What do you like about this subject? It Is My Life to help people without invasive dangerous and expensive mainstream medicine. Medicine has its place but fails in spinal disorders.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? To be the best most ethical honest physician humanely possible.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Not all Chiropractors are created equal, many have very limited scopes and hang on to dogmatic science that is unproven. Many D.C.'s ruin it for the rest of us by ignoring science and graduating from diploma mills.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject There are "Mixers and Straight" Chiropractors. The majority are mixers and run evidence based practices. A few are straight and hold on to the subluxation theory which, they believe, causes all disease which prevents advancement of the profession with regard to mainstream acceptance. Thankfully, these are a dying breed.
