Answer 1

what matters most is the accuracy of his information, not his degree. Most Chiropractors I have spoken with have enough difficulty describing/defining a "subluxation" let alone batting to opposite field commenting on the thyroid. For one of the repliers;By the way it can't be "malpractice for someone to speak about a subject even if they are wrong. For a Chiropractor to be guilty of malpractice; a doctor patient relationship must be present, there needs to be a deviation from the standard of medical care and this deviation has to be the cause for the patients problem/new symptoms

Answer 2

Watched the first one - very good review of thyroid function and hormones!  Chiropractors have to have a good understanding of the thyroid as it is a structure of the neck!

I think he is heading in a nutritional direction and I have no problem with that - he was also recommending lab testing, not hocus pocus of some kind so I think it was great!

Answer 3

I know a podiatrist who preaches nutrition. I think it is an affront to my intelligence and borders on malpractice.

Answer 4

Brilliant!  Doctors of Chiropractic get about 1000 hours more than medical doctors and it really shows in these videos.  

Thanks!
