I disagree that properly conducted and documented scientific studies can be skewed by those conducting them. One of the main requirements is that an independent third party can recreate the study and should get a similar result. Joel

The incidence of VBAI is 1 in 3 million you have as much chance of a problem having your hair washed at a Salon or having sex. If it was such a problem then why are there no cases of an incidence in Chiropractic schools? In Chiropractic schools, students practice on each other. Everyday add all of the students getting their necks adjusted by untrained students without any problems other than some soreness. Don't people who have surgery have post op soreness? I saw no mention of the number of deaths due to prescription drugs or people undergoing surgery . Or how about the percentage of patents receiving back surgery who have a lifetime of back pain the procedure around 40%. there are many things done in Medicine that has no randomized controlled blind studies and many Meds. have no known mechanism of action yet it is used with a host of side effects more dangerous than chiropractic. The variables in the human population is vast and it is possible that there is no real way to do a randomized controlled blind study. Show me some randomized controlled studies on back surgery. Lets face it studies can be skewed by the people who do them. And before I am attacked over statistics I took a class and in it statistically speaking there is no supposed connection to any problems with second hand smoke. Look into the increased incidence in earaches in homes of smokers. Millions of people get relief from chiropractic. I will say there are some unscrupulous chiropractors out there but there are also many great ones who help their patients with no drugs, little side effects, and for a lot cheaper. It is time for all this attacking of a great profession that has been shown Scientifically to be more effective than surgery for certain types of back problems. And if you want to bring up dangers of something need I remind you of Heath Ledger who died to to prescription meds. Hew was famous so we heard about it. How many people do you think die due to these meds. let alone something considered harmless like aspirin Just a quick comment on the dangers of chiropractic .
