Why Doesn't My Doctor Know This?

Why is a Chiropractor writing a book giving people treatment advice for an Auto-Immune condition for which he does not have the education or legal authority to treat?

I am not on a "high horse" at all and do not appreciate the inflammatory post suggesting I am.

If someone wishes to pursue natural and holsitic that is their right to do so. However it is, very simply; dangerous and misleading to attempt to push someone to ignore the advice of their Physician and to stop medications and treatments prescribed by that physician.

Also, in the State of Ohio, as in all 50 states in the United States you must have a Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy degree to practice medicine legally within that state.

According to Ohio Law (4731.091) to even qualify to take the exam to be allowed to practice as a physician the applicant must:

(1) Hold a diploma from a medical school or osteopathic medical school that, at the time the diploma was issued, was a medical school accredited by the liaison committee on medical education or an osteopathic medical school accredited by the American osteopathic association and have successfully completed not less than nine months of graduate medical education or its equivalent as determined by the board;

(2) Hold certification from the educational commission for foreign medical graduates and have successfully completed not less than nine months of graduate medical education through the first-year level of graduate medical education or its equivalent as determined by the board;

(3) Be a qualified graduate of a fifth pathway training program as recognized by the board under section 4731.092 of the Revised Code and have successfully completed, subsequent to completing fifth pathway training, not less than nine months of graduate medical education or its equivalent as determined by the board.

Nothing you have posted concerning his CV indicates he has met ANY of these requirements.

You might also be surprised to know that running triathalons and marathons does not qualify one to practice medicine. I have had many x-rays in my life, but I am not allowed to work as a Nuclear Engineer because I don't have the educational background or licensure.
