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.

Trying to Make Sense of Something that Doesn't Make Sense.... CHIROPRACTIC! And, Chiropractors.

I'm fond of saying, On every street corner you'll find a damn church and a fuckin' chiropractor. Actually, they share a couple of things: they are both essentially useless and of no value and wrap themselves up in their own terms and languages, along with confusing and ridiculous nonsense.

I will only say that chiropractic was dreamed up or invented by a grocer with no medical training in 1895 and present-day chiropractors are still using the same bogus stuff from 1895. Want to learn a little more, here are a couple of links to get you going.


I'm sure some chiropractors are basically nice people. That said, Why the fuck did they become chiropractors?

Good question. It would seem that there are only so many possible answers; I would guess that for one or a combination of the following reasons.


1) They thought chiropractic was an actual method of healing and they thought it was real-doctor like.

2) Wanted to be a real doctor but didn't have the grades or brains.

3) Influenced by someone who they knew who was a chiropractor.

4) For some reason contacted a chiropractic school and were conned into enrolling.

5) They wanted to wear a white coat and be able to call themselves a doctor when they made restaurant reservations.

6) Maybe a few who knew it was a scam and figured it'd be an easy way to make a buck without much work.


Oh, well..... Had planned on writing more, but with all of the other stuff I'm writing about chiropractors, I guess that I'm experiencing chiropractor-overload.

Enough of this.

EDIT: OK, I'm sure there are some (a philosophy professor said, some is one or more) sincere, caring, and dedicated chiropractors out there--hey, they're just blinded by all of the chiropractic bullshit.

EDIT, again: Had planned on commenting how chiropractors branch-out into other bogus treatments such as Reiki, toxin cleansing, and so on. But, just can't come to grips with it now. Also, if they believe bogus treatments work, how do they accomplish that? That is, how do they trick themselves?
