Still more academically rigorous than Sociology.
*snicker*
Ha! A flavored enema franchise.
I find it truly bizarre that a university would actually oppose the potential expansion of alumni donors and graduates.
you could get it in 6 months.
Accredited Chiropractic schools are 6 years + internship. med school is four + internship.
Oh this is nothing. You should have seen the flaming I got on an eco-Nazi thread about a week ago!
Wow! Now that's low.
I never thought of the body shop-lawyer-chiro triangle.
I'm sure insurance companies would be glad to investigate them.
MDs would much rather cut you open or give you a permanent prescription to a patented drug, for which they get a disguised (just enough to keep it from being illegal) kickback from the drug company.
The only thing that bothers me about Chiropractors is that many of them, instead of just treating your immeditate problem, want to take an X-Ray of your back and enroll you in a never-ending regimen of spinal realignment or some such scam.
Completely bogus. Chiropractic requires a HS degree + chiropractic school.
Medical doctor = 4 years pre-med college + 4 years med school + 1 year Internship + 3 years residency + Board Certification exam + Re-certification exam every 10 years!
clothing optional.
Hers or yours???
Seriously though these things spread amebiasis (fatal amoeba infections which kill the liver).
"The only answer the MDs could provide was anit-depresants and pain killers. They never wanted to consider the source of my problems and ignored what I was trying to tell them."
Exactly. The first few times I had spasms, I ended up in Emergency Rooms because I had no idea what was going on, either. I was always, always hale and hardy; no sickness or injury other than a common cold and one bout of flu in my entire adult life.
I remember walking out of Emergency (after being carried in by my DH, as I could not walk on my own) after being pumped full of Demerol, and thinking, "This feels nice, but I really shouldn't be walking, and shouldn't I be able to feel my legs?"
I finally listened to my Mother and got myself to a Chiropractor. I now have bad episodes maybe once a year, tops, and it's usually my own fault (as you said) because I didn't listen to my body!
Ah...didn't know that but it makes sense.
I've never had colonic irrigation done. Most colon therapists use the same tools as tattoo artists which is to say single use sterilized equipment. If you visit someone with questionable qualifications sure you can get something nasty. There was a guy arrested once for performing weird exams on women. I wonder if he did colonics too! LOL
This is incorrect. There are many recent advances in technology that allow the Chiro to look at a person's atlas from every angle. Many Chiros have advanced engineering degrees and are published in medical journals.
You bias is showing.
Nothing personal doc but this whole post is completely darwinian. I will bet that in your little cliche there can be good and bad astrologers. One just needs to find a reputable astrologer.
I too used to refer patients to a chiropractor once I was sure there was nothing organic. It kept the chronic pain
head cases out of the office. The only warning is KEEP THEM
AWAY FROM YOUR NECK.
Nothing personal, just an observation based on what you have said.
