No offense meant mate, but this is claptrap.

Aligned with what? The stars? :rollseyes:

Chiropractors adjust the spine so that the signals from the brain get sent and recieved to the other parts of the body correctly, without signals getting jumbled before getting to the organ or whatever part is having problems.

You don't have a medical background, do you?

I speak from personal experience. I had upper back pain and decided to go to a good chiropractor (I looked around before I chose which one to go to on the list that is covered by my very picky insurance, including researching a few I had heard about that weren't on the list). I no longer have the pain. I go in for monthly adjustments as a part of my recovery.

So why hasn't he "cured" you?
Because the chiropractor, by definition my friend, is treating the symptoms. He is manipulating your spine. Those "cracks" you hear and feel are his movement of your vertebrae.
And by only treating your symptoms, he ensures you keep coming back, rather than to a physio who will actually give you an exercise regime to help address the underlying problem. I wonder how much he charges you each visit?

The other month I came down with a very bad flu.
...[SNIP]...
After being adjusted, my body was able to get over the sickness in only a few days. Chiropractics allowed my body to do something on its own in a few days that medication couldn't do for over a week.

You believe a
CHIROPRACTOR cured your flu?!
Well, for starters, there is no cure for influenza. You can get vacinations against various strains, that stimulate your immune system into fighting the infection, but there is no "cure". Secondly, you must probably didn't have the flu (as you would most likely be bed-ridden or hospitalized if you did) and probably had what's usually called the common cold. Either way, does it occur to you that
a) the drugs you were prescribed were meant to treat the symptoms and not the cause?
b) that your body actually go over the infection in its own time, as it is supposed to?

From now on, when I get sick, I'm going to my chiropractor for an adjustment before I go see a doctor for another prescription that will do nothing but make me even sicker.

Let's hope you never get the
real flu, or (Heaven forbid) pneumonia. I'd love to see your chiropractor cure that. Or rubela. Or leprosy. Or sceptecemia. Or tuberculosis. Or any other raft of disases and infections that are cured or treated with modern drugs.

If you took an infant to a chiropractor, then you're dangerous as well as deluded.
