 spaces to put air in between vertebrae!  Scary. Run, run,
 run when you hear something like this.  As far as I
 know this guy has no formal training or certification
 in anything, except he is a former race horse trainer.
 Then he disappears for months, people say he owns a
 restaurant in Missouri and stories like that, and
 reappears again..... >>

Kathy, we have a cowboy "chiropractor" here as well that sure resembles 
that--except I've never known him to do any injecting of anything.  And boy 
howdy, I've sure seen him screw up some horses!  But it is quite a leap in 
logic to compare him to the DVM chiro or the DC chiros with training to deal 
with quadrupeds.  Sorta like "Doc" on the snake oil wagon and your competent 
family practitioner being considered on the same plane...
