This is fantastic!!! I'm glad the word is getting out because Chiropractors are bullsh*t quack scam artists! I work in radiology and deal with these idiots all day. They team up with lawyers and order completely unnecessary imaging studies for car accident litigation. They should NOT be allowed to order diagnostic imaging for unfounded treatments that have only been proven to be harmful if anything. They even answer the phone, "Dr.'s office?" No! Sorry, not even close!
She should see my chiropractor to have her tattoo fixed
What a dumb bitch
So, Chiropractors are claiming they can "cure" every existing ailment known to man, improve your immune system etc.via spinal adjustments.
OK picture this…there are no medical doctors, specialists etc (a chiro's dream). As (hopefully) rational human beings, you're trying to convince the world that using the unscientific teachings of a 19th century con artist, Chiropractors can cure: Multiple sclerosis, Tumors, AIDS, HIV, Cerebral Palsy, COPD, Pneumonia, Cancer (All), Elephantitis, a stroke, heart attacks, Down's Syndrome, Measles (and a special thanks to all our anti-vaxxers, measles made a strong comeback all over the US..where children and adults died….good job guys) mumps. rubella, swine flu, SARS, A plethora of Neurological Disorders and many more known and unknown ailments?
And BTW all these claims are all made without any sound medical research. All based on how do you feel? after an adjustment? No blood tests, CT Scans etc. Many things can make you feel good, but what are the long term positive effects?
Last I checked, there were NO manuals or guidelines that indicated the need for chiropractic adjustments to survive life or prevent illness. What did the cavemen do? Hunt animals with sciatica?
So a chiropractor will try and convince me that I should send my relative(s) or friend who has lower pack pain from pancreatic cancer and that spinal adjustments will what….cure it? Based on what sound medical evidence? Extremely doubtful. Really people?
This is reckless and idiotic. If you want to be convinced that spinal manipulations do very little (not to mention coming at a rate of three times a week for the rest of your life, oh and bring your friends and family) one doesn't have to look any further than people suffering from quadriplegia, In this population the spinal cord is severed to the point where the arms and legs do not work (there might be residual use in the arms, dependent on the level of spinal cord damage C4, C5 etc.), and yet miraculously, the rest of the body functions normally. Bowels, heart, lungs, pancreas intestines, bladder etc. How can this be? Why doesn't the neurologist call the chiropractor? Because it does nothing! It’s BS!
As far as anti-vaccination, in my opinion, people who choose not to vaccinate are safer in the states, because and only because responsible/ unselfish people vaccinated themselves and their children, thereby protecting others in their community. It's called a herd mentality. It is totally opposite for the people who don’t vaccinate. They put children before the age of 12 months in grave danger, by not vaccinating…that’s my definition of selfish. Some of the biggest perpetrators of this misinformation and using it as scare tactics to increase business are…..you guessed it, chiropractors.
BTW, the MD who claimed to have found the link between Autism and MMR vaccination shots lost his medical license for falsifying information in his study, furthermore, as far as I know none of his original his tests results could be reproduced in any number of international studies.
Here's a test for the anti-vaxx chiropractors: Convince a group of 20 women who have given birth to infants within the last five months of your belief that vaccinations are dangerous, unsubstantiated, unnecessary, BS, cause Autism and whatever other harm you believe it causes. ,
Invite all the unvaccinated children and moms for a trip to a part of the world and to a specific village or town where the measles has been identified to run rampant (check with WHO). Stay there for a month or two. . Do not have them sign a “go at your own risk” waiver, because, after all, you believe no harm will come. However you can tell them that if anyone gets infected, you believe adjustments will cure the virus. No one is allowed any medicine, even if infected.
I’m truly curious: If any child died, what would you say to those parents? Would you take responsibility for their death? Would it change your mind about anything? Would you be willing to put your own child's life at risk?
Man, everything she says makes zero sense. And she thinks chiropractors are BS? She hammers on everything, but has nothing to back it up with.
