Well said and done. Fortifying these message are the studies of Dr. Ron Rosedale and Dr. Mark Hyman and recent publications by the New England Journal. Bravo!

I doubt medicare covers chiropractic. Private insurance in the US is very strict though. Private insurance in the US will not cover homeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine or even nutrition consulting, etc. It pretty much only covers conventional medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic and psychiatry. One reason it will often cover chiropractic is because it's often effective and much cheaper than conventional approaches such as surgery or life long pain meds.

Thank you, psychetruth.Does Medicare cover chiropractic treatment in the same way as they cover conventional medicine?It doesn't get recognition here in the Netherlands or some other countries I've been such as Australia.Insurances (here and elsewhere) cover all kinds of quackery including homoeopathy so I doubt that this is a reliable guide of whether something is reliable and scientific treatment or not.

Both medical doctors and chiropractors are licensed in the state they work in. Chiropractors have to get a doctorate degree in an approve college of chiropractic. They are considered doctors. Chiros are the most recognized and accepted form of alternative health by conventional medicine. Insurance companies will often cover chiropractic treatment. Despite that, he is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist this is a person with a degree in nutrition and post graduate work in bio-chemistry.

So, what are the qualifications of chiropractors in the USA. It's not a university course recognised by the state, is it?Is he allowed by law to call himself DR. if he doesn't have a genuine university degree?Not criticising, just questioning because I don't know about the USA education system and there are a lot of quacks around that we have to be aware of, as well.

I had horrible side effects with Lipitor. my body aches a lot. I'm not sure if the pain is muscle. I can't sleep at night because my back aches like crazy. I told my doctor that I refuse to take Lipitor.

After watching a further video by this poster,I am going to rethink my position. It is indeed true that I haven't to date been "injured" by bad med practice or advice; however the restrictions placed by the AMA on what is considered to be "acceptable" medical practice, plus the across the boardrejection of alternative healthcare providersis beginning to cause me a bit of concern.

A very valid information. The case of misuse of pharmaceutical drugs is indeed a contentious topic and is one that should be looked at seriously. Westerners have become far too reliant on excesses regarding drug implementation.
