Chiropractors | A Ghost Told Me
from Satan is my Superhero · host Judas Falling
Chiropractors owe their entire medical philosophy to a ghost from Iowa. Yes—seriously! And apparently, the aggressive billing structure was the ghost's idea too.Turns out alternative medicine wasn't discovered in a lab with "science" or "evidence" — it was channeled during a Victorian séance from a dead doctor whose primary contribution to medicine was: crack their neck, then charge them.Magnetic healer D.D. Palmer took those ghost notes, adjusted a deaf janitor's spine, declared himself leader of a new religion, and somehow built a global healthcare profession. His son BJ then scaled the movement while famously announcing that "education constipates the mind" — a bold stance for a career requiring eight years of study.This episode covers the mystical life-force theory behind "Innate Intelligence," the corporate-Christian subculture rebranding spinal adjustments for Jesus, and the absolute chaos of a 2019 chiropractic study that accidentally convinced Fox News that smartphones were mutating teenagers with actual devil horns.Fully scripted. Heavily produced. Featuring Dr Poopinspine, a ghost with billing opinions, and one very confused janitor.PATREON If a ghost can found an entire healthcare profession, surely you can click one tiny little link?
