One of my aunts was "treated" by one for an "injury" due to an automobile accident. He treated her for five years for a bruised leg. Then, at the end of that five years he "discovered" that she had "broken her hip" some unknown time in the past. So she kept paying him for that pitiful bit of attention she got each week. (He never explained why it took him five years to find that old injury. Or how she had not noticed a broken hip herself.)A chiropractor kept 'adjusting' my grandmother. She went to him seeking relief for being achy and sore and she was hearing a lot of snapping and popping when she did things as simple as brushing her hair. She died a couple years after starting these adjustments of bone cancer that went undetected because she didn't go to a real doctor until it was too late.
Yeah, "alternative medicine" kills.
I saw a zoo show where they were doing acupuncture on an elderly elephant. You could see the "specialist" trying to look like she knew what she was doing. I was sad and infuriated at the same time.
