oh, cripes! Machines that cure by electrical impulses are one step before investing in magnets that you wear in your shoes to cure cancer!,....and I knew a nice guy who died trying THAT.

Vaccines STOPPED smallpox, and could stop Polio and several others with a little more care & cooperation between states and other countries.

Every story about a rare, but possible bad reaction to a vaccine leads to 17 rumors and conspiricy theories and people willing to believe that Mango pulp diluted 1,000,000:1 and sold over the WWW is just as good as time-tested vaccines.

I dunno...once a person's head gets set on that path of distrusting 'regular' medicine, it's a slippery-slope...and chiropractic, useful as it can be, is a common place to begin the downward spiral.

Good luck!
