Subject: RE: BS: chiropractors
I'm sorry you are so closed-minded about chiropractic, Raptor, but I've met it before and I've heard it all before.

My father took six years at Palmer (this was in the Twenties, when you could get an MD degree in about three years or less), and every few years after that he took new courses. Nor was that the total of his education. On a number of occasions I've seen MDs enter a conversation with my father with a sort of contemptuous sneer, only to wind up wide-eyed and amazed at how much he knew about their profession when they knew so little about his. At least one MD started coming to him for regular adjustments. Chronic lower back pain for years. After Dad started fracturing his vertebrae and splintering his ribs for him, he got over it. Took about four months of weekly adjustments, but then he'd had back pain for years. It took a bit to get his lumbar vertebrae to stay where they were supposed to. I could go on for hours, because I was there, but I don't want to bore you.

As Wyrd Sister says, "Crawl in, walk out!"
