have an idea! Google "Dr. Bruley (MD) goes to chiropractic school". I'm sure this wonderful MD to DC story will enlighten you. Yours in health....

I did check out "alternative" and it doesn't show up in any of the major chiropractic associations ex.: ACA and ICA, etc. Your move....

[chiropractic47]

dudev, sorry dude. Doctors of chiropractic are primary portal of entry doctors and are licensed to perform differential diagnosis and thus render a diagnosis on any part or region of the body...muscles, kidneys, heart, etc. Check this fact out for yourself, your a licensed skeptic.

dudev, You "...pity my patients"? Then you'll have to come up with approx. 10,000 people to feel pity for. LOL.
