    A highly trained phrenologist still cannot diagnose personality problems by feeling bumps on your head.

      they can however diagnose issues for less money than a doctor.

      it took $10000 of scans and 10 years for doctors to decide that my constantly sprained ankle as in fact a permanent bone bruise. it took 3 different chiropractors (at 3 different events) 5 minutes to diagnose that same issue.

      the difference between the doctors and the chiropractors? the doctors are trapped by modern medicine and textbook diagnostic techniques. the chiropractors can pull from sources that have worked for thousands of years before some nutjob with lots of money and a product to sell said no.

        Chiropractic was made up in the 1800s.

          the word yes. but the practice of stretching and massaging muscles and shifting bones back into place has been around longer than your precious white man doctor has existed. or do you deny that China had doctors, masseuses, and the equivalent of a chiropractor for over 2000 years.

          and let me guess… the answer is: you deny anything that isn’t in the bible.

                  let me guess… You believe in the holy FDA bible. which includes taking bribes, suppressing evidence of harm in medical studies, and outright ignoring advice about harmful medicine until the death toll gets publicized.

          why? because I’m white? I got news for you. I’m not… just white passing. but yes. play the racism card any time someone tells you to go get stuffed.

          why don’t I just call you a filthy pig. It’s clearly a valid accusation to make by your logic.

          but let’s see… from your post history… you accuse anyone that doesn’t kiss your ass of being a racist.
