1.0 out of 5 stars Wake up people. This book is so outdated. Don't waste your $$$, September 20, 2005

By	Catherine Prann-misner "Caty loves books" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With all the sound scientific research out there about the benefits of chiropractic, it's hard for me to believe that people still adhere to the 1800's quackery myth. Chiropractic is not a cult, a religion, a scam, etc. It is science at its best. If you read this incredibly biased and incomplete book, please take the time to do some scientific research on the subject as well. I did not find this book to be a good resource at all. It's quite paranoid and full of holes to say the least.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same old Lies, August 7, 2003

By A Customer

This book is filled with the same old lies that have been peddled before. If Chiropractic is so dangerous, why do they have one of the lowest malpractice insurance payments in the health care industry? Seems to me that if people were get harmed or dieing from chiropractic adjustments, Chiropractors would have to have higher insurance payments to cover all that liability. No doubt there are bad chiropractors, just as there are bad physicians, plumbers, teachers, etc. Every field has its losers and scammers. But most of Long's statistics and information seems out-dated, unsubstantiated, and misleading.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Science behind this book! Beware, June 14, 2004

By	life of freedom (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This is a complete 180 degree away from the truth. If you want to see who is working for the $ then look no furhter then Preston Long, Ph'D. Not just some of this book is lies but all of it. If you read James Chestnut,DC's book the "14 Premises" then you would have the complete scientific proof behind how chiropractic works and helps the body to improve its health and well-being!
