Default perhaps i was not clear...

and i would like to clarify my position based on my experience with a chiro that uses the Blair Technique...

and would like to make my point crystal clear...

my life changed in an instant by a chiro that performed this for me, and i have come to learn that i suffered multiple concussions to my brain stem and i am nearly completely debilitated...

this technique is extremely risky and should not be performed...anyone that is offered this as treatment for the wide range of problems chiros claim it will cure should run for the hills...

i learned a very tough lesson...do not allow anyone to touch your neck like this, and never, never, never allow a chiro to do this adjustment to you for any reason...

if you do, you are taking a huge risk on quackery and snake oil.

it is irresponsible and shameless that a chiro would do this in exchange for cash...they are worse than a whore, because with a whore you at least know what you are gonna get...

i was scammed for some beer money and i am now:
