I was having a talk with my Manhattan Chiropractor the other day and he told me he was planning a trip to visit a series of Navajo healers next Christmas. It was interesting because he isn’t a guy I thought would be into alternative medicine on the extreme, he always presents his ideas with hard scientific facts and I don’t think anyone has done a ton of studies about healers and the effects of seeing them.
When I asked him about it, he said that when he was doing his pre-med undergrad he saw a series of drawings from the Navajo from thousands of years ago depicting what he thought was a chiropractic adjustment. He’s wanted to visit the villages in New Mexico which produced those drawings for his entire life and now is finally going to make the trip. He said that if they were doing chiropractic work thousands of years ago that he probably has a ton to learn which western medicine only started in the last few generations.
