    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)
