He's insane, but at least it's free

An Ohio chiropractor is in trouble with the state over his claims that he can reach back in time to the moment of injury and cure patients. The state board has declared that he is "unable to practice chiropractic according to acceptable and prevailing standards of care due to mental illness, specifically, Delusional Disorder, Grandiose Type."

Well, at least they have a name for it.

He calls his treatment "Bahlaqeem," which according to him "is a made-up word and . . . has no known meaning except for this intended purpose. It does, however, have a soothing vibrational influence and contains the very special number of nine letters."

Well, at least he has a name for it.

But I really don't see why the state board is complaining. His first consultation is free and all subsequent treatments are satisfaction-guaranteed or your money back. It's not like he's swindling people if he tears up their checks when they say it didn't work.

So what if he has delusions of granduer? A 90% satifaction rate isn't bad at all. . . . Unless you consider the price.

Why is this considered so beyond the realms for a chiropractor? I swear, mine is almost that good!!

Whatever works. Setting the patient up for believeing you can heal thm is vastly misunderstimated.. Honestly, it's a lot better of a thing to do than most conventional doctors ever manage.
