TIL Chiropractic is actually a form of "alternative medicine", where studies have not found evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective and collectively found that spinal manipulation was ineffective at treating any condition.

I honestly think you must have me confused for someone else,

You know, this is entirely possible. I am currently involved in a discussion about race, another about chiropracty, another about the holocasut, and another about the VA's healthcare initiative under trump and how badly he has damaged it.

At this point, here is what I think you said:

Chiropracty is safe enough to offer in some cases and can be beneficial. arguing that it is not safe is not helping people.

Here is what I am saying:

Chiropracty is not safe enough to offer in any but the rarest cases, and then only before the last choice: drugs. And warning people of this is not only helpful, but to their benefit.

if I'm confused, I apologize.

We still have the issue of reading more than the conclusion, but I also tend to read the links given when part of a report, which give added dcepth that can be more helpful. Both are mostly due to my training as a writer.

Anyway, have a nice day. This has turned into a heache for both of us, and is not going to change anything one whit anyway. Thank you pop for helping people. I have spent a lot fo time on various tables for things that happened to me when I was a soldier. Guys like him have kept me alive more than once.
