Having said that, chiropractic or any other form of care *can* become mainstream if it conducts statistical trials and meets the same standards as a proposed medical device or tablet. Once the evidence is there, conventional medicine quickly adopts improved new technologies/methods. The claims that conventional medicine is biased against "better" alternative care is clearly nonsense. Conventional medicine is properly biased against unproven claims whether from its own practitioners, from scientists, from eastern gurus, from whoever.

IMHO: for some care modalities to *still* have no peer reviewed, statistically valid trials after years of claims about benefit, is a pointer in itself. If the care is so good, it should be easy to prove whereupon it would become part of conventional medicine. Why hasn't this happened?

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
