Three Kinds of Quackery
Chiropractic, Palm Reading, and Acupuncture


THE PSEUDO SCIENCE OF CHIROPRACTIC COMES ENTIRELY FROM SEANCES THAT PALMER ATTENDED.
IN THE SEANCES, HE MET ONE DEAD DR. ATKINSON WHO COMMUNICATED IN HIS BURBLINGS
FROM BEYOND THE ENTIRE QUACK SYSTEM OF NONSENSE.

Chiropractic theory is rooted in the notions of Daniel David Palmer, a grocer and "magnetic healer" QUACK
who postulated that the basic cause of disease was interference with the body's nerve supply. He was an antivaxer
as Chiroquacktry has it that almost all if not all diseases are caused by imaginary maladjustments of the spine.

Subluxation: Chiropractic's Elusive Buzzword

If you are examined by a chiropractor, you may be told that you have one or more subluxations of your spine. This article examines what this means and how you should react.

Chiropractic theory is rooted in the notions of Daniel David Palmer, a grocer and "magnetic healer" who postulated that the basic cause of disease was interference with the body's nerve supply. Approximately a hundred years ago, he concluded that "A subluxated vertebrae . . . is the cause of 95 percent of all diseases. . . . The other five percent is caused by displaced joints other than those of the vertebral column." [1] He proclaimed that subluxations interfered with the body's expression of "Innate Intelligence"—the "Soul, Spirit, or Spark of Life" that controlled the healing process. He proposed to remedy the gamut of disease by manipulating or "adjusting" the problem areas.

Over the years, chiropractors have gone beyond Palmer's theories, although some still cling to them for dear life. Some describe subluxations as "bones out of place" and/or "pinched nerves"; some think in terms of "fixations" and/or loss of joint mobility; some occupy a middle ground that includes any or all of these concepts; and a small percentage renounce Palmer's notions as biotheistic nonsense—which they were.
