Tanzania

TanzaniaSo I have made my way down to Tanzania from Kenya on a little bus The road to get here was bumpy and merciless. When we reached the border we had to get out of the bus and walk a 100 meters to the border patrol. Along the 100 meters were hundreds of scammers swarming all of us and trying to sell us fake goods. Be aware fellow travelers Although Tanzania and Kenya have a very similar cu

Grand Canyon Is this the way to Amarillo

There we were dropped off at the Rental Car Centre and picked up our car which we were going to drive all the way to Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Following the directions of the Budget staff we promptly got lost and drove around a little before finding our way onto the highway

Brief Note: The Chiropractic Subluxation is Dead

The General Chiropractic Council, a UK-wide statutory body with regulatory powers, has just published a new position statement on the chiropractic subluxation complex:

The chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex is an historical concept but it remains a theoretical model. It is not supported by any clinical research evidence that would allow claims to be made that it is the cause of disease or health concerns.

They remind chiropractors that they must make sure their own beliefs and values do not prejudice the patient’s care, and that they must provide evidence-based care. Unfortunately, they define evidence-based care as

clinical practice that incorporates the best available evidence from research, the preferences of the patient and the expertise of practitioners, including the individual chiropractor her/himself. [emphasis added]

This effectively allows “in my experience” and “the patient likes it” to be considered along with evidence, effectively negating the whole point of evidence-based medicine.
