So according to your logic, if a practitioner wishes to shake a rattle and dance around the patients' bed as a treatment, then the only reason doctors oppose that treatment is for financial concerns.

Don't be an ass.

This thread is specifically about Chiropractors. I believe they have a long enough track record in the US and a longer one in Europe to be taken as a serious alternative to drugs and or surgery.

See #25. I was young a foolish back then. Once was enough.

I think there would be a difference of opinion about who is being an a**. You made an accusation that physicians oppose chiropractors for financial reasons. I pointed out that physicians would oppose ANY questionable sham treatment, and their objection would be that the treatment is bogus.

The track record you refer to is a record of holding out false hope to victims of a terrible disease resistance to therapy. It is a record of deceiving people in pain, similar to the Medicine Shows of the 19th century. It is a record of collecting money from the desperate, who indeed have been around a long time both in the US and Europe.
