Principles in Chiropractic

Ther are untestable "principles" in chiropractic eg. innate intelligence. There are also testable principles, eg the supremacy of the nerve system. The two make up chiropractic. Unfortunately science is only able to study and evaluate testable principles making it inadequate in the validation of chiropractic.

  1. Since we cannot validate the "entirety" of Chiropractic, shouldn't we spend some effort in showing the positive effects of our care on the nervous system, since it is the supreme system of the body and the highway with which innate intelligence travels to coordinate and adapt our physical bodies? At least we could show that, and continue to promote the philosophy and the untestable principles while testing and refining our ability to positively release interference to the nervous system.

  3. half-truths...interesting...how many half-truths add up to the incontrovertable? how many half-truths convert the physician? or, rather, how many half-truths convert the metaphysician into the physician?
