It's sort of like the guy in a car accident complaining of back pain and can't work. His x-rays, CT and MRI are all negative, the neurologist finds nothing objective, neither does the orthopedist. So now he goes to 2 places----a chiropractor (yuk) and Dan Newlin while he applies for SSDI. He goes to court for disability with testimony from the chiropractor (again yuk), conveniently not presenting the x rays, CTs, MRIs, nor the opinion of the orthopedist or neurologist as evidence. The judge then grants him disability, and the rest of us are supporting him for the rest of his life (or until age 65).
The last one of these I got drawn into I later saw working on the roof of a building hauling 75 pound bundles of shingles up a 20 foot ladder.

So the moral of the story is we still don't know. But from experience, I always look at these cases where there is substantial secondary gain with a jaded eye.

Why worry so much about the FEW LITTLE GUYS, the LITTLE GUYS taking advantage of the SYSTEM? WHITE collar CRIME is so much more harmful to society than BLUE collar crime. Look at Jeff Bezos and ALL the others recently exposed. That costs America tons more. And Chiropractors fill a need between nurses and Doctors, which may be filled by medical A.I. in the future. There IS a need because many Doctors become very arrogant and egotistic and HMOs and have stacked the deck to drive prices for their services upward. Doctors do NOT have enough time for each individual patient. Doctors have THEMSELVES created the NEED for Chiropractors. They are the ones to blame.
