Chirotalk and John Badanes
So one day I was searching for stuff about the ACN. and came across this forum that was talking about a cap on chiropractic care and how it is a good thing for chiropractors to be denied by the insruance companies.
NOT knowing this was a board run by those who are against chiropractic I posted to it and put my letter on there to the Attorney General, United Healthcare and the ACN to name a few.
This guy called TEO, (AKA Jahn Badanes) decided to slam me. Ok not big deal. I try to reason with him and explain to him how chiropractic care has helped me a lot. Well he wanted me to talk about all other things like how would I decide if a chakra balancing would be of any use. I pointed out that the conversation was not about that it was about the ACN, Insurance companies and the games they are playing. He had written me a personal letter. In the first paragraph he writes
[quote]The fact is, your condition can not be helped or even managed with “chiropractic” (whatever that is). Chiropractors can’t affect degenerative changes, vertebrae don’t go in and out and chiropractors don’t “adjust” them, and scoliosis is a bum deal that chiropractors can’t stabilize, never mind reverse. This must frustrating for you, I know, because you feel you benefit from visiting your chiropractor. I’m not saying you don’t. They’re just not medical benefits that you are experiencing.

He also said I was a hopeless case on the board. I guess because I believe in chiropractic care.
Well I decided that I would use the first paragraph in one of my posts to make a point about his agenda
He writes me a second letter
[quote] I don’t recall giving you permission to post my private mail to you. Do you imagine that I would have sent a private message to you if I had intended for you to post it or any part of it?
I have removed the portions of your post that I sent you in my private message and left your comments in tact.

So without warning this guy has banned me. It says nothing in the TOS about not posting email or anything like that.
Of course what can be expected from a guy who is a total asshole and tells you, you are a hopeless case?
I had predicted to those on the board that he would probably bann me Gods did I have his number.
I find it kind of funny and self rewarding to know I have not lost my touch in being able to tell the personality of a person.
Oh if you want to know about this jerk who doesn’t practice any more but is now in the pharmacutical business you just have to goolge his name.
BTW his rating as a chiropractor was 0. Which I find interesting.
Another person who had written about this guy raised a very good question……
Maybe it wasn’t that chiropractic was bad but that John Badanes was a bad chiropractor.
