More Python rip-offs, this time to hopefully raise scientific awareness during homeopathy awareness week:

Yes. Isn’t it sad, however, that the BCA’s members didn’t ask it to remove the unsupported claims from its website?

I suffered from intense, chronic low back pain for 20 years…and tried EVERYTHING short of surgery for relief. On the advice of a friend—and, really, just to shut her up—I had a few sessions with a (Palmer Method) chiropractor that cleared it up; and I have no no trouble since (15 years).

The claims of many chiropractors for curing other illnesses are certainly and obviously bogus…but don’t let that mask the fact that for relieving back pain it can sometimes be the best, most effective treatment.

Yes, back and joint problems are the area where chiropractic actually does have some evidenciary support.

Lars,

I don’t…any chiropractor who talks like that I would shy way from. There are many honest chiropractors who are just as disgusted with the bogus claims as the rest of us are.

But Daffy, how can you trust someone who talk bogus, even if they’re good with their hands?
