"In 1895 the founder of chiropractic, DD Palmer (1845-1913), a grocery store owner in the US Midwest..." that's a qoute from Ernst and Pittler's, Desktop guide to complementaty and alternatve therapies. He was also a magnetic healer, which rather adds to his credibilty, don; tyou think. (Not.) A large percentage of chiropractors actually are straights; that is, they are vitalistic and believe in subluxations as the root cause of human disease. A good many also shun vaccinations.
I'd actually suggest your whole post is a strawman argument. Chiropractic is not effective for any condition. You need to check some proper research, not just that in the journal of very silly research. For example, I suggest you go check what the Cochrane collaboration have to say about chiropractic. You might also go check www.forbes.com/sites/.../2011/11/.../chiropractic-cures-for-your-dna/
Then ask yourself this: Why would cracking someone's back do anything except make a sort of popping sound?
The bottom line is this: If you think you are ill, then go to see an MD. You owe it to yourself, your children, your family and, most of all, yourself.
