Chiropractic: The Greatest Hoax of the Century? The Whole Truth. . - New Books - book review

Skeptical Inquirer,  July-August, 2002  by Kendrick Frazier,  Benjamin Radford

> Chiropractic: The Greatest Hoax of the Century? The Whole Truth. Ludmil A. Chotkowski, M.D., FACP. New England Books, 1143 Chamberlain Highway, Kensington, CT 06037. 2002. ISBN 0-9657855-2-1. 202 pp. $14.95, softcover. Edited by "Quack-buster" Stephen M. Barrett, M.D., this is the second revised edition of a book, claimed to be the first by a medical dector that, in the author's words, "exposes fairly and honestly chiropractic's failure to prove that 'adjusting' the spine can cure disease or maintain 'wellness' or health in any way." The opening chapter, "Why I Consider Chiropractic a Hoax," provides three case studies and presents the National Council Against Health Fraud's "Fact Sheet on Chiropractic." It's all downhill (for chiropractic) from there.
