Chiro recommends cannibalism to fight cancer
by Jerry Muelver
Steven Veselak, chiropractor at Goldsworthy Allied Health, Antigo, WI, announced in the Antigo Daily Journal monthly magazine insert Family Primetime for January 2012 a medical breakthrough characteristic of the power and depth of chiropractic research: cannibalism may help your body fight cancer! This totally unexpected discovery is revealed in Veselak’s article, titled “Powerful foods can fight powerful conditions” on page 11 of Family Primetime.
Writing about a book titled, “Foods That Fight Cancer: Preventing Cancer Through Diet”, Veselak says:
“The researchers went further in their efforts to provide evidence that certain foods will help fight cancer by developing a “vegetable cocktail” consisting of cabbage, blueberries, brussels sprouts, broccoli, garlic, scallions, tumeric, Richard Beliveau and Denis Gringas.”
Amazing! We don’t know for sure whether Richard and Denis are available as whole-body extracts or merely fluid condensates, or whether you can use other people in the recipe, since Veselak is typically ambiguous in the implementation details of his recommendations. Nonetheless, this remarkable discovery is sure to have an impact on cancer research that will focus new attention on the long-neglected scientific contributions of chiropractic to modern health care.

Note that Veselak credits co-authorship for this article to James. P. Meschino, D.C., of Canada in the article’s last paragraph. Meschino’s version of the article does not credit Veselak as co-author, however. The Antigo Daily Journal has created the entirely new concept of unilateral co-authorship! Dr. Meschino is going to be quite surprised!
Dr. Meschino’s reply:
“I did not write this article with Steven Veselak. I don’t know who he is and I have not co-authored any papers with him. I do have my own review paper, which I published in Dynamic Chiropractic on this subject and Steven Vaselak had no involvement in the writing of it. He should not be using my name in this way. Dr James Meschino.”
Oh for Gods Sake! The man is guilty of bad punctuation, that’s it. & for all you know, Good ol’ Freddy could have made the typo himself. I love our paper, but I get a good laugh everyday from all those typos, articles that say “continued on page 7″ & it’s not. Also the stories that stop 1/2 way through & then end with a conjunction.
I’d love to go through the entire paper word by word, circle the mistakes with red pencil & write on it “DO OVER” & return it to Fred. lol
Also, I have never seen the same people die 2 or 3 times except in the Journal.
And as far as all you who say we need to curb the rumors, (I say its “talk”) you should remember the Gettysburg Address which states”And that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth” We pay all their wages. We have a RIGHT to know what’s going on & get the most bang for our buck…..oops Sorry ..They do THAT too, don’t they? ;0
@Shalimar, Veselak is guilty of a bit more than bad punctuation. He copied a piece written by someone else, had it published under his own name, then lied in the final paragraph claiming that James Meschino “co-authored” the piece when Meschino actually never heard of Veselak, never “co-authored” anything with Veselak, never gave Veselak permission to use his name, and objects to his material being mis-used in this fashion. Veselak came up with the “co-author” gimmick as a dodge around the serial plagiarism I exposed earlier (and repeatedly – do a Google search on “Veselak AntigoBuzz”) rather than get permission from and give proper credit to the real authors of his Family Primetime rip-offs. Antigo Daily Journal Publisher/Editor Fred Berner knows better, too, because I called him on his glib publishing of stolen work in a face-to-face discussion. We’re dealing with a serious failure of judgment and ethics here, not just bad punctuation and comical paste-up.
Plagiarism aside, why would look to a wizard–oops, I mean chiropractor for cancer advise? I’d also like to know how they found this out. Double blind study? lol
Assuming this isn’t a joke, I think I’d rather get cancer.
Good point Heleen!
Definition of double-blind study: two chiropractors looking at a brain scan.
@Jerry–I think I’m in love!!
@Connie – Could just be a subluxation, you know….
Yikes! Cannibalism to fight cancer?
Say, {{{Jer}}}, is this some resurrected version of the long-forgotten, long-defunct “Insult Forum?”
A true cure for cancer entails
A method that hardly e’er fails:
Using spoons, forks and knives
Men should “dine on” their wives
– In particular, folks, their entrails!
Joel
@Joel – Great! Send it to Fred. After all, he writes a weekly column (some say, “column weakly”) titled, “Bits and Pieces”. Must be a recurrent theme at ADJ.
Huh?
Send it to Fred? FRED?? Who in tarnation is….. Look here, now:
My pappy — his first name was Fred
But alas, Jer, he died and is dead
So who is this guy
Who’s earned my reply
– Perhaps you meant Ed, Ned or Ted?
PAUSE:
Okay, I just googled Fred — *Pastor* Fred, right? — from “Bits and Pieces” (made me think of a jigsaw puzzle). Any relation to your ole high school “bosom buddy” Neale Donald Walsch — who (convincingly, or otherwise) converses with God?
PS: No idea what ADJ stands for…certainly, in this case, not “adjective”.
Joel, you are baiting from back in the past
To those innocent times we were all loose and fast.
Now we’re out of the hood,
And in the North Wood,
Where throwing out bait is a “cast”.
P.S. “Fred” is Fred Bremer, top of the totem pole at ADJ, the Antigo Daily Journal, which I know Neale could buy out, lock stock and barrel, with the loose change from his “conversation” fantasy sales.
HI JER!!! {{{{{hugs}}}}}
Gee, we were JUST talkin’ about you. How the heck are you? Do you still look like a dugong?
@KC – Hey! I’m doing fine. My personal immortality project is going quite well. As you know, I used to look like a Greek god. Now I look more like a handsome, sagacious Greek philosopher, Socrates to be exact.
>>Now we’re out of the hood, And in the North Wood,<<
WOW! If my long-term memory serves me correctly, Jer' — and I believe, in this case, it does — you used to live in that little "onomatopoeia" of a halcyon town called Onomowoc, between Milwaukee and Madison.
I'll never forget that charming little village of Minoqua when I was exploring your beautiful state.
May I suggest that you look much, much better WITHOUT the whiskers!
PS: By the way, good limerick!
