“Chiropractors at a Crossroads: The Fight for Evidence-Based Treatment and a Profession’s Reputation” (2018-11-01) Paul Benedetti and Wayne
MacPhail write:
""the College of Chiropractors of Ontario
[...] the regulator has a record
of tolerating unscientific claims and unproven practices –
including anti-vaccine statements and the treatment of babies,
children and adults for non-musculoskeletal conditions – instead of
protecting the public from them [...] when the regulator’s inquiries, complaints and reports
committee is presented with evidence from patients that chiropractors
are making unscientific claims, engaging in scare tactics or
promoting unproven treatments for ailments that have nothing to do
with the spine, it takes no action [...]
non-scientific claims made by chiropractors [...] misleading advertising and unscientific claims [...] there is no credible evidence to support such treatments [...] these pseudo-scientific ideas [...]";
why would nonsense have a problem with itself?
"Canadian chiropractor Dr. Clifford Hardick paces in front an auditorium full of Life University chiropractic students in Marietta, Ga. He energetically tells the students gathered on a Monday in June that it is a mistake to treat symptoms such as headache and back pain. He tells them about the power of 'the subluxation' and how it is the root of all disease. 'One cause, one cure,' he booms into the crowd. A chiropractor for more than 50 years, the London, Ont.-based practitioner says in other speeches and interviews that chiropractic spinal adjustments can release the body’s healing powers and correct all manner of disorders, including attention deficit hyperactive disorder, attention deficit disorder, asthma and lupus. Those beliefs make Dr. Hardick a 'vitalist' chiropractor − one who espouses the 19th-century roots of the profession. Vitalists contend that subluxations, or nerve impingements in the spine, can block the healing force they call 'innate energy' [...] vitalist chiropractors [...] vitalists such as Dr. Hardick [...] vitalist chiropractic [...] vitalistic chiropractors [...] 'vitalistic universal principles distinguish chiropractic within the field of healthcare' [...] 'infinite potential which we call innate intelligence' [...] 'the forefront of the vitalistic health revolution' [...] the vitalistic beliefs of the regulator’s leadership [...] God’s healing power [...] innate energy [...] dogma and unfounded vitalistic concepts from a century ago [...]";

naturopaths believe in a similar "vital force" or as I was taught at UBCNM, "god power within you."
"there’s no evidence
subluxations exist. There’s no evidence innate energy flows through
the body [...] no evidence-based health-care profession believes any
of this [...]";
naturopathy get interesting because it falsely blanketly claims it's all science, including the vitalism. Which is fraud, inevitably.
