> Ramin reports that they are impossible to point at on an x-ray, because they don’t exist; a dislocated joint in your spine would be the result of a horrendous injury that sends you to the hospital, she explains, not to a massage table. The Chiropractor I visit utilizes x-rays & a thermographic scanner to identify the subluxations. From consistently seeing my x-rays, it's obvious where my subluxations lie. The thermographic scanner analysis also corresponds with what I feel & what my x-rays show. The targeted adjustments increase my range of motions, blood flow, & "good feeling" in the areas of the subluxation; in a progressive way. The spine (especially the neck) is a complex biomechanical system, so it takes iterations to enhance. I've also tried yoga (ashtanga) & exercise in the past, but my back was still messed up. While it's healthy to be skeptical, it's also healthy to be skeptical of the skeptics. During the turn of the 20th century, the robber barons (i.e. Rockefellers) financed a campaign to promote the nascent allopathic medicine & to discredit the traditional naturalpathic medicine. They financed universities, including politically maneuvering in allopathic faculty & ostricizing naturalpathic faculty. They also utilized the new science of propaganda (later renamed to public relations) to convince the population of their worldview. Allopathic medicine tends to be more profitable large companies (monopolies) for a few reasons: * it has an innate subscription model (i.e. medication) * it can utilize patents & professional associations to control markets * by attending to the symptoms & not the root causes, it can create long-term or even lifetime customers who become dependent * side effects can be masked & non-obvious via bioaccumulation * masking side effects creates new symptoms to create demand for new medicine * having a monopoly in practitioners & capital allows companies/markets to control the funding & dissemination of research results * since it relates to health care, populations demand government subsidies funded by taxpayers & other government funds (i.e. ObamaCare) * since it's health care, laws can be passed to "ensure the public good". These laws are often written by the lobbyists to restrict competition. For example, in many states, it's a criminal offense to be a Naturalpathic Doctor. * there's been a recent epidemic (~60 from 2015-2016) of Naturalpathic & well known critics of the allopathic medicine industry/science with mysterious deaths I'm sure there are many other strategems that I'm missing; but this shows how allopathic medicine is quite a lucrative business with heavily dependent customers. It's also politically incorrect to call out the state of affairs as it's an involved & emotional topic with massively capitalized special interests who want to keep their golden goose.
