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.

Michelangelo’s Hidden Sistine Chapel Message Discovered
Michelangelo may have hidden a message in his painting of god at the Sistine Chapel. The message, which the church would have considered an act of blasphemy portray’s the human brain hidden in a painting
of god.
The painting in question is The Separation of Light from Darkness in which the lumpy features of god’s neck apparently represents a human brain. It’s a well known fact that Michelangelo was an anatomist and inspired largely by the human body.
Neuroanatomists have not yet speculated as to what the message means, however neurosurgeon R Thomas Fields wrote in Scientific American that it could represent:
“The enduring clash between science and religion,” adding that it could have been a comment on the strained relationship Michelangelo felt between God and the Church “intelligence and observation and the bodily organ that makes them possible lead, without the necessity of Church, directly to God.”
Whatever the message may be, it’s sure to generate plenty of discussion as to the merits of the discover and what it really does truly mean.
