@loran_hayden@mastodon.social @randahl They probably don’t wash them first either
@bougiewonderland @loran_hayden @randahl My work insurance covers chiropractors, naturopaths and a few other kinds of totally disproven woo.
Why not laying of hands at that rate?
@PatrickoftheG @bougiewonderland @loran_hayden @randahl My cousin is a chiropractor and he went to medical school in Trois-Rivières where he got his degree. There's a medical order of practitioners as well that's recognized by the government. My cousin is very good and after getting treatment from him a few times I can attest that he knows that he's doing and he's helped me on several occasions with some muscular skeletal problems. Don't be too quick to judge that practice.
@bougiewonderland@freeradical.zone@stephanetremblay @PatrickoftheG @loran_hayden@mastodon.social @randahl I didn’t say it’s all woo, I said there’s a lot of woo! I dropped my last chiropractor (who did solve a back problem I had) because he started pushing vaccine conspiracy theories and saying neck manipulations could solve various issues that had nothing to do with the back. I noped right out of there!
@bougiewonderland @stephanetremblay @loran_hayden @randahl Taught by a ghost.
Chiropractors do not go to medical school. If your back doctor went to a medical school they would be a doctor, like an orthopedic specialist.
Your body did all the real healing after a nice massage with someone who was likely a really friendly person, it wasn't the made up ghost knowledge that did it for you. I love the testimonials, you do you, but I can go find testimonials about radium suppositories too.
@bougiewonderland @stephanetremblay @loran_hayden @randahl Also, just for the record, being a professional order does not make someone an actual doctor - Ontario has a professional order of Naturopaths too, equally snakeoil woo from a class of predators. And every pharmacy will sell you homeopathy, and pharmacists have *real* degrees.
@PatrickoftheG @stephanetremblay @loran_hayden@mastodon.social @randahl In pharmacists’ defence, they often have no choice on that front, as it’s the brand owner who decides what they are required to sell. You’re a pharmacist and Shoppers’ tells you to carry woo? You have to carry woo.
But in my experience, if people ask, they will direct them towards actual medicine instead.
@bougiewonderland @stephanetremblay @loran_hayden @randahl At my local, they keep the homeopathic nonsense in a little section that's under lock and key and they make people ask about what's in it.
Reminds me of the French king who posted guards around potato fields to build interest. Could just be that the kooks are willing to steal the water the city gives them for free.
I wish we lived in a better world.
@PatrickoftheG @stephanetremblay @loran_hayden@mastodon.social @randahl True to that: CPAs have an order and they’re definitely not doctors
