A member asked:
Chiropractor said i have heavy metals in my system and should get this fixed. really? how would she know and what to do ? i have ibs
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!No! NO!: There is no way a chiropractor can diagnose heavy metal poisoning without blood level testing, so most likely this is a gimmick to allow her to do some expensive treatment that will do you no good and possible harm. Chelation therapy is a known high priced option for medical "quackery" so be warned and steer clear!
