"...Jones, a chiropractor himself [stated]The
instructors don't deserve to teach at FSU...
if they're putting their credentials with
people known for promoting professional bigotry."

One has to wonder just what self-benefit Jones is promoting! Getting a chiropractor's "degree" doesn't
take much time or education to acquire. In the 70's
you could get it in 6 months. Quite a few MED SCHOOL
drop outs have gone into that field. Show me a
MED SCHOOL GRADUATE who went on to become a
Chiropractor!

If I had input into this debate I'd vote for a school
of acupuncture rather than chiropracty.

I actually know one who did. He did it so that he could be of some real help.

I can show you a whole state of them. CA require Chiropractors to go to med school before they can become a Chiropractor. I have had my health improved by chiros most of my adult life. I have back problems and shoulder problems and have always been treated well and had the pain go away. I don't personally know any Chiros who think they can cure any illnesses with adjustments, but I know some think so. All the ones I know simply state that they can adjust your joints, not just the back, and make you feel less pain because believe me when your shoulder is out of place you can't do much of anything. If I go to an MD for it they want to immobilize the arm, which will cause it to freeze, and give me drugs but don't want to set the joint. This is stupidity and it costs a heck of a lot more also.

Accredited Chiropractic schools are 6 years + internship. med school is four + internship.
