“It’s not your job to shove your beliefs down others’ throats just because they? may have beliefs that are not rooted in science.”

It’s not even a matter of having beliefs rooted in science or not. YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT CHIROPRACTIC BELIEFS REALLY ARE! You don’t even have 5 minutes to read about it.

And your continued ignorance of chiropracty’s invalidity allows them to keep an air of validity which will continue to cause harm to people that use them, and to real medicine.

I’m not trying to sell you salvation for the low, low cost of tons of your money. I’m trying to give you real, verified, scientific evidence about it’s efficacy and to protect your mother from REAL potential harm. I don’t gain from this in any way. I’m not selling you religion and taking your money for a promise of salvation.

“Ten minutes after visiting her chiropractor for headaches & back pain, she found herself crumpled & paralyzed in her SUV. She had been given a stroke.”

“She attended a chiropractor for backache. X-ray taken, and cancer of the vertebral body was missed. Subsequent manipulation caused major fracture which required 3-level fusion to fix and resulted in chronic pain.”

See the problem yet?

“He was taken by his parents to a chiropractor, who manipulated his back, but failed to notice he had a spinal cord tumor. His was left paralyzed.”

There is only one set of data and all of it says that chiropracty hurts people.

Even if it was placebo, though it’s not, if placebo work what’s the problem?
Studies aren’t gonna just appear after the crucifixion of some great scientist that tried to prove it.
Everybody avoids this like people avoid discussions of african-americans and jews.

And to prove you look stupid, any monkey with an IQ between 90-100 can make sarcastic remarks about religion.
Get a life!

diseases are missed quite oftenly when people don’t see the right doctor. People die from kidney failure while getting checked at a heart doctor for hipertension…

So your argument bites wind.

Seriously, I’m not having a go at you but you should check out ‘Chirobase’. Not only is chiropractic largely based on pseudoscience but it’s a really stupid career move, unless you really like being in debt! If you really want to improve people’s health outcomes chiropracty is a waste of time. But if you want to give over-priced, potentially dangerous back-rubs to peopl: keep it up!

It bites wind that “adjustments” end up in paralysis, fractures, and/or strokes?

How is that not a good argument? Would you like links to the articles about the neck “adjustments” that ended in paralysis and death?
