Let's talk about Buttered Sausage
The turmoil likely has to do with the Flexner report, funded by Carnegie and Rockefeller in the early 1900's.
It was an effective strategy to capture medical colleges, re-writing curriculums and standards to propagate their new patentable pharmaceutical medicine program.
Considering chiropractic has endured that pressure and is still very popular, seems like they might be on to something.
It's hard for people that go to medical school to be open minded about it because a huge part of their life was invested in a system built on usurping perceived ownership over human health, when a lot of the time they just wanted to help people.
Nah, it's the paralyzed people I've taken care of that turned me off from chiropractic care. The bone cancer that kept getting "adjusted" for weeks. The vertebral artery dissections.... all things I've seen personally in the last 10 years that chiropractors insist never happen. Nobody in medicine is looking for more work, we'd happily spread the patients around, just not to quacks.
Their field is built on fraudulent claims, and if that was the worst you could say about it, so be it, let them do their thing. But instead they do harm, prevent people from getting care that might benefit them, and make your health insurance more expensive.
I tell everyone the same thing when chiropractic care comes up. If you want to get better, go to a physical therapist. If you want to briefly feel better, go get a massage. To the extent they have made you feel better, it's been a combination of placebo that is greatly magnified when physical touch is involved, and standard rehab exercises that have nothing to do with chiropractic care and can be obtained somewhere else without the quackery attached.

Edit: the notion that medicine as a field feels threatened by chiropractic care and that's where the hate comes from is absurd. Why doesn't medicine go after pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dieticians, clinical psychologists, optometrists, audiologists, dentists, podiatrists, etc? We refer patients to these people all the time. You really think chiropractors offer some unique threat to medical practice that all of those others don't and that's why doctors speak out against them? Come on......
In the supplement world, people who don’t want to work search for everything to help them do that and the people that do want to work are searching for every advantage they can get.
It’s like selling water to the dehydrated. The bodybuilding world runs on this kind of stuff.

Although tragic, I'm sure injuries from chiropractic care are a drop in the bucket compared to pharma medicine injuries. Wasn't there some popular pharma treatment a few years ago that caused a few people to have blood clots and myocarditis?
Oh hell yeah, I personally won't take anything that hasn't been on the market for several years, especially not regularly. The whole drug approval process is insane and corrupt. The difference between meds and chiropractic care is there's a benefit that can be found with pharmaceuticals. Big pharma does a lot of bad but also a lot of good in ways that can't be replaced in some other way. I want them to do better but it wouldn't be a net gain if they disappeared tomorrow. It would be a net gain if chiropractors went out of business tomorrow. Any good they do can be easily replaced.
We'll have to disagree on that. I've observed many profound improvements with people and animals through chiropractic treatment.
*But, (I'm sure you've seen this in your profession too) the skill and strategy of the practitioner is important.
Recent example from my world. Lot of people on blood thinners. Sometimes they need to be reversed quickly to save a life. Andexxa was the hottest new thing a few years ago for reversal. Went through "accelerated approval." $25,000-50,000 per use but we were all told it was better than the thing before it. Message from hospital was use it if you need to but also you know it's really expensive.......
It was pulled from the market last month after data from few years of use showed increased fatal blood clotting and it was denied full approval. Back to using the thing we were using before.
There are a lot of desperate people in the world looking for something, anything to help them. I have someone very close to me who has many health issues that there aren’t solutions for. She goes down the path of weird things all the time and I use to really take issue with it because I felt like she was being taken advantage of and scammed. But, I’ve learned to try to be more understanding. As long as it isn’t expensive and she can’t easily afford it, at least it gives her hope. I do still take great issue with these companies selling crystals or whatever crap that does nothing and the quacks or spread the false information.
hahahahah Love a profession that started with a ghost giving business advice
Well… the wellness grifters are in the currently half demolished white house so it’s only gonna get worse.
Cool 😎
" I can't thank my sponsors... "
Didn’t Brocks Polerizer allow you (require?) to run bizarrely low tire pressures?
I remember many comments back in the day - “He’s only got one oar in the water…”
Instead of getting slapped by your mom into last week you can now get punted by Friese to a new dimension. 🤣
What happened to no politics or religion in the moto section? Way too many liberals spouting out as of late. Or is that only if the politics and religion goes against the big guy of the form?
So you'd be fine if it was the righties spouting off, yeah?
You're the reason it's not allowed.
By the way, I'm sure you're going to lump me in to the side you already brought up, but you couldn't be further from correct if you do ✌🏼️
I have moderate to severe scoliosis, and I went to Chiro for many years. He was pretty legit as far as Chiros go, but he still did the cracky backy shit. The only thing I ever really gained from going to him was a big table he had that he would strap me to, then it would pull my legs and basically stretch me out. He did X-rays cheap too.
After I learned how fake it all is, and I got an inversion table. There was no reason for me to go back.
No I’m saying none should be allowed. But it’s constant liberal bullshit.
I’m the reason it’s not aloud? I just called a spade a spade. I didn’t start the political debate nor did I get deeper into it. Simple reading comprehension could do you wonders before you try to get all PC.
Pit Row
Yeah traction equipment is great if used properly so is an inversion table. Not speaking as a professional just from personal experience.
Ok man, whatever you say. My only point is you had to add the part about the liberals. To me that's just adding to it. Saying no politics or religion is a legitimate point with nothing else added.
I actually agree with you lol
Yeah it woulda been more mature not to add it. But, it’s all the topics go to know a days and only in one direction… as you can see on the downvotes I got. New rules should be posted “no politics or religion except for far left views”.
User-specific data —such as name, birth date, and birth location— is entered into the Quantum Upgrade system to define a person’s unique informational signature. These parameters function as a coordinate set within an informational field topology, allowing the system to generate a precise resonance pattern associated with that individual.
The device encodes this pattern as a target-specific vector, enabling the coherence field to attune exclusively to the person whose signature has been provided.

Well it looks like Motoconcepts is sponsored by em too. At Anaheim 2 they were pitted in the furthest far back corner in the furthest privateer section. I just noticed they have the same Quantum logo on their trailer. No more semi truck.
What about green nail polish
Don’t think they have a full time sx outfit anymore. Thought it was mainly ax and certain sx events.
I honestly didn't know they were doing SX at all before I saw their set up.
Literal wellness grifter ARE in the White House. It’s not a political statement it’s a factual statement.
Why such a big emotional response?
This is a thread about a grifting wellness company, do you want to avoid wellness grifters? Or just specific wellness grifters that are now in a position to allow, encourage and incentivize more grifterssss…
🤡
Since you brought it up I just want you to know:
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,
And whose sins have been covered.
“Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.”
I'm actually curious, who is the wellness grifter in the white house? Who do you have in mind and what is the grift? I'm not aware of this and I'm pretty keen on health stuff.
