[quote]The article is the story of an atheist's conversion...that science proved the existence of God to him. "So why has Flew changed his mind? The main reason, he says, is recent scientific work on the origin of life which he believes points to the activity of a “creative Intelligence”. As he explained to the 2004 symposium at which he announced his new beliefs to the world, his change of heart was “almost entirely because of the DNA investigations”.<br

[quote]Bad doctor or bad situation... many of them would just adjust you, however if the risk IS severe and you DO go to a chiropracter and he adjusts you than it COULD pop it back into place, or it could paralize you. In fact every chiropracter in the states i have seen INSISTED to take X-ray first and say that they refuse to touch patients where it seems "risky"... So if your all the real doctors say you can't, most likely the chiropracter will not do so either (or will and paralize you)...

For the record though - I tend to listen to my mother when she gives me advice.In fact, I often seek her advice, as well as advice from other elder individuals I know. Still, she knows that I really like my independance and knows full well that I understand and have accepted that I get to face the consequences of my actions, and so on. ~Alderic

[quote]oh yes, so many people die from not receiving chiropractic treatment... why just last wednesday a man died from cancer that was curable with chiropractic adjustment. (note, at least that is what most chiropracters claim)[/quote] Likewise any other doctor can say the same thing. My experience with chiropractors has been simple: You've got a back/neck, et al. problem? We'll do what we can to fix it; if not, we'll refer you to someone who can. <p

[quote]Why not have the government tax everyone some more to fund a national massage program... ofcourse then massages are allocated based on "need", special interest, race, sex, city you live in, etc...[/quote] I would think that would be considered a luxury, not an essential to live. The government chooses to see a chiropractor as essential, under the guise of health. ~Alderic

[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" reply="15" id="2132410"] Here is an article I found interesting. Yes, it is. What did you find interesting about it? What spoke to you about this? Just curious. Yesterday, my husband and my son both unaware of each other doing it, sent me a Newsweek article called "The End of Christian America" by Jon Meacham. I thought that was pretty interesting but I'm not surprised. Anyone here on JU who has conve

You're not going to believe this one........or maybe you should the way things have been progressing in government these days. When the bill came up for a vote, it was rejected with the idea that perverts would take advantage of this law. Well that didn't last. I guess the Speaker of the House put on a grand ol' speech dripping with emotion and they decided to re-vote.&nbsp

[quote]They better not be covered, we don't need to waste any MORE taxpayer money.[/quote] So you don't believe that a chiropractor should be covered because you don't consider it real medicine?

And with a bit of training you can learn to pop your own joins, but its just as bad as when a chiro does it for you.[/quote] I disagree. Like I've mentioned previo

[quote]Wow a liberal cat fight over chiropractors. Here's a thought, once Obama gets his national health care in place, you won't have to worry about chiropractors, I'm sure they won't be covered. You'll have to spring for that on your own dime. The waiting lines will be full enough with hypochondriac's getting their "fair share" of treatment, to bog it down further. The projected cost to the tax payer is enough to induce illness. [/quote] Cat fight? Please, far

[quote]They don't have an M.D. after their name. That's what I'm concerned about. They can straighten a spine, sure...but there are a lot of quirky philosophies they have and claims aside from just lining up your bones. There is no conclusive evidence that it's actually useful for anything. It's a stone's throw away from hocus pocus like homeopathy in my opinion. The only thing they can do is make your back feel a bit better, and even that may be placebo. Let's just say I have a healthy

[quote]chiropracters only made things worse for me, plus I know more about medicine then any chiropracter i have seen to date. They adjust healthy individuals, children (soft bones, don't need adjustment), they claim it cures everything from cold to cancer (only thing it can cure is nerve pinching... and thats a big if, my experience is that it made things worse).. I mean fuck, the chiropracter association in my city is distributing progesterone to all the individual practitioners,
