What are you a slot machine? Did you ask why he was doing that? Was your magical chi going into the vials?

I say, I really trust and like my chiropractor.

As a dentist I know the most important thing is not my skill but being liked by my patients. I know plenty of iffy dentists who do well because they are liked.

I know he wouldn't do something to me that he doesn't fully understand and trust.

Then he should have NO problem explaining it to you. I spend a VERY large part of my day explaining why I do what I do to patients, when I visited a M.D. recently he explained my issues to me quite well and what the treatment would be. This is a
Chiropractor, and what he is doing has NOTHING to do with Chiropractic theory, so he better damn well be able to explain why he is doing something he didn't go to school for. It would be like me doing cancer exams. (Edit: I screen for oral cancer all the time now that I think about it, but that is something I was trained and qualified for, I was thinking all other 'traditional' cancer types which are well outside of my field)

Personally, if it works, I don't care.

Its a nutritional analysis, hes going to tell you to eat right and exercise with some gobbly gook thrown in, of course it will work.

Amen, trust someone who has your best interests at heart.

My question is- does anyone know what kind of holistic medicine he's doing?

Its a called a con game, and its even better if the con artists believes in it in terms of convincing you.

Is there a scientific basis to this kind of treatment or what?

Not a lick. Think about it, all you at most gave the vials was some heat from your hands.

I know this makes me seem like a be meany asshole (bow Charlatan) but use your own head here. What do you think is happening? If it doesn't make sense and the 'doctor' can't explain it to you in language you understand should you do it?
