Chiropractors are NOT doctors yet some of them seem to think they are. This presents a very real risk of harm to unsuspecting members of the public

SHOCKING that a chiropractor is seeing cancer patients and changing their diagnoses.

This makes for interesting reading, particularly this "a limited evidence base does not, of itself, establish that a technique is unsafe or ineffective". Actually, until a treatment has been clearly shown to be effective then it is assumed to be ineffective.

#homeopathy really is the most ridiculous of "treatments". Homeopaths often match the remedy they choose to the characteristics of the patient rather than the condition they are trying to treat. A good example below - "matched to bodies that wall things off". It's absurd!

The recommendations for chiropractors treating infants should simply read: "As a chiropractor you are not qualified to treat infants. Refer any infants who attend your practice to a competent medical practitioner."

#homeopathy is a fake treatment with no evidence of effectiveness for any condition. In recent years a number of countries have ceased funding for it through their national health / insurance systems. It is great news that Germany, where homeopathy was invented, has done so too
