The Dangers of Chiropractic

Logical errors:
Vitamins and natural supplements are also drugs - they interact with our bodies chemistry but less effectively than pharma drugs. They also contain more contaminants and are less accurate in the quantity of active ingredients than pharma drugs. BTW most herbal supplements are produced by "big pharma".
"She doesn't believe in them" - How can you trust someone who places belief/faith before evidence? So what if "she doesn't believe in them" the proof that they work is undeniable given the doubling of the average human's lifespan over the past century that just happens to coincide with modern scientific medicine.

Mark,
While there is no doubt there are drugs that save lives, just as you stated. But there are countless more injuries and deaths from drugs during the same period. Human beings are Big Pharma's lab rats--always have been. Some rats do well, others die. Bottom line--taking medications with significant side effects is slightly better odds than a game of Russian Roulette. If someone is criticaly ill and is likely to die anyway, then I'm all for giving them drugs.

ha ha Only a dumb ass chiropractor would say that drugs do more harm than good.

I work in critical care mr. chiropractor, which drugs, commonly used in critical care do more harm than good. I'd love for a "chiropractor" to enlighten me on this one.

Granted, chiropractor get no training in medicine, nor do they get any actual clinical training in examining, diagnosing or treating truly sick patients, but I'm willing to hear which drugs are doing "more harm than good".

I need a good laugh.

LMT, "Hypoxic and low CO2"? There is much more involved in evaluating this patient before treating him.

The complete ABG results for one,(how hypoxic?, is he compensating or not, etc etc). A full clinical evaluation for another. For sure, I will not be debating critical care with you.

I will however, continue to expose chiropractic quackery at every turn. Wash boy has exposed himself and many other chiropractors as outright frauds. And it has been my pleasure at exposing him.

Wisdom (who has ZERO credentials) is slighty less than Scott Haldeman's afterbirth.
Dr. Scott Haldeman, DC, MD, Phd has REAL degrees and is recognized as the real chiropractic expert, having been published in peer review (both chiropractic and medical) journals. Wisdom, who has NO professional degrees, is a fake. Period.
Wisdom would be lucky to do Haldeman's laundry. The only place wisdom was ever published is here--some expert. ah hahahahahah

Hey washboy, I see that activator has a new holster out. Maybe you should look into it.

You dumb ass.

I would never go to a chiropracter that offers chiropracty and massage together. He messes you up and then his wife trys to massage his mistakes away.

ha ha ha! Another 'expert' professional post by wisdom. This time the expert says "dumb ass". Just like a true professional.
See, Dr. Scott Haldeman, DC, MD, Phd has REAL degrees, unlike the fraud wisdom. See, Dr. Haldeman has been published in HUNDREDS of peer reviewed chiropractic and medical journals, including JAMA.
Oh, one more time, where has wisdom been published? Again please? Can't hear you. Oh, he HASN'T been published? Thought so! Some expert. Oh wait, he was self published HERE! Right here on TOPIX! Hey, that's good enough for HIS peers! AHHHHHHHHHHH HA AH AH AHA HA HA H HA AH HAA H. FRAAAAAAAAUUUUDDDD!!!

There is no proof that Chiropracty has any real lasting benefits. There are studies that say it may actually make your condition worse over time.

Brilliant. You must have read one of 'wisdom's' published studies. he he he
No lasting effects. Spoken like an uneducated dolt. What are lasting effects? A day? A week? For what condition? Idiot.
Diabetics have to take medication EVERY day, so I guess one dose of insulin has no lasting effect. Oh well, I guess insulin doesn't work. Moron.
Hey, go read more of 'wisdom's' fictitious articles he published in fictitious journals which are as phoney as his fictitious degrees.

So you know nothing about the carbonic acid - bicarbonate mechanism, you don't recognize the designation of pCO2, and you STILL make the outrageous claim that you are a Critical Care MD?

Terrific article. State and federal law makers should take some time to review the chiropractic enterprise. Quackery must be eliminated.
The chiropractic diaper needs to be emptied.

I agree...the laws should be reviewed and quacks eliminated!

he he Hey scneium, I'm glad wisdom found another bedfellow---you! You deserve each other. Both no nothing quacks.
You want a true chiropractic expert, and not a fake like wisdom? Then look up Dr. Scott Haldeman, DC, MD, PHd. He is a peer reviewed (both DC and MD) published scholar, author, practitioner, and professor. Wisdom? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HA HA AH HA AH Well, wisdom is a published author alright--he self publishes here on TOPIX using words like diaper, dumb ass, and idiots. he he he he Wow, that's the mark of a true professional! he he he he
Wisdom would be lucky to do Dr. Haldeman's laundry and shine his shoes.
Again, Dr. Scott Haldeman, DC, MD, Phd is a noted spine specialist and is a huge supporter of chiropractic and chiropractic techniques. Oh, but listen to wisdom who has NO professional degrees, NO peer reviewed published articles or books. Yeah, listen to wisdom who is just a jealous angry little man who has the respect of no one and bangs the chirotalk bible as his god. Remember, chirotalk is the loser's water cooler where wisdom and other losers gather to gulp in large quantities. ha ha ha ha! OWNED!!!!!!!!

Geode, you are right on the mark.

Chiropractors use all sorts of bizarre treatments, none of which have been riven effective.

Some f the mot widely used chiro treatments are known as AK, activator, nucca, sot, network and dnft. None have any research supporting these quacks from using them as they do.

A full investigation needs to be done. Quacks like washboy, who claims that he can cure deep wounds among other significant conditions, need to be prosecuted.

Chirotalk, for all your chiropractic answers. See why chirotalk is so hated by mainstream chiroquacks.

Earth boy, I am not here to debate medicine with you.

This is a chiropractic blog. I am an expert on chiropractic matters. Do you know anything about chiropractic? If not, keep reading.

Wisdom would be lucky to wash Dr. Scott Haldeman's socks! he he he OWNAGE!!! BIIIIIG TIME!!!
