This is the website for a remote healing method called Bahlaqueem. This is the first time I have ever seen quackery advertised using a testimonial from a Bassett Hound (bottom right of main page).

Well according to Wiki, "P. T. Barnum Never Did Say, "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute", but it's apparently true anyway.
It seems anyone can make up a pain reliever and just start selling. |

filthy, it just reminds me of (for example) Protestants claiming that Catholics aren't really Christians.
On the other hand, of course, is the fact that there is indeed a legal definition of chiropractic. Such a definition is utterly lacking for christianity, though. So it's not that close an analogy, but close enough to get the crossover giggles going. |
