Effectiveness. Australia’s 1977 Webb Report showed most chiropractic patients share a history of failed medical treatment and of later having received successful chiropractic care for that same disorder. It works!
Deception. Global organised medicine has waged decades of relentless attacks against chiropractic, using the deception of protecting both public and patient interests.
The intensity of medical opposition to chiropractic. A 1979 New Zealand government Report variously described medical opposition to chiropractic as being “remorseless and unrelenting” and “intense and absolute”.
Corruption. The developed world’s governments and, the media owe their first allegiance to global Medicine.
Misuse of medical ethics. It is some fifty years since medical associations in various countries imposed ethic-based boycotts upon the relationship between association members and chiropractors.
Restraint of trade. A US court exposed a medical conspiracy, based on the Iowa Plan, to first contain and eventually eliminate the chiropractic profession, and declared the US ethic-based boycott to be illegal.
The Iowa Plan in Australia. On 27/6/2013 the president of the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia commented: “…Chiropractic is under relentless attack by well-connected and relentless opponents…”
Australia’s Government’s cooperation in eliminating philosophy-subluxation-based chiropractic. When the Iowa Plan came into effect, Iowa’s Palmer Chiropractic College taught philosophy-subluxation-based chiropractic. The Iowa Plan is succeeding in containing and eliminating that in Australia.
Our government has substituted a medicalised version of chiropractic into the National law, effectively legally, eliminating philosophy-subluxation-based chiropractic.
Australia’s Governments give support to both containment and elimination, betraying chiropractic patients.
Evidence-based medicine: “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.”
The National Law is misused to restrict chiropractic to a few evidence-based chiropractic disorders. By its nature, Chiropractic is not evidence-based. Most subluxation-related disorders may never be ‘evidence-based.” Equal treatment under the law demands that the government impose regulations that restrict Medicine to only “evidence-based Medicine”.
