Not my screenshot please don’t comment.
So basically:
- He went to Ireland with his vaccinated new wife.
- While there he got covid, but she didn’t. Probably because she was vaccinated.
- He recovered but ended up with long covid.
- To fix a completely misdiagnosed issue, his parents took him to a quack chiropractor, who tweaked his neck the wrong way and caused him to have a stroke.
But yeah, the real reason for all his problems is a magical contagious vaccine. I swear this reality is so fucked because of these people.
I know covid is associated with weird clotting issues, I’d bet money that combined with the “adjustment” contributed to the stroke. If any of the story is true ofc
Vertebral artery dissection. Very common chiropractic caused stroke. Vision changes are common in it.
Can also happen at the hair stylist (crazy crazy rare), the chair they wash your hair in puts strain on the neck in a similar fashion to a chiropractic ‘adjustment’.
I get migraines after a hair appointment. Thought for years it was from the chemicals in the hair products. After a discussion with my physio about my migraines, he suggested not having my hair washed for the same reason he rants about chiropractors. Next appointment, I arranged to arrive with my hair already washed and still damp - no migraine after. (I quite like the stylist that allowed this for me, she told me she now suggests to her clients who get migraines after having their hair done they do the same, hopefully with similar results as me.)
Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn’t make him less of one if so.
Why would you go to a chiropractor for any medical problem? Get a tarot reading and a horoscope, the results will be just as useful.
My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.
I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.
Worth noting that the chance of a stroke being triggered by a chiropractic neck adjustment is extremely low, but it does happen, and I bet if you look at stroke cases a good chunk of them recently had a neck adjustment. That said, chiropracters are complete horse shit.
There is some (light) evidence that some of the adjustments may be beneficial with some back issues, etc.
Having said that, the field of chiropractic medicine is, just like homeopathy, medical quackery and should be outlawed.
The few accidentally beneficially things should be included with other medical fields, and this nonsense should just be prohibited.
I’m tired of the vast majority of people holding on to childhood beliefs and just letting that grow and fester to the point where they believe absolute nonsense. Yeah, pyramids under my bed will help me sleep because they channel my chakras on June the 15th because I’m a scoprio, or some other utter nonsense. Same as praying to Jesus as night. All of it is at the level of still believing in Santa Claus and the easter bunny. Grow up, become responsible adults, please.
I went to a chiropractor until she told me that the inventor of the practice had once cured someone’s blindness.
“Bullshit,” I immediately thought, and never went to any chiro again.
Some of them dabble in physical therapy and do some useful stuff. I think that may be why they keep a better reputation than, say, homeopaths.
My mom goes to a quack chiropractor. He mostly sells her vitamins (by magically divining what she’s deficient in using straight-up fraud “kinesiology”) but keeps her believing by occasionally giving her medically significant advice. He’s still grifting her decades later off of saying she was deficient in magnesium after she complained about constipation. Yeah mom, it worked because that stuff is a laxative. No mom, he couldn’t tell you were deficient because your arm was stronger while holding a vial of magnesium. He’s just changing how hard he pushes on you. It’s fraud mom.
I was willing to accept that maybe there’s some actual medical use for chiropractors except now a large chiropractic chain is one of my clients at work and along with their rampant HIPPA non-compliance I’ve gotten to see how the sausage is made, how much of a conveyer belt they designed that does not stop long enough for any real personalized patient care I trust them less than I ever did (another client is the fact that they also own a chain of “natural medicine” stores which they often place in the same buildings as their chiropractic clinics)
I’ve had a good experience with a chiropractor I’ve been to. Did some “adjustments” and gave me some exercises to work out my muscle problems where I’ve been feeling pain in my neck and shoulders. Did those exercises everyday and they definitely helped out. I haven’t been back in like a year or two with no plans of coming back.
Sounds like unlicensed physical therapy.
Though in the past my parents sent me to a chiropractor and I’ll be honest getting your neck precisely cracked the right way does feel magical.
I wouldn’t even know where to start unwinding this Gordian knot of reasoning.
he fucked his wife and caught the covid vaccine… because that’s how that works
Me reading this
I can translate. Someone told them that being infected with covid was effectively equivalent to being vaccinated, and they took that the wrong way. The rest is just fear of things they don’t understand.
