The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Chiropractic..... Redux

By accident, if you will, I happened across a chiropractic video on YouTube and decided to make a brief posting here.

I 've ranted and raved about chiropractors for years. In fact, many years ago I started another of my go-no-where blogs. Take a look here.

It's simple. This so-called chiropractic stuff was started in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, a grocer, and magnetic healer. And, it's still going on today. It's all baloney and the only thing that's changed since 1895 is that these so-called doctors have added more pseudo-scientific modalities. 

If you do a little research you will find that they, these so-called doctors, may be able to help with lower back pain. And, that's about it. Of course, you could also do nothing and it will go away without any type of intervention. If you're desperate, seek help from an actual doctor...yes, an MD or a physical therapist. They are actually trained in science.


Many, if not most, chiropractors hang their hats on the so-called vertebral subluxations.  Since 1895 they have been adjusting them. Guess what? There is no such thing.

Are chiropractors evil people? Frankly, I doubt many of them are. In fact, I would imagine that most of them feel like what they are doing is beneficial. However, what they do is evil. Taking money from people and giving nothing in return.

Many, if not most chiropractors claim that they, the chiropractors, treat the actual medical problem and claim that real physicians only treat the symptoms. Of course, this is nonsense. Many chiropractors are against vaccinations. While they are telling you-you don't need drugs (prescriptions) they ply you with hundreds-of-dollars worth of supplements that do nothing.

The only thing worse than going to a chiropractor occasionally is using them as your general practitioner or primary care physician.

Well, enough of this. You've been warned!!!!!!!! Watch the videos.
