In #Malaysia, registered pharmaceuticals and snake oil are sold together on the same shelves in every pharmacy, and are prescribed by doctors.

#Chiropractors are considered medical specialists, and public universities give out degrees in #homeopathy.

This are just some examples of the sheer insanity and crippling inability to distinguish fact from fiction, that has infected the entire nation.

NINETEENTH CENTURY PHYSIOTHERAPY ORIGINS
Mastodon Host

Attached is the main part of a summer 1856 medical journal advertisement for Dr. Taylor's Water Cure Establishment. The second item is my commentary on the ad plus information about the early development of physical therapy in the United States. If you are interested in the histories of physical therapy and massage therapy, my posts (TribeOfJesse) at FamilySearch.org under the names of George Herbert Taylor and George Henry Patchen in the Sources sections may be worth your while to look through. For some reason, the Person record for Dr. George H. Taylor are hard to find at FamilySearch. The easiest thing is to search on the name of his son, William George Langworthy Taylor of Lincoln, Nebraska, and then link to the father. FamilySearch can be a bit hard to use until one gets used to it. Search on a person's name and in the Results list many entries have something like a decorated < symbol. Clicking on it ought to lead to a Person record. My most numerous and extensive posts are under the Sources heading. Click on a Sources entry and it ought to expand considerably. The present entry is under the year 1856 and has the title, "Swedish Movement Cure Department at Dr. Taylor's Water Cure, Summer 1856." None of these words should throw you. It is not an article about hydropathy but rather a post about early physical therapy. Incidentally, Dr. George Henry Patchen went on to become the medical theoretician of chiropractic. W.G. Langworthy Taylor wrote a 1937 textbook about spiritualism titled "Immortality." Dr. Charles F. Taylor's grandson, also named Charles Fayette Taylor, was one of the most important pioneers of aviation. A lot of brilliant people were in this Taylor line.

Seems some people get really upset when I point out that #chiropractors have never spent a day in medical school.

If something can be destroyed by such a simple fact, it deserves to be destroyed.
