Interesting comment. I'm married to a Chiropractor and
have been astonished at the anti Chiro venom on FR - one of
my favorite web sites.
What's up with that?
But after having a headache for 3 months and being told to "take more tylenol" by my internal medicine dr., I found a chiropractor and got better.
My mom remembers driving a friend to a chiropractor for several trips and then arriving one day to find he'd been arrested for practicing. He was later released and resumed his practice.
I am also struck by the venemous name-calling, despite many positive comments to the contrary by various (brave, imo) Freepers who have been greatly helped through Chiropractic. Way too many have been helped for it to be merely some placebo effect.
Ironically, IIRC, Ronaldus Magnus was a staunch supporter of Chiropractic, having worked at the radio station in Davenport, where he famously announced the football game as if he were present, providing sound effects, etc.
Sadly, I think it's agenda driven.....much like the libs in their lust for power....where agenda trumps reality, truth, and that which is good. And you know we get a whole bunch of calling evil "good", and good "evil", from libs. Human nature.
You won't hear it from me. It is indeed surprising that people don't have respect for treatments that help others improve their health without drugs. We're a "magic bullet" society, always looking for the M.D. to fix us with a pretty pill.
