Chiropractors. It’s quackery performed by scam artists and idiots. A “ghost” told a crazy man about this magic during a seance, and his son saw a way to make a buck. The only thing it’s proven to do is cause paralysis.
I do want to say that not all chiropractors claim to be able to cure everything with adjustments. Some are more like physical therapists. In fact my actual physical therapist did what a chiropractor does a few times. And I did feel better. But I have met plenty of the snake oil salesman type as well. Saying they can cure cancer with all sorts of things. Grifter gunna grift, no matter what name you slap on them.
In the same vein, homeopaths, and psychics that take advantage of vulnerable people (aka all of them)
I miss James Randi…
Have you followed Captain Disillusion by any chance? Similar vibe.
Sure have, CD is the best
wonder how less popular all that shit would be if the US just jad proper affordable/accessible healthcare like the most pf the rest of the modern world
Fun fact, in Europe a lot of countries will pay for your homeopathy. It actually might be a bigger thing there.
