I have had this blog running for a few months now, trying to share quality information, (and yes not all of it is what I have written), and even have some spirited intellectual debate. Unfortunately we have stumbled upon a chiro basher, chiro hunter etc. He chooses to argue with emotion and general claims akin to what one would find in a tabloid, going tit for tat and never revealing who he is. Myself and Dr. Kane are public health care professionals while our heckler from cyber space chooses to hide behind his keyboard. I have decided to not have anymore of his comments posted until he decides to share with us who he is and more of his “traditional medical background”. It is my blog, just like a columnist, I get to post my views, if you come to the table properly, maybe I’ll share yours too.

Silence those who disagree with you. Very enlightened doc. “Dr. Kane” was fighting the battle for you anyway.
I’m an advanced practice nurse – a nurse practitioner (family practice). My cousin is a chiro and very happy with his chosen profession. If his/your patients are happy with the services being provided – I have no problem with that. Why would I?
Much of “traditional medicine” is still a relative crapshoot as well. It’s all an art or inexact science at best.
I assume you don’t need my full name in order to post this. You have chosen the public limelight, not me.
Congrats on your original posting. It’s nice to hear from you.
Dr. Nathanson- I think you raise a very important issue. Your blog, as far as I can tell, is intended to be in the best interest of the general public by providing accurate and evidenced based information. The person to whom you refer, aka “former res,” clearly is not interested in a dialogue which is either evidenced based or fair to the public but instead wants to promote his/her slanted agenda of hate and discrimination. The worst part if the lack of courage to provide their true identity and, therefore, be held accountable on any level for their comments. That ceretainly is not in the public’s best interest and in my opinion you made the right decision. I look forward to more posts about conservative, safe,and effective management of health.
Brian, love reading the blog, keep it up! Like many things we do, 99% of people will understand and value your work while 1% just won’t get it. Don’t bother with that 1%, the rest of us are right here with you!
