Well, see, that's the thing, isn't it. I haven't noticed very much difference between your chiropractic endorsements and endorsements of "chiropractic" and those of any of the chiropractic organizations with which you apparently take issue. Surely, you're splitting chiropractic hairs if your idea about your "chiropractic" is that it is somehow different than any of the other chiropractic brands. Attending "Parker" and then turning around and pointing a finger at the WCA and Dr. Rondberg is a little like saying you just returned from your yearly Jones Guyana Seminar but wouldn't be caught dead (if you will) at one of those Waco Dravidian Seminars sponsored by Koresh et al.
In other words, while my comparison might seem extreme to you, I think you should recognize that the important differences between these groups are not extreme -- anymore than those of the WCA, ACA, and ICA are. I'm not saying there aren't differences between the chiropractic factions. There are. The WCA chiropractors are the ones wearing the fake "arrow through the head," the ACA DCs are wearing the "Groucho" nose, mustache and glasses, and the ICA meatballs are the chiropractors with the antlers strapped to their heads. But, in case you hadn't noticed, they're all naked -- if not nakedly "chiropractic." And, isn't that the point, NMSdoc?
Let me ask you. Do you honestly think a WCA chiropractor who limits their chiropractic silliness and "adjustments" to what you would call "neuro musculo skeletal" (NMS) complaints is any more or less imbecilic than an ACA chiropractor, let's say, who uses Thompson, Activator, "BioPhysics," Gonstead, SOT, BEST (or any other uniquely chiropractic "methodology") to treat a "NMS" complaint of one of their, ahem ... patients? Where are you drawing the chiropractic line between one stupid and another?
I wonder if you realize how stunning it is that you can so casually mention that you just returned from a Parker Seminar in Las Vegas -- I mean, without blinking or skipping a chiropractic beat. The fact that you don't seem to notice suggests you're a fish in chiropractic water -- not any different than the others I see swimming around inside the chiropractic fish-bowl. Do you think I've somehow missed your point?
