COVID Did Not Panic Chiropractors. Why Not?

If you have been troubled by the rapidly declining claims for the efficacy of the COVID vaccines and boosters or by the rapidly rising reports of problems with the vaccines and the boosters, you might be interested to know how it came about that COVID did not panic chiropractors. It's a fascinating story, and I was privileged to learn it firsthand.

I enrolled in chiropractic college just in time to get a powerful lesson in one chapter of that amazing story. A contingent of students who had completely recovered from childhood polio under chiropractic care enrolled around the same time I did. They were in my class and in classes before and after my class. To hear their stories of what chiropractic adjustments had done for them became part of my chiropractic education. They helped me in another way, too: their conviction about the power of chiropractic adjustments helped me make the transition from a student to a doctor capable of meeting the enormous challenges of chiropractic practice. They were inspired and determined to be great chiropractors, and they inspired me, too.

The old-timers, just then passing out of the profession, had similar tales about an earlier epidemic. Chiropractic, officially born in 1895, was still very new, and there were few chiropractors when the Spanish Flu hit in 1918. But chiropractic adjustments worked for victims of the Spanish Flu just as they were later to do for polio victims. Medicine had little to offer, so people tried chiropractic, and those who did spread the word.

This is when political medicine discovered chiropractic and set out to strangle it in the crib. You have not read about chiropractic and polio, and you won't read about chiropractic and the Spanish Flu elsewhere, either, but I learned about it, as we say,

Very interesting article. Hard to evaluate its significance, but the underlying sentiment makes sense.

I’ve been to chiropractors, but they didn’t seem to be anywhere near as remarkable as this one.

Because Chiropractors are Not real Doctors.

Unless they’re on SubStack or BitChute.
Then they become Bioengineers.

I go to the Chiropractor all the time. Does wonders for arthritis, but for Covid, that seams a bit out there.

ours didn't either, until the comunistwelth of Virginia classified them as medical professionals. Then masks were required. I didn't go back for a several months after that, on only wore a mask in the lobby if others were in there. The Dr's didn't care if I did or not.

I do know that my parents would take us kids for an adjustment when we were little and had chest colds to “ break it loose “ and it seemed to work.

Nonsense

IF this were true then people using chiropractic would never get any disease

I’m a fan of chiropractic. It does some things when properly practiced

The chiropractors that I’ve gone to also work with supplements. It is because of a chiropractor, that I started taking vitamin D3 years ago. When the plandemic came along, I was not deficient in vitamin D like so many people are. I got the Covid symptoms twice but was never sick enough to call my primary care physician or get a questionable test.

I credit a daily multivitamin with keeping my COVID bout short and mild.

Because they are not considered 'real' doctors.

If you get a good one, your health will improve. I had great relief from chronic, severe pain, with an excellent chiro. My MD had told me the pain was old age and normal, and I’m only 60. I think chiros are more concerned with the overall picture, diet, etc and can’t reach for a prescription pad to solve a problem. Btw this was my 3rd try at a different chiro, this guy does the really gentle adjustment, not the near death crunching.

My doc lied to me about everything CoupFlu.

If that’s the standard for a real doc now, I’m self-identifying as a cat and calling my vet.
