Mike, I think you have very good reasons to be skeptical for all the factors you stated above and many others. I applaud you for having a little common sense and recognizing such obvious bs. These are attributes that are lacking on this board and across the lyme community as a whole. If alarm bells go off, you are most likely correct. Chiropractors are not medical doctors. If it quacks then it is probably quackery.
The problem is desperation. Lyme sufferers are trapped between a rock and a hard place and after we are rejected by our ID and other traditional docs being told there is nothing wrong or nothing can be done, we just have to live with it, many of us don't accept this answer. So we seek out further action and many times quacks are waiting for us with open arms.
The more desperate people become, the more they are willing to try questionable methods. Then you have delusion and placebo effects and people are convinced that they are x percent cured when they may not be.
It's beyond confusing, but again I applaud you for keeping some form of rational logical thought, because for many these things go by the wayside when searching for a cure. Perhaps this is what is necessary to heal, this leap of blind faith. I just see too many chasing their tails and accepting the 'ya buts' when treatment fails.
Ya you attacked lyme but you didn't address emf's, Ya You killed all the lyme but, your real problem was bart or babs or mold, or x and when you address that, oh you had relapse of lyme or where bitten again and reinfected. And the cycle just goes on and on.
I don't have the solution, but I personally just can't detatch from reality and rational logical thought and jump into the klinghardt wormhole. Just my opinion. Maybe I will be desperate enough at some point, though.
