cool video of explaining how to find any misaligned parts of the spine.....

do you have any videos where the doctor cracks the back?

You're both wrong.

Scientology = SCAM.

Scientology tends to recruit chiropractors because of their anti-psychiatry hatred. Does that mean chiropractic is necessarily a scam?  Nope. But the true scam is Scientology, who blackmailed the IRS into getting tax exempt status, and whose leader physically abuses his staff.

@ospreylook You are totally right. All you have to do to cure back pain and sickness is to prescribe drugs with loads of side effects and health risks. I don't need to go to 8 years of Drug Dealing school, to learn how to associate symptoms with a flow chart in a hand book. I can already read.

@ospreylookout Only 15% of medicine has been proven to have a valid basis.

Open: I don't assert that chiro is a scam based on any affiliation or comparison to any other group. I think it is a scam because it is based on unscientific, unproven theories and that there is not evidence in the research literature that conclusively shows chiro to be better than placebo.

[ospreylookout]

roy: What is the "current" literature that you refer to? Can you provide a searchable citation for the peer-reviewed journal article that supports chiro?

[ospreylookout]

drmarisen: What is the logic that allows you to infer that I am not "health enlightened"? Simply because I am critical of any profession that makes unsubstantiated claims and refuses to acknowledge that it must provide a scientific basis if it is to be taken seriously, does not translate to my enlightenment. Try out a dose of "healthy" skepticism instead of promoting snake-oil to the unsuspecting and otherwise gullible? How about just being honest?

[ospreylookout]

drmarisan: Fuzzy logic as you choose to use, regardless of the motives of pharma, that does not legitimize chiro by default. There is precious little to no evidence that supports chiro as a stand alone modality. Your so-called "vitalism" and "subluxation" are not grounded in anatomy or physiology of the 21st Century. Chiro is a cult, based on no scientific data that supports its claims.
