Answer 1

they're quacks

Answer 2

Hey Professor.  I didn't listen to the entire interview, but what I did hear is entirely biochemically and scientifically correct!  So, is scientifically valid information your definition of Quackery?

I just don't understand YOUR position?

Full disclosure:  I am a retired Chiropractor.  What are you?

Answer 3

Chiropractors have gotten  me up after I was stuck (literally) in bed, peeing in a bottle, with my back going into agonising spasms every time I coughed or sneezed, and got me walking inside of 20 minutes so people like "skep c**k" can stick their allopathic scalpels up their butts and spin on it.

Answer 4

I thought this guy was a genious.

As a sufferer of hypothryoidism, I have done tons of personal research on it and everything he said is true.  The endocrine system is vastly intertwined.  There are nutrients that significantly help the thyroid. I notice that I feel better when I eat seafood (selenium). I feel better when I drink RO water. (The city water is contaminated with flouride and chlorine--which is similarily structured to iodine--which in turn blocks iodine absorption). I read a lot and know a lot from personal experience.

I have been tested three times and have never been thoroughly tested. It's true, the docs don't test for everything like they should (cortisol, TPO).  HMO politics I assume. As a result, my levels never got me high enough to get myself to endocrinologist. Frustrated with western medicine, I turned to alternative medicine. (When your throat is throbbing and the docs don't refer you to an endocrinologist--you would too.) The only alternative therapy that he didn't mention was magnetic therapy. It helps your endocrine system a great deal.

From my experience, there are more doctors than chiropractors that are  "quacks." When I was young I had severe scoliosis. I had the option of seeing a chiropractor or having a metal rod put in my spine. I chose chiropractics. I'm glad I did. My spine was completely straightened within 6 months. They don't cure everything, that is a given. You can't see them if you have ruptured discs, but they do help with many ailments.

Thank you for posting the videos, though I wish you would have worded the question better.
