Bradley: Thanks for your comments. As always, buyer beware, whether it's healthcare or groceries or cars anything else. As for why we, as a profession declined on an invitation to join the AMA (I'd love to read the source on this....send it to me), look at what has happened to the discipline of Osteopathy. It is part of the Medical Establishment. Doctors of Osteopathy work on the same patients and problems that Doctors of Chiropractic do, just with the addition of pharmacology. The ranks of Osteopathy are shrinking quickly. The AMA's embrace of osteopathy early on was the AMA's way of containing and controlling what osteopathy did and does. Chiropractic is a threat to the AMA and medical establishment, because it's something beyond their control and thus ability to profit from it. If water could be declared a 'controlled substance' the AMA would start writing prescriptions for it and making a mint in the process. Chiropractic chose to remain independent so that we could chart our own course and not be under the direction and control and limitation of others who neither value nor understand that it's better to attack health issues at the source, versus masking, numbing, and otherwise confusing the brain about vital pain signals.
