I can find competing studies Gene. I dunno.

I’ve had good and bad chiropractors. As long as they know their limitations they have a roll. Mine helps me a lot.

If they aren’t victors neither are optometrists etc. I consider them docs.

Um... yeah, they do. MD's and DO's are both physicians licensed to prescribe meds and perform surgery.

I think chiropractors are useful, but they're certainly not "doctors".

Heck, we don't even know if Victor is really a victor. We are making a non factual assumption. I have considered calling him doctor, which would be in line with his supposed education and level of intellect. But since there are no facts or studies to confirm any of this I will not. To do so would be non critical thinking, actually illogical since it would be a unintuitive leap of faith. So Victor it us. The 809, well that's a story for another day. That day started promisingly in Frisco.

Not a single chiropractor on staff in the hospital systems I've worked in.

Sure they make have a doctorate, but medical doctors they are not. They are doctors. But so is my buddy who works in a lab making synthetic lubricants. Wouldn't trust either of them to take a look at a lump on my balls.

We are all forgetting the current cure all panacea du jour. CBD oil. [chef]

Talk about snake oil. Might as well stand on one foot and place healing crystals on your forehead. [ram27bat]

Bone crackers, lived next door to one and called him "almost a doctor". Got a relative that's one- wouldn't let him touch me. Lot's of weird people get into it and they can't seem or don't want to weed them out.
