Jerry Muelver, you are just sooooo smart, I can’t believe you are from Antigo??? you must be a God who knows all sees all please tell me everything you know because I will just be so much smarter after listening to you… what rock did you just crawl out from under??? No scientific proof??? Shows you read what you want because you are too one sided to see the other facts. You don’t have to like them but you can stop spreading your “facts” because they are incorrect.. http://www.chirotips.com/chiropractic_quick_facts.htm

Ginger, many people in the area feel they have been helped by chiropractors. In fact, Antigo has one chiropractor for every 600 or so citizens, while the national average is one per 6,600. So, chiropractic is 11 times more popular here than one would expect. However, being popular is not the same as being right, or even beneficial.

Chiropractors are masters of the placebo – “Wow! He did something impressive. That must mean it’s good for me!” It’s one of those things which only works if you be3lieve it’s going to work. That puts chiropractors on the same level as faith healers, which in fact they are. A great many of their claimed “cures” are for conditions which are self-correcting, or in the case of “subluxations”, imaginary. There is no scientific evidence that chiropractic “adjustments” have any effect on asthma, colic, otitis media (earache), ADHD, or infertility, among the many magical claims I’ve seen from local chiropractors.

The “clicker” Stacy Bula used on you is called an “activator”, and is as bogus a treatment as poking needles into a voodoo doll. “Spinal misalignment” causing “subluxations” that are correctable by “gentle movement” is a figment of chiropractic imagination, not scientific reality. By the way, I expect you will not believe a single word I have written, because support of chiropractic is a matter of faith, not reason, and evidence does not matter for true believers.

anyone who goes to a chiropractor knows there can be risks. I have been going since the 7th grade and I’m pushing 40 now. This is to keep me off pain meds for a very bad back and migranes. I have been to Dr Mulendorf, Dr Kurger Dr deBroux Dr Rindal and Dr Bula. All have a different style. Chiropractic care helps my daughter who is a severe asthmatic helps my son with belly aches ear aches and lots of other issues. I feel for Scott it is terrible but how many others have been helped over the years? And if you ask me it’s much safer then popping pills that within 5 yrs are coming up with “oh no, if you took this” stuff. I tried out different Chiropractors to see who would fit me best. You don’t want someone to put you in a head lock and twist your neck, then go to Dr Bula, she uses a clicker that gently moves the bones back into alignment. You want someone with all the fancy gadgets go to Dr Kerger. You looking for just popping your back go to Dr Rindall. Don’t bad mouth the work of Chiropractic care, it’s been around much longer then modern meds. Sorry if I misspelled any names.

Update. Albus and Jerry Mouthiver are one in the same. It’s like getting two shots of stupid for the price of one.

@Very p***ed off – If you don’t care whether your healthcare provider exhibits unprofessional, unethical, deceitful behavior, and lies repeatedly to the public, then you have much lower standards of selection than I have. As for chiropractors helping a lot of people in this town, consider Scott Tatro’s story – http://scottslockedin.com

Alfalfanator, there’s a lot of “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” plagiarism and recycled “informational pieces” in the chiro community. I doubt if there will be any action from the “To Your Health” people, though one can always maintain hope. The really shameful part is that Veselak and Fred Berner both are aware that (1) this activity is really crappy journalism, and (2) they can count on me to point our their obnoxious transgressions as soon as they happen. Yet, they persist in this anti-professional, unethical behavior.

Hey, guys! Steve, Fred — In my opinion, you’re unethical scam artists, inept at your chosen scurrilous professions, and bound, ultimately, to be tripped up by your own incompetence and disregard for community standards.

Albus, did you send “To Your Health” editors a link to your statement above? No? That’s okay–I did, after reading their EULA. Why? Because it pisses me off when someone steals MY intellectual property. I’d rather they steal my car. At least my car could be returned with no questions asked. Stealing copyrighted material is the theft that keeps on thieving.

“This chick” is Stephen Veselak. He may be journalistically unethical, but he’s male. The other chick fond of plagiarizing is Stacy Bula. I don’t think she’ll plagiarize any more. The prolific chiro “author” in Family Primtetime before her was Nicole deBroux. I’ll bet that If I could get my hands on Primetime archives, we’d find voluminous “accidental” text borrowing in her stuff, too. She claimed to cure colic, ear ache, ADHD, asthma, and maybe even poor vision and bad breath, all by jiggling vertebrae. With entertainers like these, who needs “America’s Funniest Videos”?
