True Poetry Frees Us From Burdens By Moderating Feelings

"True poetry announces itself thus, that, as a worldly gospel, it can by internal cheerfulness and external comfort free us from the earthly burdens which press upon us. ... The most lively, as well as the most serious works, have the same aim of moderating both pleasure and pain by a felicitous intellectual form."

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Autobiography, tr. John Oxenford (1891), Book 13

Beware! Quackery Lives . . . in the Cult of Chiropractic

The quacks of chiropractic are still out there, with their doctrines of innate intelligence and subluxation. Doubters will not be accepted as patients as communicants. The chiropractors do not claim to cure any disease, but commitment is required up front! 12-18 months! 6 months! OK, 10-12 weeks, but that's the minimum. Because subluxations reassert themselves within 24-48 hours of every adjustment, you are nothing but a human ATM machine for the back-cracker. They operate x-ray machines but have never heard of microsieverts, or millirems. Before you realize who they really are, they already have some of your money.

Beware!

“It is the position of the medical profession that chiropractic is an unscientific cult whose practitioners lack the necessary training and background to diagnose and treat human disease. Chiropractic constitutes a hazard to rational health care in the United States because of its substandard and unscientific education of its practitioners and their rigid adherence to an irrational, unscientific approach to disease causation.”
