Question
Hi, I stumbled on this page by accident, maybe you can give me your opinion on this : My mother-in-law (70 yrs old) recently attended a seminar at the senior center she frequents. A presentation was given by a local chiropractor offering a free consultation. My m-i-l signed up & visited the chiropractor. She was x-rayed & told her neck was very crooked and she needed treatment. This treatment would help her with all her problems including her allergies. Unfortunately Medicare would not cover this, but financing was available. The cost for treatment is $2000.00 (this determined after only one visit). I feel certain she is being scammed. What would you suggest ?  Thanks

Dear AllExperts User:

Here is an update on the petition project I emailed you about previously.  A few changes were needed to correct and clarify the petition, requiring me to restart using a new one.  The means that everyone who signed needs to resign the new form which is located at http://www.petitiononline.com/ajb2/petition.html

There really seems to be a good deal of support for this initiative to clean up misinformation about chiropractic in the most widely used career sourcebook for students.

Please visit the site, review the new petition and add your support.  I also am asking everyone to contact as many friends and family members as possible to get the message out either by emailing them directly or passing a message on to distribution lists and discussion forums.  I am certain that health professionals, students and smart consumers would appreciate learning more about this subject and join us.  If enough attention is raised I am confident we can make a difference and get this fixed!

Thank you again for your support,
