[B.O. Plenty]

"It should come as no surprise that no major medical institution in this country, public or private, has embraced chiropractic medicine," wrote Dr. Henry Ho,..... which IMHO is short sighted and un-productive. It probably has denied a lot of people relief that a chiropractor could bring. There is a branch of medicine, I believe that borders on chiropractic...they are D.O.'s that have all the priveleges and responsibilities of M.D.'s, but also know manipulation.

What would be useful would be(and I believe ther are beginning to be some) a clinic staffed with good M.D.'s, Chiropractors, nutritionists, and other "healers"..

Dang, now I have stepped in it....healers=witch doctors and shamans....well maybe if the M.D.'s have found no physical or medical problems?....

What say you all?

I'll go to anyone who can fix me, whether or not she waves rattles and is coated in bear grease.

But chiropractors are not on MY approved list, as in no way would I allow anyone with any degree to jerk my bones around. It's too primitive for me.

As long as the nonsense is kept out of the universities and medical schools. One of the best things to happen to our species was the transition of medicine into a science.

There is plenty of medieval spookery in our culture in all aspects of life for people who want it. All I ask is that we at least try to keep medicine clean of it.

I'm open enough to let you have your witchcraft. Please let me have my science.
