Summary: A book that tells it like it was
Review: Dr. Wilk attempts to describe what the chiropractic profession has had to endure. As he points out, chiropractors have succeeded in gaining the trust of patients. The effectiveness of chiropractic can be supported by insurance reimbursement. This is what the AMA and MDs have feared. The argument was never about effectiveness, as Dr. Wilk has said, it was about money. MDs restricted access to chiropractors (by not referring patients) mainly to protect their own pocketbooks, though chiropractic has indulged themselves in making claims of health improvement that is best addressed by allopathic physicians.

Summary: Medicine, Monoploies, and Malice changed my life FOREVER!
Review: First of all, thank you Dr. Wilk for such a wonderful and amazing book. I purchased your book while visiting Chicago. I read it at my hotel, on the plane home and never put it down until I finished the book! I am a Chiropractic Assistant in Mt. Pleasant, SC at Dr. Marvin Arnsdorff's office and I thought I had learned a lot about chiropractic, but I didn't know anything until I finished your book. You have changed my life. After reading your book, I realized this is a field I will never leave. I have decided to further my education in Natural Health Care. I am looking into a variety of schools and am very excited! I am a single mom and pretty much have been since age 16. I am now 24. I shared your story with my 8 year old daughter. She has decided on her own to use only chiropractic and Natural "remedies" when she is feeling "yucky" and to keep her from feeling that way as well. If she feels bad, she immediately asks to go get adjusted! If an 8 year old child can get the "BIG IDEA" how come these so called intelligent adults can't? My daughter has her own chiropractic story as does my father, and many of my friends and family. I have shared this book with everyone! And will continue to share it with even more people. I would recommend this book to everyone. And I mean everyone! Thank you again Dr. Wilk! Katherine Donald

Summary: Chiropractic is necessary for every one
Review: In this book, Dr. Wilk offers overwhelming evidence that the AMA sought to discredit and destroy chiropractic. Dr. Wilk tells his own story of discovering chiropractic, of building his practice, and of his constant struggle to clear the name of chiropractic, which has been under constant attack as quackery from others in the "healing" community. Dr. Wilk eventually took the AMA to court, twice, and this book tells the story of those events in a way that should awaken the wary consumer. Perhaps the best thing in this book is the Appendix, in which Dr. Wilk cites numerous studies that have vindicated the use of chiropractic in spite of attacks from detractors. If you are one of the growing number of people interested in natural healing techniques, or one of those with an inherent mistrust of MD's, read this book!

Summary: From the people who exposed the AMA
Review: It sounds like something out of the x-files, but it actually is happening. Nobody is surprised though are we? Chet Wilk has put the comprehensive book on the AMA (ET AL's) attempts to destroy and discredit the chiropractic profession by spreading their bigotry and biased reports. The effects of the AMA's attempts are still felt today and they succeeded in causing every person who hears the word 'chiropractor' to have what we call baggage. What do you think of first when you hear the word??? If it's negative and not openminded, you need to ask yourself how you came to that conclusion and who 'started' that kind of thinking. This book will make you feel duped and cheated by the AMA..the same way that the courts felt.

Summary: A must read for every chiropractor and patient!
Review: This book explains the "war" between chiropractic and medicine. The criticism of chiropractic by the medical industry is politically and financially motivated, as proven in this book. I beleive that if MDs read this book, they will take a longer look at the possible benefits of chiropractic, and ignore what their AMA reps are telling them.

Summary: I enjoyed this book
Review: While the naysayers (meaning MDs) do not like chiropractors, it seems that it's not because of science or philosophy, it's because of money. This book tells an interesting story of how the chiropractic profession started, and how it grew into an empire that made the AMA run scared. Their only ultimatum was to try and destroy chiropractic. However, as this books point out, that didn't happen because chiropractic has done the job in most cases, and many people have stopped going to their medical doctors and are now going to chiropractors. As can be witnessed today, and you'll see this in the book, many MDs are still against chiropractic, even though they know nothing about the philosophy. This book details the entire story of the fight to keep chiropractic accessible to everyone, despite the fight from the other side
