"I don't believe in chiropractic"
"I don't like chiropractic, even though I never tried it"
"I am against chiropractic"
"Chiropractors don't have real schooling" ...
etc. etc. etc.
Did you ever hear these kind of comments from people or physicians?
The sad thing is most people who have a bias against chiropractic have never tried it, really read up on it, or evaluated the philosophy, art and science of chiropractic.
Did you ever wonder why the undertones of this bias seems to perpetuate in our society? I have friends that practice in Ireland, Italy, Spain, South America and other places overseas. They tell me that the bias seems to be the opposite...chiropractic is highly revered or at least the people are completely open to it.
Most people don't know where this bias came from in our country. Most people are unaware of the truth about the AMA's conspiracy against chiropractic. Yes, conspiracy...organized medicine spent decades and millions of dollars trying to discredit and destroy chiropractic. This created a very strong mis-information case against chiropractic before the day and age of the internet and information at our fingertips. This took place in the day and age when my 'Grandfather would have jumped off a bridge if his medical doctor said so' (well I hope not, don't think he really would have, probably would have come close though).
Here is a summary of the facts about the conspiracy to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession.
On August 27, 1987, Judge Susan Getzendanner, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, found the American Medical Association, The American College of Surgeons, and The American College of Radiology, guilty of having conspired to destroy the profession of chiropractic in the United States. In a 101-page opinion, Judge Getzendanner ruled that the American Medical Association and its co-conspirators had violated the Sherman Antitrust Laws of the United States. Evidence at the trial showed that the defendants took active steps, often covert, to undermine chiropractic educational institutions, conceal evidence of the usefulness of chiropractic care, undercut insurance programs for patients of chiropractors, subvert government inquiries into the efficacy of chiropractic, engage in a massive disinformation campaign to discredit and destabilize the chiropractic profession and engage in numerous other activities to maintain a medical physician monopoly over health care in this country.
It is a shame that hundreds of thousands of caring medical doctors and millions of their patients were deceived by the AMA. This deception perpetuated ideas and concepts against chiropractic founded on dogma, not science, not clinical outcomes...not results... it stemmed from criminal corruption.
The fact is that chiropractic care is so great, powerful, and helpful for people that the AMA felt threatened.

...and next time you hear someone who is biased against chiropractic you can say to them..."really, can I get a copy of that?
