Even a dog can call bullshit–Why can’t you?
Some years ago, I stumbled into a bar bathroom and saw a diaper-changing table next to the puked stained toilet. Someone wrote on the changing table, “Why would you bring your baby to a bar?” There are certainly legitimate reasons why someone would bring their baby to this particular establishment; they serve good food and you can’t find babysitting. However, there is NO DAMN GOOD REASON to bring your baby to a chiropractor. And if you are one of those idiots that do, you should:
1) Educate yourself in proper and legitimate science and how it works and then stop being a fucking gullible, naive, idiot by giving these charlatans money.
2) Be locked up for child abuse.
I always thought that most people are inherently smart even without a college education. I guess I’m an optimist at heart. I see nothing wrong with an adult seeing a chiropractor for back and neck issues. It’s the ones that claim to cure your child of Autism and bed-wetting that I can not stomach. Chiropractors who claim to cure diseases that have nothing to do with your back or neck pain are obvious snake oil salesmen. They are the modern day Wizards of Oz. Didn’t that movie teach you anything about seeing through people’s bullshit??? But who am I to be so optimistic of human nature–it was the friggin dog who revealed the fraud behind the curtain.
(I do not believe the following horse-shit. I am just summing up in layman terms how chiropractic claims it works.)
Chiropractors who claim to cure disease and illness, such as the flu, believe that manipulation of the spine/spinal column can prevent such an infection. They believe people suffer from these things called subluxations, which are “blockages” in the spinal column that affect the nervous system’s ability to do its job. And since the nervous system affects the immune system, well then, that’s how cracking your back cure the flu. That’s how cracking your back cures migraines, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, the clap, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, restless legs syndrome, shift-work disorder, etc. etc… you get the point. They can make all your problems go away–for a fee.
It’s one thing to subject yourself to this bullshit. Go ahead. Spend your money and hopefully natural selection will kill you off. But it’s a whole other problem when you subject your children to this abuse. For one, they can be seriously injured by a spinal manipulation. Secondly, if you use chiropractic to treat an ear infection or strep throat instead of antibiotics, you are a dangerous moron who might kill their child. Thirdly, if you think chiropractic can cure your child of behavioral or learning problems, you are a dangerous moron, I feel bad for your children and you should cease breeding for the rest of your natural life. Praying to Zeus will cure your child’s ADHD faster than going to a chiropractor.
Why would any parent go to a chiropractor to “cure” their children’s problems and ailments?
I’m convinced some people actually hate their children. Since their little darlings didn’t come out perfect and quoting MacBeth by the time they were 18 months, they subject their children to quackery of the worst kind, in order to “fix” them. Apparently, their child is not brag worthy enough for their mommy group. One of the things that particularly pisses me off is the fact that scumbag Chiropractors claim to “recover” kids from Autism with their methods–of course, for a price. There is an entire branch of quackery which claims to “cure” Autism, but that deserves a whole other blogpost because of how disgusting and low the business of “curing” Autism really is.
You know we are devolving when more and more people embrace this blatant stupidity. Seemingly sane parents are flocking to pediatric chiropractic in droves; their fears and their loathing manipulated for the simplest of reasons–money.
When it comes to science-based medicine and science based-treatment, these quacks like to say, “Follow the money”; I followed the money and it led right into the bank accounts of chiropractors.

Very cute baby being subjected to this bullshit. (Do you hear that sound in the background. It’s the sound of money being sucked out of this poor child’s parents’ wallet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IbchRQuhHI
