You know how anti-vax people complain about “big pharma”? Well, there’s big everything these days, in the form of lobbyists. Homeopathy, acupunture, chiropractice, ayurveda, and many other non-medical, scientifically disproven practices get health benefit coverage because there are associations, earning billions of dollars, lobbying for it.

Half the “Drs” on YouTube who are boasting miraculous ways of improving your health are actually chiropractors, which is appalling. The real MDs have a note on their videos stating they are real MDs, and they don’t sell miracles – because, as actual medical doctors, they can’t publicly state untruths without suffering consequences from the medical orders. Chiropractors can say whatever they want because they don’t even need a licence to practice.
