The more things change, the more they remain the same?
"Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing." Voltaire.
Chiropractic has been accused by "Medicine" for 125 years, of being "Vitalistic," not "evidence based." However, based on available evidence, Vitalism is vital! Lifting spirit boosts immunity! Pain definitely lowers your spirit, energy, and immunity.
Arguments against Vitalism are premised on rejecting anything immaterial. But statistics, logic, and reason, which are fundamental components of evidence, are immaterial. Your Innate Immunity is more intelligent than current science. That is why current medicines wreak havoc.
Chiropractic does not need to "modernize." Science and medicine need to catch up!
If you have any based, cogent research or analysis to share regarding anything you see here, pro- or con-, please submit it!
Chiropractic has always been able to show real science that backs up what it professes. We have always been evidence based! Yet handicapped by limited research funding, and the limits of what science has proven. The nervous system was just starting to be studied when the profession began. Circulation, blood pressure, and heart failure weren't even recognized and understood until the 30s! The immune system is still not fully understood. All of these things are expressions of the self-organizing nature of Innate Intelligence. Evidence is accumulating ever faster nowadays. The growing mountain of it is being collected here. Chiropractic provides better outcomes, at lower cost, safely!
Meanwhile, the "toxic chemicals and inoculations to fight disease" industry has delivered a population rife with chronic health problems, millions on multiple permanent toxic prescriptions, millions addicted to opiates, millions damaged by vaccines, bankruptcy of health care system, and more profits than any other industry. Enough to take over the world and force everyone to take their poison? I know that sounds silly. They'd probably have to join forces with WHO, high tech surveillance industry, and the Communist Party to pull off something like that!
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come
when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict
the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to
others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special
privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.”
― Dr. Benjamin Rush, signer of US Declaration of Independence 1776
"Vitalism compares to reductionist materialism as love does to getting raped."
