#chiropractic subluxation is something that doesn't actually exist. That doesn't stop many chiropractors from claiming to treat them. Below is one example of how chiropractors describe subluxations. No, these treatments don't have any impact on "nervous system flow"

Here is a list of the top 4 ways babies benefit from #chiropractic care:.1. 2. 3. 4.

RT @jonathanstea: Behind almost every leader in the anti-vaccine movement is a wellness grift.

#acupuncture is one of the most widely used alternative therapies. It's based on the ideas of Qi and meridians, two things that DO NOT EXIST! Misleading claims are widespread such as the nonsense here: Evidence of effectiveness is thin to non-existant.

Yet another example of the very real risks of taking supplements.

This is an excellent article that explains a lot about the placebo effect. This is something that is often over-hyped by providers of alternative therapies. Now that their favourite therapies have been found not to work they claim they are "treating with placebos" (nonsense)

Please remember that a detox is not something you "do". Adverts for "detox treatments" are common, such as the one below for "Mud Therapy". Note that such adverts rarely say which actual toxins are removed. Your body already does all the detoxing you need (second image)

Both think their treatments work for lots of infant conditions (they actually work for nothing at all). Here are a couple of example adverts - one chiro, one osteo - see the similarities. All nonsense! 2/2

There is a lot of similarity between #chiropractic and #osteopathy - similar histories, similar treatment approaches, etc. Nowhere is that similarity more obvious than their approach to "treating" babies. Both talk about "birth trauma" (nonsense) both use cranial (nonsense) 1/2.

Alder Hey Children's Hospital warns of increases in Measles cases which has left several children "seriously unwell": This is an example of the harm that can be caused by antivax nonsense, including what's happening currently in the US from RFK Jr & others.
