I wrote this letter in response to an organization that is trying, once again, to discourage our scope of practice in Michigan. Please let everyone know that we need help to "snuff out" this kind of garbage. The website I'm responding to in my letter is educatedontlegislate.org.
Mr. Ford,
I read with interest your perspective on chiropractic health care. It's unbelievable in this day and age, with the history of chiropractic and its benefits, that you still feel the way you do. Perhaps the anti-trust suit won against the AMA is no longer "fresh" in your mind? It is sad when fear of competition is the driving force in the caring of patients as it appears to be with the affiliated groups on your website. I feel for the poor souls that you claim you want to help.
Let me just remind you that, by their own admission the AMA members killed 250,000 people in one year by illicit medicine! How many people died from chiropractic...directly, not through hearsay? We are tired of hearing that "my aunt's second cousin removed and then re-married to a neighbor in Pookieville, New Hampshire died after an adjustment!" or yet, "had a chiropractor break their neck." This kind of telephone game rhetoric is just not acceptable anymore.
The profession of chiropractic is an honorable one and we try very hard not to tell the truth about medical as they continue to tell lies about chiropractic.
Last but not least, our profession was called out by a group, which claims it is helping to stamp out fraud, for a million dollar square off in the treatment of injuries and disease. It is run by one of your affiliates. We accepted and they never got back to us! Wow. Now there's some confidence.
Remember Mr. Ford, M.D. simply stands in my opinion for More Drugs, More Disease and More Death. Your organization has been in control for too many years; for we continue to see disease and death go up and quality of life go down. Perhaps education is the key. Education that puts Chiropractic in the forefront of health care. We can only do better, it would be impossible to do worse.
Yours in health,
Mary Jo Boven

For a partial answer to that question, take a look here:

This is a follow up on the prevous comment. I checked out the site the reader left. It is not 100 percent accurate. They have cherry picked articles and offered no concrete proof other than peoples thoughts and successful lawsuits. This is a one sided approach to the truth. Where are the pages and page and pages and pages of medical errors? Whoops, those conveniently are left out! Isn't it amazing that even when medical approaches are failing to cure a patient, whether well known or not, and they seek out a more natural cure but die, they still pin it on the natural approach!
However, when medical approaches are used and they die, everyone gives the thumbs up and says "They tried everything." Wake up and smell the coffee. I stand by my blog, "Chiropractic under fire...again!
In addition, I think it interesting that the 'proof' on this website spans 3 countries and over 40 years to come up with under 300 incidences. In just one year in my state alone, more people die from medical errors...and this is somehow acceptable?
