I don't know about the US or other countries, but in Canada Chiropractors have to do something like 7 years of medical school (most of it, the same classes as real doctors) to be allowed to practice their craft. Its very well regulated. I think they were even given the right to pose a diagnostic. (which they were not allowed just a few years ago)

They are not all quacks is my point.

I don't understand how someone can study the biological sciences for 7 years and not once actually research the evidence base for their own practice. Like, is it denial or something else? When you really look into the journals associated with chiropractic medicine you find that they have a vastly different standard for peer review and evidence before publication which should be a red flag to anyone studying the topic and that chiropractic theory and practice are not based on much of anything that is widely accepted in the scientific community. If it was a 2 year diploma or something, fine, but this is apparently a 7 year stream of education which presumably includes courses in basic scientific literacy. What do people actually sitting in year 4 or 5 of this 7 year course tell themselves about the efficacy of their therapy? How can someone sit so long to complete a graduate stream of education in something of such dubious scientific merit?

The certificates on his wall are some scientology bullshit lol

One is a certificate for achieving the state of being clear and another commemorates his achievement of reaching operating thetan level 1 (which costs about $3000 total to achieve and can be done solo).

There's others but I can't make them out.

*edit* oooo also operating thetan level 3, we have someone who passed through the wall of fire! This is the level where they introduce the concept of Lord Xenu and the exile of unwanted galactic souls to planet earth as the source of current trauma and pathology
