This book is one of the most biased and least truthful of any indictment against chiropractic. I have been a chiropractic patient for the last 30 yrs and have not had one bad reaction from a Chiropractic adjustment. I wish I could say that about most medicines and I'm sure those 100.000+ patients who died last year and will die this year because of adverse drug reactions could say that(listed as the 4th - 6th leading cause of death in the U.S., just behind heart attacks, stroke and cancer). And for all those who think this is an exaggeration check out New England Journal of Medicine, July 1998. It speaks for itself on better living through chemistry.

You know, the facts speak for themselves. People are turning to chiropractic in droves because it is safe and effective. The author talks about strokes after chiropractic "manipulations". However, he never discuss the the real truth; incidents of strokes after a "manipulation" are only one half of the general populatuion who did not have a "manipulation". This is like looking into how many people die in car crashes after a "manipulation". Where's the causality. To me, this "oversight" or lack of scientific acuracy reflects poorly on the author, who's agenda is clear. I am a chiropractor, and I have now practiced for four years. In all that time I've never had one problem during, or after, a chiropractic adjustment. I do not even know a collegue who has had one. Ask a medical doctor if his experiences in care are similar.

The author attacks the safest form of health care known to man because of his personal experience. He fails to acknowledge that the profession has over a 99% patient satisfaction rating, that a doctor of chiropractic enjoys the lowest malpractice premiums amoung health care providers, and that his incident may not have even been due to his chiropractic experience.

A first-rate piece of research.
This is a must read for anyone thinking of having their spine - that complex and vital structure - manipulated by someone that has not passed through medical school.
