Do you talk to people like this in real life?

Have many friends?

Howie ,Howie, Howie,
You really are hilarious, that was one entertaining post as usual.
Nothing personal but I think your reason has been developing in sour
cream for the last 20 years or so. Your sterotype of the Chiropractic
profession is what is lame. It may be true for a small portion of the
profession, but not for the majority.I am sorry you have such a
despicable point of view. I hate to tell you this Howie but the
Chiropractic profession is growing and gaining more and more
acceptance and support every day. That is why people like you feel the
need to attack. You obviously feel threatened. Chiropractors(Howie did
you get that spelling, I wouldn't feel right letting you continue to
make the same spelling errors in your posts.)are also not swayed by
outside interests like the medical profession.(ie- drug companies,
kickbacks etc.)
Howie you are hanging on to a drowning ship, and that is why you are
so frightened. My heart goes out to you buddy.Take some zoloft and
have good one!

Maybe when the drug reps stop at his office with their gourmet
catered lunches, free toys, and other such "perks" (all of which
contribute to the exorbant cost of prescription Rx), the rep can bring
some Zoloft samples. Maybe some Thorazine too.

Your attempts to validate chiropractic by projecting fear, envy, threat,
whatever..are pathetically transparent, sport. Clearly you are running out
of tools to defend a "profession" that is generally composed of charlatans
hawking bogus nostrums to the desperate and unwary.

By all means, keep flailing away in this thread, but it should be apparent
to you that no one is buying it, except maybe David, and he's,
well....David. His verbal tool box is even more empty than yours. He doesn't
even try to argue, just resorts to name calling...a tactic I see you are on
the verge of as you run out of gas here.

We don't need usenet posts to validate chiropractic, howie.
We have plenty of (peer reviewed, index medicus) research to do that.
There are more chiropractors today ( 65,000 in the U.S. alone) than
ever before. And more people are going to chiropractors than ever
before.

The M.D.'s don't like it. Because they realize that every
dollar that goes into our pockets, is one less dollar that they
could've had. In other words, they're losing market share to us, and
they don't like it.

It's the reason why the AMA practiced an illegal campaign to
"contain and eliminate chiropractic".

It's the reason why Stephen Barrett and his croonies are
continuing to try and smear chiropractic's good name.

It's the reason why MR. McCollister has his panties all
twisted.

It's called economic self-protectionism, folks. Plain and
simple. Today, people are getting more and more sick of the pills,
potions and powders approach to allopathic care. They're tired of
paying incredible prices for drugs - most of which fail to work, and
do little more than mask symptoms without going after the true CAUSE
of the problem).

If you want to look at the profession that is composed of
charlatans hawking bogus nostrums to the desperate and unwary, talk to
your doctor to see if allopathy is right for you. Heh.

Yep, money is what it's all about. Chiropractic is really nothing more
than a scam to separate idiots from their money.

No, that would be Big Pharma.

Hope that helped.

I am not trying to project anything, you are proving your ignorance
and fear over and over again on this board. And I will not run out of
gas or resort to name calling, I might name call your beliefs and
ideas but you are obviously a human being(I hope...). I do think it
interesting that people attack each personally because of their
beliefs on this board because I thought we were all healers here.We
all disagree about each others methods.You use science as your sword,
yet I could present you with a million scientific studies proving
Chiropractic, Acupunctue, Hypnosis, Energetic Techniques, Whatever...
and you would still disagree because of your beliefs. Howie you are a
master at blowing verbal smoke screens and you don't like to try to
understand other people's opinions or point of views. They could be
valid and you would invalidate them because of your beliefs. That in a
nutshell is fear. You also Stereotype a whole healing profession as
charlatans which is ludicrus and illogical.You are attacking
individuals because of there profession. Do you do the same thing to
people of different races and religions ? If so then all of your
arguments become invalid because of prejudice. Howie I don't mean to
pick on you because there are many other Angry individuals of the
Allopathic persuasion who also post cheap shots here. I do not Think
most Chiropractors think of themselves as physcians anyways or want to
for that matter. Not all Chiropractors believe Subluxations are the
panacea or cure either.I think there are so many hot posts because
some of medics think Chiropractors are treading on their Turf when
they use the term physcian. You included.

How dare you post such eloquent truth in the usenet?

You're also being taken advantage of when you do any other
type of preventive wellness care - from dentistry to working out at
the gym.

Come to think of it...my doctor wants me to come back every year for a
check

What a charlatan. Don't you know that the only time you
should see a doctor is when you're on the verge of death? Heh.




The thread's pretty much done, sport. The answer was "NO".

Have a good time in there by yourself. Just turn off the lights when you're

IOW, the mysterious and elusive subluxation(tm). Which, I note, you claim
to be able to adjust away. You are what you despise.

Yes, wait until your condition is so bad that nothing can save you from
death.

into believing that their methods ALONE are the only way to help
people.

Here's some food for thought for YOU, sport. My profession
was built upon a medical failure. People come to ME, because you
FAILED to get them well and keep them well. I know that doesn't sit
well with you. Sorry. But the truth hurts sometimes.

Have a good time in there by yourself. Just turn off the lights when

You appear to be very accustomed being in the dark.

Would you ever trust an M.D. who was so lacking in
professionalism that he blindly bashed an entire profession - and
without any real knowledge beforehand? Would you agree that this
type of behavior could very well transfer to his clinical practice?

Scary stuff.
