"You misinterpreted what I said..... That's ok though.... Let me explain. I completely agree with you that there are patients that are addicted to Chiropractic.... This doesn't mean that I think Chiropractic is addicting to the majority of the patients treated. I was asking for proof for this statement: "You may need to have an adjustment but the more often you do the more often you will require it" That is saying something completely different than "some people are addicted to Chiropractic", which is what I agreed with.

"There is actually proof....... There is a plethora of research to back up Chiropractic work... What rock have you been living under? Unlike Chinese medicine and any of the other things you mentioned, Chiropractors are board approved Gateway doctors in the U.S., which means they have the same clout that an M.D. does. They actually spend more time in school than an M.D. does in most schools."

"I think that the true colors of John McCain are being seen. I don't think that "That One" was intentional or a big deal, but I do believe people are detaching from him. He just seems angry and clueless alot of the time."
