What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

In NLP, there is a practice of going backwards and forwards in time to repair past traumas by finding future resources and "bringing them back" to the past when they were needed. It works. I don't see why this wouldn't either, simply because many maladies that respond to chiropractic treatment have a psychological component, if nothing other than simply the belief that one has an injury or imbalance, causing a mild condition to worsen or perpetuate instead of healing.

the treatment is unacceptable and constitutes "willful and gross malpractice."

In my opinion, chiropractic is willful and gross malpractice. It is voodoo science, if you ask me. I can pop your back for free.

"the very special number of nine letters," as in, something that makes for a short, marketable domain name. That, coupled with free advertising through the press, and I'd say this guy's got a swell business plan.

Yes, there's research to support psychosomatic illnesses, but even if that's what he's trying to "treat", he can't do so legally without without a license (as a therapist, psychologist, etc...).

There is the old saying that a doctor's primary duty is to keep the patient amused while the body heals itself....and this guy certainly is amusing.

Sounds to me like this guy's full of it, but that's no reason to stop people from seeing him. No real harm seems to be done. But he should get the correct license for what he's doing. Licenses are meaningless if the licensing organization gets a bad reputation.

Well, except for the chiropractic part. LOL

It does, however, have a soothing vibrational influence and contains the very special number of nine letters

That doesn't explain why one of them is 'q' and why there's a silent 'h'. Sounds like an elf name.

"To minimize the delivery times, most orders are reviewed by a Canadian doctor, dispensed by the pharmacy, and shipped the same day the order is received or within one hundred years forwards and backwards in time.

"It is the combination of Indian manufacturers and Canadian pharmacists working together that allows us to do this."

P.S.

I swear to Jesus I'm not a spambot.

I have to say, some chiropractors do good work, I wouldn't be walking without the help of one as a kid. But a lot are just downright CREEPY (even ignoring the time traveling crazies). It's just like any type of person, some good, some bad, some off their rocker and probably should be admited to the loony bin.

I wonder how long he has been doing this before the chiropractic board caught on?
