Dear Mr. Connor, I called your office yesterday and talked to your receptionist.
I have the recent diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. I have tried everything-
the most recent being spinal injections- which last only short term.I
am a very active forty-something and this neck pain started about 11 or
12 years ago when I was body building and lifting fairly heavy weights.
Obviously, I had to give this up. Now even lifting light weights for toning
causes pain. My problem is in the area C5,C6 with narrowing of the foramen.I
was also told the fluid in those discs are gone. I had right shoulder
pain with this but that has disappeared since I received the injections.
I guess I wanted to know if your book addresses this problem or more precisely,
can your methods help this type of condition. In case there is a problem
with this message,my e-mail address is (deleted for confidentiality) Thanks
for your time. Sincerely, Penny H
Dear Ms.. H:
You may have spondylosis on your X-Ray, but your description of the pain
in the neck is classic for disc disease caused by a piece of normally
centralized disc material that was pushed out posteriorily and creates
a fulcrum effect pain. All of this is described for free on my website.
I would suggest that you read through the PHYSICAL REALITY section and
the SELF-DIAGNOSIS section. You have apparently exhausted the relief offered
by the routinely available medical arts and it would appear that you are
either going to get relief from your own devices or not achieve it. Fourty-something
is too young to look forward to a life of pain. It is my impression that
your condition is ideal for my method; the longer you wait, the longer
the spine remodels with the disc out and the arthritis (spondlyosis) that
you have continues to eat away at the bones. You see, when a disc is "out,"
it induces inflammation. This inflammation is destructive to the bone.
The cortico-steriods used reduced the inflammation temporarily, but the
source of the inflammation, the piece of disc material, has not been addressed.
It is not risk free and there is no guarantee that my method will work,
but it worked on me when I was in my fourties and I am now, relatively
pain-free for 4 years. It took me a year to do it, because it takes practice
and knowledge, which for me came at my own expense. If you want to expend
the time and effort, all the information is there for $15. If you want
to jump to the head of the class, come for a visit. I can't promise you
relief, but I will say that I will do my best. You can call my staff and
ask them how many people leave with relief they have seen. You can read
the testimonials in my website--they are all legitimate.

Dr. Oconnor,
I downloaded and read most of your book. I have been suffering buttock
and leg pain for almost 3 months. Your story spoke to me as if my own
diary. Just reading your book made me feel better. Then doing the
hip-hang reduced pain 50%. If only I had found your site 3 months ago.
I have numbness in toes, pain in ankles, pinching and pain in posterior
right buttock, no pain near the vertebrae. My doctor was very
ineffectual saying, "it'll be gone in 3 months." Well that didn't
happen. Physical Therapy and even Acupuncture made it worse. I had an
X-ray which revealed nothing. I had to switch doctors to get an MRI
prescribed but that won't be until Friday. I am continuing the
hip-hangs at least 3 times a day although I'm getting a little sore. I
must admit there is some increased pain down the leg while doing the hip
hang and rolling with pain side up. I guess this is normal when moving
damaged material around. Anyway I will keep you posted.
BTW: Your web site is not quite as exciting as your information. It
would be an immense help to have the entire book in one PDF. Usually
people who come to your site are in pain and in my case could not sit
or
stand for very long. I kept at it because I was desperate for help.
Please make it easier for our fellow back pain sufferers. I don't think
you will miss out on any revenues if you do it this way. Even if your
pdf is copied and sent worldwide, your reputation will spread much more
rapidly and positively, the world will then truly beat a path to your
door.
Thankfully Yours and have a great, painfree New Year,

Subject: Spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis - will maneuvers
help?
Dr. O'Connor,
I have been diagnosed with L5-S G.I. spondylolisthesis, L5 Spondylolysis,
and Spinal Stenosis with L5 nerve root irritation.
Do you think your maneuvers might help me, or have I got too much going
on here?
Many thanks,
Karen Price
Vancouver, Canada
Ms. Price:
Probably not. It may, but I think if the spondylotic component is the
source of your pain it will require a fusion operation to resolve.
You can try it, though if you go very slowly and gently.
It's a $15.00 gamble. If you can learn to re-position the vertebrae and
keep them in place using my technique, you may benefit. I personally think
that a minor component of most people with end-stage degenerative discs
have a spondylosisthesis-type slippage of one vertebrae on another. That
can be helped by my technique, but it requires an ongoing adjustment process
in which you constantly are monitoring your position and realigning the
vertebrae. The problem is that there is no support structure between the
anterior components and posterior components of the vertebral column.
However, if that were the only issue, one would think that those persons
born with the spondylosis would have back pain their entire lives. This
is not the case. It usually comes later in life. It is reasonable to assume
that the pain actually comes from disc trauma that is less tolerated in
the presence of spondylosis. I think the component of pain that is disc-specific
could be somewhat relieved with my method. You would have to try and see.
I can't represent that to people because I don't have the data to support
it. As for disc-related pain in the absence of a spondylotic component,
I can certify my method is the best.

Eventually I couldnt walk with a shooting pain down my leg
SO i go to a chiropractor who fixes me in a flash (moves the pain back
to my back - centarlizing - so that i can walk again - but now my back
is VERY sore) - ice and voltarens and all that & after 3 weeks i go
back to a VERY qualified instructor who starts working with me and promises
to sort me out ....
THEN i gradually start getting better (he is very gentle) & i then
at one session I do 1 "roll up" movement and BAM my back is
sore again and i start panicking - Chiro - Ice - Voltarens - MRI - Surgeon
- Surgery - HHHHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What can i do ????
SO i started surfing the WEB and i started reading and reading and reading

Hi,
is there a money back offer on ur schemes if the book is not helpful to

Thanks!
Syed Faisal
Mr. Faisal:
$29.95 is the price of a children's book or a dinner out on the town.
If you don't want to risk such a major sum of money, go out and pay a
doctor who doesn't know the first thing about back pain 10 times that
amount to get nothing more than a prescription for pain meds or physical
therapy that only hurts you more most of the time. He will probably also
reassure you that most people's pain goes away spontaneously after 6 weeks.
What they don't tell you is that it will come back, over and over again
for the rest of your life until you figure out how to stop it.
Evidently, you missed the point in seeing the immense amount of information
I gave away for free just so the reader could establish in their minds
that I have studied the subject and know what I am talking about. Everything
within reason was given for free to assure that the reader has the highest
probability of benefit. Do you actually think that I would have expended
all that effort and expense for a "scheme?" All the testimonials
are true. If that isn't enough, then, you are free to stay in pain the
rest of your life.
The videos are viewed over the internet when you buy the subscription.
As for giving out copies of the videos--I can't see letting anyone have
copies so that they can reproduce them and sell them in some other format.
I have no other copies of the actual book left, but you are free to go
to Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0966499115/qid=1096550519/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-4582732-8656852?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
where you will find the original book (without the videos) on sale for
as much as $200. That is what some people will pay for the information
once they have seen it. The website has more information than the book.
There are no refunds because the degree of benefit depends upon the readers
participation and effort. If a person doesn't get benefit, it most likely
is because they just thought they would get an instant, magic, fix without
taking the time or investing the effort to understand it. I have demonstrated
to my satisfaction, the satisfaction of countless others who are pain
free, and the satisfaction of the law that this method is legitimate and
effective. If that isn't enough for you, you will just have to go somewhere
else. If you find any other source of information that tells you more
about the nature of the pain, how to diagnose it, and a more reasonable
or rational explanation of its source--please send me the web address
so that I can read it to make sure they didn't steal the ideas from me.

Dr. O'Connor,
I can't tell you how excited I was in finding your Website. I am a Physical
Therapist at a large hospital in Long Beach, CA. and I work with many
Ortho patients daily, many of them acute care patients coming out of surgeries
with fusions etc. Additionally I have been, in the last few years, changing
my own stretching and exercise prograom to correspond to your ideas of,
NEVER DOING ANY STRETCH OR EXERCISE without first putting my back into
a comfortably extended TRACTION. You can see now why I was very much at
home studing your technique. I also underwent, some twenty years ago,
a L4-L5 herniated disk surgery and subsequently was set upon a life long
journey of self learning and self care (what I really love about your
technique!). I will take your advise and pay the very reasonable 29.95.
Thanks so much again.
Patrick Mathews
562 8602148
Mr. Matthews:
Good to hear from you. I'm gratified that you comprehend the contribution
to back pain that I have made. You will find that there is no better mechanical
solution than that which I have defined and perfected. I wish I had copies
available for you and people like you. Too bad you didn't have the information
before your surgery; however, better late than never. You have to be careful
iwth your back because where they went through the intervertebral ligament
is weakened and scarred. With my techinque, if it works in you, your back
can be expected to re-model in the less painful configuration rather than
further degenerate into a fusion.
For even post fusion patients, my method protects the discs adjacent to
the fusions (which takes on all the mechanical stress of the fused joint).
So, The O'Connor Technique serves as an excellent rehabilitation tool
for post surgical people because it prevents the further pain generated
as the adjacent discs degenerate. Most people have more than one disc
level damaged by the forces that caused the disc(s) that they had to have
fused. Those levels can appear normal on NMRI, but none the less be sources
of unremitting pain.
You will discover that my method makes the most sense and gets the best
results because it is so highly effective. You will start getting amazing
results unheard of by any other technique. You should see what I can do
for people, I am literally a miracle worker. People who have been to other
practitioners without relief and in pain for years, walk in to my office
crippled with back pain yet leave normal. It has become routine for me.
I suspect that if you practice my method on yourself, you will stay out
of pain and functional a lot longer than otherwise. You will find no better
method of getting out of acute pain. In my literatue, I have tried to
cover every contingency that arose in the 20 years I have been studying
the bio-mechanics of the disc. Be certain to download the PRINCIPLES Section
and refer to it often. Keep me posted on your progress or if you don't
understand anything. If you run into any patients who need to get out
of pain and can make the trip up here to Vacaville, CA (midway between
San Franciso and Sacramento) I can relieve the pain and restore the range
of motion in the majoritiy of patients a majority of the time. I can do
the same thing with torticollis and what I have defined as "compensatory
scoliosis." I have also defined an alternative explanation for the
pain and lost range of motion that comes from "Whiplash" and
have proved the superiority of my version by instantly relieving most
of the patients' pain and restoring their range of motion; however, it
is not without its risks.
If you can arrange a group of chronic pain sufferers who want relief,
I can come down there and teach a class. I have so many "tricks up
my sleeve" that they couldn' t all be put in the book or the website.
I'll teach you the method for free if you can get me some media coverage
or a celebrity with back or neck pain who wants to avoid surgery. If someone
has the assets to pay for the service, I will fly down and fix them. I
am so confident by my experience that I can genuinely state that there
is no better practitioner for relieving pain of spinal origin in the world.
If you had this information 20 years ago, you would probably have been
able to avoid surgery (unless you had a traumatic extrusion). You can
trust that all the TESTIMONIALS are legitimate and if you know what other
therapeutic modalities are out there, you will see that my method eclipses
them all.
Forgive me for sounding egocentric, but what I have done is discovered
a means to reconcile the William's (flexion exercises) with McKenzie's
(extension exercises) and have perfected the technique of replacing displaced
disc material. No one before me has explained the paradoxical finding
that some people are helped by predominately flexion and others by the
very opposite strategy--extension; yet they have the same condition. If
you take the time to read the preliminary introduction in the first Section
of my webbook, I explain this discovery. Once one understands my technique,
a whole new perspective is achieved in the understanding of the pain's
origins. This technique is light years ahead of any other therapeutic
modality.
If you find me some patients who can afford to bring me down there, I
will demonstrate how I do it. I'd love to get on Opra's show. See what
you can do, and you will benefit by it immensely if you acquire this new
skill. It most certainly can be practiced by physical therapists because
many times, I don't even have to "lay hands" on people to take
them out of pain. Beleive it or not, there is nothing more important in
the advancement of your career than to understand, practice, and apply
what I have discovered.

Dear Mr. Mathews:
It might be quite a while before I can finish the next edition of the
book,
and I am out of copies now .
I have to make some artistic changes to make it more acceptable to the
book-buying public, give it a new cover, and clarify some details. Instead,
I have been focusing on getting
the website more functional with video and redesign. I have put the
reprinting
on the back burner and there haven't been enough orders for the book to
motivate me to go through another printing of even the old edition. Also,
printing costs have escalated such that until I get enough books to warrant
a large order, I can't tie up the thousands of dollars it would cost to
make
the new edition profitable. So, I
would encourage you to rely on the website for awhile for any information.
The same information (and more) is all
there, not the least of which are videos that demonstrate the techniques.
In that a video gives so much informa! tion, it appears the most optimal
means
of getting the information across with the hard copies available through
downloads.
Rather than holding out for the book, I would recommend using the
website, watching the videos, downloading the particular maneuvers (with
the
easy reference guide) that are pertinent to your pain problem area(s),
as
well as the PRINICPLES Chapter for future reference.
To my understanding, this information is nowhere else available in any
form.
You can go to Amazon.com for used copies, I see them there frequently;
however they get pricey. I have seen it sell for as much as $210. The
last copy I saw sold was for $145. Copies
went a couple of months back for about $80 each. For the latest price
used
go to:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0966499115/qid=1096550519/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-4582732-8656852?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
If you are in significant pain, money is not such an object, and you
seem to
have a disc problem (as defined by the DIAGNOSING YOUR OWN DISC link
algorithm) that you
think I can help, you might just consider a trip out here. Even though
that
may seem like throwing money towards a risky proposition because it may
not
be successful, it is certainly better than resorting to surgery that may
be unnecessary or living with the pain and the prospect of worsening.
At the very least, you will determine if surgery is your only reasonable
option and if you are like the majority of people I treat, your bad back
will get markedly better.! . In one session, I
will provide you a private lesson on the technique with a guided maneuver
to
determine if your disc material can be recentralized with the optimal
technique use administered by myself. The majority of people I have treated
in this manner leave with nearly pain-free results and full range of motion
restored. If your back problem doesn't respond, and you understand and
practice the technique properly and still are without success-then surgery
is the only likely solution. I will also give you my opinion upon what
would
be the most optimal surgical solution. A week doesn't go by that I don't
solve someone's back pain problem. If you want to query me about whether
your spinal pain is likely to be amenable to my technique, send me a description
of the problem and I won't let you come all this way if I don't think
I can help you.
During August/September of 2004, a twenty-three year old girl with a
high
lumbar disc who wor! ked for a doctor was told that she had a kidney problem.
Within 45 minutes of my time, she was out of pain and had her range of
motion restored. Also there was a girl with a thoracic disc referred to
me
by a pain management doctor who specialized in physical medicine and rehabilitation
that couldn't be
helped by the routine, standard, physical therapy regimens or chiropractors.
She was better in 2 weeks (it took two visits one week apart, however
when a person comes to me from a long distance, I spend as much time as
necessary to either put their disc in or determine that my method cannot
resolve their problem ). Then
there was this big guy who couldn't stand up straight due to a lumbar
disc.
I saved his vacation and his future (he
didn't know it but he could have stayed in that pain for years.) Two weeks
ago I fixed a woman who's back was painful for 9 years since the birth
of
her daughter. She walked out pain free. Took me about an hour! to do it,
and
two manipulations; but she is now empowered to manage her own back (because
I teach the basics of the technique and the method of self-manipulation
as
the primary component of the visit) and is
doing just fine ever since.
I frankly don't have enough time to acquire all of the testimonials of
people I took out of pain. The representative testimonials that are on
the
website are all genuine and legitimate. You can call 707-446-0422 and
ask
my staff, they will tell you frankly what I can do because they have watched
me fixing
others. The really unique curiosity about my experience is that I see
people
all the time that I have taken out of pain over the years and they
non-chalantly say that they don't have a problem anymore. Then, I see
others
who, around the same time period, had pain but never came to me and they
relate being in pain for years. More often than not, as I teach them the
technique, I ! am able to put their
discs in and they go on about their business. The interesting thing is
that
had they come to me back then, they would have spared themselves years
of
pain and disability .
My method and my existence is not widely known. My website is very
insignificantly advertised. Frankly, most people probably don't believe
I
can do what I say I can do. Well, they just have to learn to live with
their
pain, I guess. However, I am always running into people I know I could
have
fixed years ago but they never knew about me or my method. So, they suffered
needlessly.
The thing that they don't know is how long they can actually stay in
pain if
the mechanical problem is not revealed to them and the solution is not
given. People really don't know that such a change in fate is available
for
so little money comparatively speaking.
As an addenda, you should know that
the longer your disc stays out, the longer the inflammatory changes are
damaging your spinal bones. If your spine re-models, as it does over years,
it can remodel with the disc out and then it will be permanent. Sorry,
but
that is the way it works.
In order to keep my office open, I have to charge about $300 per hour.
Comparatively speaking, the
last two times I took my car into the shop I left with bills around $450.00.
One
was to change a water pump and the other was to fix the air conditioner
(which they didn't even fix). I can say that I have never charged a patient
more than $450.00 to fix their backs. So, if I fix a back, and take a
person
out of pain, and teach them how to avoid pain for the rest of their lives,
I
am paid about what a couple hours of a mechanic's time is worth.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any less than that compensation reasonable.
I shouldbe charging much more.
In closing, just wanted to tell you that waiting for the book probably
isn't
the best option you have. You have to make the best decision you can.
One
cannot help but be impressed by the amazing amount of clinical effort
and
actual work that I put into that book and website (I wrote it all myself,
right down to the illustrations), and it speaks to my knowledge of
the subject matter. I have never seen any other physician or practitioner
produce
equivalent proof that they know as much as I do about treating back pain.
You have to decide whether the risk is worth taking and if the chance
of
solving your pain problem is of sufficient necessity to cash in some of
the
monetary credits you have accumulated. If you do not want to spend alot
of your money on yourself, the website has most of all the answers, but
it takes much more time and
effort on your part to learn it. Nevertheless, many other people have
been
successful an! d there is no reason why you can't be for $15.00. There
are
very few people who can't afford that-they just have to invest the time
and
effort to study it and practice it. Alternatively, they can come out to
Vacaville, California (midway between Sacramento and San Francisco) and
let me give them my best effort.
Best of Luck,

If you didn't have trauma as the source, the probability is very high
that you simply have a piece of disc material that went out of place and
with some effort, you can get it back in so long as you go gently and
don't use any force.
Most likely, the reason why you have the pain is because your circumduction
is stopped by the piece of disc material. Look on the website under the
heading Diagnosing your disc and there is a technique for proving that
is the source of the problem. The intermittancy says that the piece is
mobile. When it is out, it hurts, when in it doesnt.. It most certainly
would be worth your while to spend the time learning the techique.

Would you be kind enough to tell me if the O'Connor Technique can help
my neck before I order the book?
Thank you,
Masami Aito
==========================================================================================
I am a long-sufferer of back pain! In
my long quest for pain relief, it is the first time I have found someone
who has made it so clear to me that my problem is disc related and what
I should do about it. I
have done lots of sports in my youth and have hurt my spine several times.
Over the years I have gradually reduced the activities that hurt, but
have continued walking(which does not hurt), and doing sets of strengthening
and stretching exercises, which now I understand have damaged my back
more than improved it.
I am a woman who will be soon completing 64 years. I have read through
all the sections of your Webook and I have the confidence that with help
of the spinal pain relief maneuvers, I still have a chance to improve
my back. I would like to purchase a membership subscription, but I live
in India, how I do make the payment? I have relatives living in the U.S.
Is it possible that I request them to pay the subscription on my behalf?
I will be extremely grateful if I could be advised as to how I can go
about it.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours sincerely
U.M.Patel

Subject: Re: Sorry to be a pest. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have been able to get in now. I have tried the maneuvers for the neck
and have obtained relief. I will continue and feel confident that all
is well. Your explanations are excellent, and I appreciate the depth to
which you have obviously gone to explain how to do what is needed.
Thank you doctor. I want to honor my end of this, and must make certain
you receive payment. I do not know if the card was accepted. Even if it
was, I insist on making sure you receive payment. Let me know where I
might send a check and I will do so ASAP.
I will refer as many as I know suffering from back problems to your location.
Thank you for being there and willing to help.
In the future if you need futher testimonials, kindly let me know. I
can see this is the direction I needed.
In gratitude
Jeffrey
Jeff:
I can always use a good testimonial describing how long you have suffered,
the practitioners who were ineffective, how much money was spent on other
medical modalities, the actual simplicity of the technique, how rapidly
the relief was recognized, and the genuinely uniqueness of the offering
in the context of your experience. You might add that I spent alot of
time to insure that you got access and wasn't just neglected, after all
$15 isn't really realistic compensation for the actual effort I expended.
If you really want to show your gratitude, send the information to a local
media (newspaper letter to the editor, TV station, radio talk show that
you listen to, etc.) I'm in real danger of not being able to keep the
site up very long because the advertising costs are so high and the return
is so low. Every day you recall how much pain you were in and how it was
taken away should motivate you to try to help others. At least that's
the sort of mindset that motivates me.
Nevertheless, I am actually happy to hear your results; however, for me
that is a very common occurrence. The lucky people who learn about me
or happen to be my patients find out how simple the technique is at removing
their pain bu t really don't appreciate how long they would have suffered
or how they most probably would have gotten worse because the rest of
the medical world is absent such a simple device. And, without some better
exposure to my method, they will undoubtedly remain suffering.
You have just experienced a very unique phenomenon. Some might even consider
it "miraculous" --in that people literally crippled by pain
have it instantly relieved. In essence, by viewing, reading and applying
the information I created and contained in MAKING YOUR BAD BACK BETTER,
you have learned how to alleviate pain and have been made better by the
website's influence alone. It would not be too grandiose nor incorrect
to assert that what has happened to you is historically unique.
Not too long ago, the prospect of such an accomplishment would have bordered
on the fantastic, and, in a sense, been relegated to the IMPOSSIBLE or
MAGICAL because someone in another part of the world, never seeing you
or touching you, took away your pain simply with the transference of images.
If examined to the limits of man's understanding of the physical universe,
the electromagnetic energy that constitutes my being has changed the electromagnetic
constituency of this planet (and perhaps the universe) through solely
an electromagnetic energy transference vehicle (computers and the internet)
such that human pain is being eliminated at a distance without physical
contact. There are people alive today that, if you had claimed years ago
that they could someday sit at a machine without moving parts and take
away pain that had never been relieved by any other means at a site thousands
of miles away--they would have called it science fiction. Our present
sophistication makes that scenario less amazing a feat; yet if you think
about it from a different perspective, there are centuries of people before
you who were denied that pain relief, not to mention a countless number
alive today who might never experience that relief.
You are one of the first to experience a cybermolecular surgery of sorts
in that I sent my intellect out into cyberspace, met with your consciousness,
and stopped your pain at a distance without physically contacting youa
feat that no other human has or could have successfully done before. As
a direct result of my actions, your physical structure was beneficially
altered . If you adhere to my principles, your physical structure will
continue to remodel over time and what would have been an inexorable degenerative
process that leads to disability, depression, and unremitting pain probably
has been largely prevented. That is amazing if you actually take the effort
to think about what really happened. I performed an act that has never
been accomplished in the history of mankind. You, incidently, are one
of the living proofs of its reality. What was done was no small feat;
and it took me years to formulate the understandings, assemble the tools,
and put them to use. It is on par with other great scientific discoveries
and achievements like the cure for leprosy, TB, etc. in its capacity for
relieving suffering; however, it is very much unrecognized. Only someone
who has suffered, as you have and witnessed the relief, can ever hope
to understand the equivalency.

Matt:
I'm a little fatigued by constantly confronting your Chiropractors' delusional
thinking. Yes, people can manipulate their own spines, its not that difficult.
They don't need to schlep up to some quack everytime they need relief.
It is actually pretty simple and the testimonials attest to that. It isn't
$$$ that motivates me, it is pain. I'm not going to let so many people
suffer when they don't have to . On a daily basis now, I am seeing people
who I have released from the agony of back pain and sent on their way
empowered to prevent their own pain..
Live with it, the proverbial "cat is out of the bag;" but don't
you or your buddies worry, the word of my method is getting spread so
slowly that your careers are safe for your lifetimes. The fact of the
matter is I am so honest that I won't refrain from making the perceived
to be outrageous claims that I can alleviate the pain and restore the
range of motion in torticollis, cure certain forms of scoliosis, and immediately
stop the majority of spinal pain in a majority of people. Those claims
are too fantastic for the standard medical community to accept as fact,
so they don't believe me and are disinterested in confirming my method
through scientific study. You believe me, though, because that's why you
are writing to try to convince me to stop.
Rest assured, most people are too lazy to invest the time or too cheap
to buy the information it takes to learn to fix their own problem. I suspect
that the world will be stuck with chiropractors for the forseeable future.
