Multiple sclerosis has a common viral culprit, opening doors to new approaches

Did you read the parent comment I responded to? Here is someone who is specifically helped by chiropractics. So that it doesn’t work on let’s say 95% doesn’t mean that 5% gets a genuine improvement. The thing is just better knowledge of what chiropractics is useless for and when it makes a genuine difference.

Generalizing that all is a quack/placebo doesn’t help move us forward in such a case. The end conclusion is better information and dissemination to doctors and health practitioners so they know when to refer.

Yes I did, and I disagree with you. Did you read my comment? Anecdotes don't mean that you can't generalize the idea that medical professionals should not refer patients to quacks. If chiropractics has some placebo effect or other effect in some specific cases does not make it okay to refer this serious undiagnosed nerve problems to them, that's just ludicrous.
