Why do some chiros get so defensive about this? Car makers don't get defensive about saying, "certain driving techniques cause accidents." It's simply a true statement. The industry isn't going to tumble down just because another truth comes out.

I had a chiropratic stroke last summer at 36 yo. There is a direct link. The naysayers disgust me. There have been many deaths. I feel fortunate to have only lost 6 months of my life, my house and my job. "chiropractic47" is a f'n IDIOT!! Get a real job and a real life you quack.

@chiropractic47 You are correct. Chiropractic is definitely not medicine. Medicine is defined as the art and science of healing. Chiropractic is a belief system. Priests devote much time to their practice, but prayer still can't be scientifically verified to work. And of course, priests don't get sued for failed prayer either.

@Seldona That's correct "Sell Donna", chiropractic is the best and safest ($1500/year malpractice insurance) of the primary health care professions. We are primary care doctors under the Medicare Act and all 50 states. Your jelousy of chiropractic is understandable. I had four MD's in my chiropractic class. They shared this with us and are now Chiropractic Doctors (DC). it's never too late to become a DC. Come join us!

@Blackmark52 Chiropractic is definitely not medicine. Why would the best (DC=5200 classroom hrs vs 4600 hrs= MD) align itsself with medicine; the number one cause of death in North America (745,000 Americans died by medicines hands last year). DC's pay only $1500/yr malpractice whilst MD's pay an average of $75.000/year. Insurance is about risk and claims made.

@chiropractic47

"A chiropractic doctor?" Your not equating yourself with an actual medical doctor, are you? "CHIROPRACTIC first!!!; medicine last !!" is not only misleading, it is likely criminal.

You may have a doctorate degree, but you sure as hell are no 'doctor.'

I can't even rate you in the 'quack' class, because even the worst among quacks have an actual MD. Chiropractic doctor? What a joke.

Do you have a degree in crystal healing as well? Or work with people's 'auras?'

LOL

You are too forgiving of chiropractic47's comments.

IMO, to proclaim "CHIROPRACTIC first!!!; medicine last !!!" is an admission that chiropractic is not medicine. Those who cannot bear scrutiny without lashing out have no respect for evidentiary based medicine. And to even suggest that you should take down your video smacks of censorship and the strong arm tactics chiropractic uses to claim its legitimacy.

BTW: Chiropractic has been found responsible for death in Canadian court.
