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.

A Bizarre Perfect Storm Kind of Event, Chiropractic Meets Energy Healing....

First off, no I surely do not think what I'm writing about in 
this post is funny. Far from it.

That said, when all of our states license these people and allow them to parade around in white coats and call themselves doctors, some of this is bound to happen. (And, yes, I know that real doctors sometimes do these things.)


For those of you who don't know, chiropractic was dreamed up by a grocer in 1895. Yes, someone with no medical training. And, little has changed except the chiropractors just keep adding to their arsenal of pseudoscientific BS.

The fellow this posting is about is set for trial in Virginia Beach in a month or so. His license was revoked in April 2017 and since then there have been a bunch of continuations and so on. As I best remember, the charge is misdemeanor sexual assault.

The perfect storm? The information at the board of medicine, states one patient said that he had his hand on or near, you know where. The chiropractor responded to the Board by saying he was performing Reiki. Ahh, Reiki and chiropractic, what a combination.

I'm sure no one is going to respond to this. And, on the off chance that someone thinks chiropractic or Reiki works...hey, spend a little time and learn how bogus inert treatments may seem to work, but alas, they do not. Remember, chiropractors are still adjusting vertebral subluxations, invented if you will by DD Palmer in 1895! Folks, there is no such thing.

Suppose your PCP or GP's education stopped in 1895? Hmm.
