Joe Rogan Experience #984 - Yvette d'Entremont

five four three two oh what happened Jamie went three toes how are you what's
going on doing good
how you doing good welcome thank you for having me thanks for coming on you you
wrote an article
and I tweet let me tell you about my my chiropractic journey um I had a podcast
that I did
with my friend Steve Rinella a few weeks back gotcha and he has a brother that
has a herniated
disc real bad and he's got a atrophy in one of his arms because he's got a
pushed nerve and you
know the whole thing bulging disc not not good yeah and uh we got to talk and
then I said look
that guy's got to do something about it right away because the more time you
spend with an atrophied
arm the longer it takes to rehabilitate that and it's a pretty common injury
with martial artists
yeah yeah that's something get get yourself to a physical therapist yeah right
away and get an mri
and then spinal decompression the whole deal and yeah science-based absolutely
so he goes uh what
do you think about chiropractors and I go so I say I think chiropractors are
bullshit and then uh he
goes really I go yeah I go I've just had bad experiences with it and then I've
read some
things about it being bullshit and then I got home after the podcast and I
smoked joint and a lot of
times when I smoke I feel bad about some of the things that I've said I rarely
do
do you it's I I I smoke more than the average scientist I would my boyfriend is
a director
of R&D at a pot lab oh yeah there's science there's pot science there there is
some pot kicking around
on a regular basis well we get it free from a bunch of people I have to tell
people it shows and no
disrespect to people that offer to me I'm like please don't give me any pot I
can't take your pot I
have too much pot it's we we have a similar problem yeah um so anyway I smoked
the pot and then I go
god maybe I'm a dick maybe I was rude saying because I know people that are chiropractors
and I know
they're nice people and I know they mean well and I'm like maybe I'm a dick I
think that's accurate
I think they mean well some of them sure yeah I think they're wrong but they
mean well so um I go
maybe I was being a dick so then I google chiropractic and then I start reading
and I
spend hours and hours reading about the history of I'm going to say this in air
big air quotes
chiropractic medicine and I go holy fucking shit not only do I not feel bad now
now I'm angry
I don't feel bad at all it and this is to all you people and I've got a ton of
messages from
chiropractors that I'm sure are nice folks and they're really upset because
they like this podcast
and they're like you know you're you're shitting on my business and you said
you have to understand
I it's I'm sure a lot of you are mean well I'm sure a lot of you do well I'm
sure a lot of you try
really hard to help your patients and I'm sure a lot of you incorporate a lot
of other stuff like
massage and cold laser and real science into your therapies but the origin the
origin the original
guy who created chiropractic medicine was a complete total bullshit artist
fucking whack this guy right
here this this character Daniel David Palmer so he started out he's a magnetic
healer in Davenport
Iowa I mean the whole thing is a hundred percent horse shit and I mean we this
article that we
wrote we sent this through I mean normally my articles they go through at least
you know two
editors give or take this one we put through I believe three editors a fact
checker and our
lawyer to make sure that we were bulletproof on it because we wanted to make
sure that we you know
that that we didn't say anything that could get us sued basically and a lot of
the information
from this came directly from his book from his own book so we weren't taking
anything out of context one of the
quotes on how chiropractic started came directly from the book and he after
after cracking a half deaf
persons or a deaf person yeah that was what Jamie just had pulled up in that
article pull it back up Jamie so you can see that he
claimed that he cracked a deaf person's back and restored his healing or his
hearing now a
couple of things could have happened here either one there was no actual
medical consent given because this person was deaf so I'm not sure how how that
came about to he didn't actually restore the hearing because there are no
nerves in the
spine connected to your hearing or you know three this guy is just lying like
there's there a couple you know and we're not sure what happened but he like
there
are still and you know chiropractic could have done a few things with this they
could have disavowed what happened and said you know we still have a system by
which
we can really try to relieve pain through spinal manipulation but no there are
still articles out today from chiropractors today that try to claim that yes
indeed he did restore hearing because was it like no could you guys just maybe
back
down on some of the nuttier claims because there there is some some minor
evidence that you can relieve back pain lower back pain with spinal
manipulation
and there are there are chiros that are trying to be science based with this
but the
history of it is so ridiculous and they try to back down on nothing and that's
not how science works science works with the
newest evidence and it tries to figure out what's real and what's not and they
try
to double down on all the craziest stuff and i think there are chiros that are
trying to fix the field maybe and say you know spinal manipulation can help
with
back pain but that's not what this claims it claims that you can fix everything
in
the body through these vertebral subluxations that have never been shown what
is
a subluxation right so there are a couple there's there are two terms being
used
here and chiropractic uses it incorrectly and in medicine we use it
correctly so a subluxation the the actual medical term means that a joint pops
out
halfway so that you have a dislocation was which is a complete you know
separation of
a joint basically and a subluxation is a partial dislocation i know because
they
happen to my shoulder they're they're a fun party trick i'll spare you but a
subluxation in the chiropractic sense they use this medical term kind of
incorrectly they say that your spine can be somewhat out of joint basically and
it
causes all your health problems like your pancreas is malfunctioning because
your
spine is out of alignment and it's that's never been proven to happen and they
claim
that they can put you into a state of health by massaging your back and here's
what's
important about this this was created out of thin air by a guy who was a quack
the
the origin is not based on years and years of medical research none of this all
of this came
from the 1800s from a guy who was completely full of shit yep and he was he was
a magnetic healer now
magnetic healing like you can still see at the store these little like knee
braces that have
magnets in it guys save your money just get a regular old knee brace if you
feel any any relief
from one of those magnetic braces it's just from the brace it's not the fucking
or a placebo effect yeah exactly placebo effects are i mean the placebo effect
is a real thing you can
get some relief from that but don't bother which may also account for some of
the pain relief from
chiropractic medicine absolutely i mean they're doing quotes yeah exactly like
they're they're doing
some massage along with what they're doing and some of them problem because
massage actually helps yep and
there there are studies that show people who go to a massage uh therapist or a
massage practitioner
tend to get more relief than people who go to uh to a chiropractor so please go
to a massage
therapist go to a uh to a physical therapist those are those are your science-based
practitioners
chiropractic it started out of bullshit and it stayed directly in bullshit here's
the thing it's
like there's no reason that anybody would have from this guy from this one
original guy
who created it this guy who's a magnetic healer who came up with this somehow
or another it slipped
through the cracks yeah i mean that's what this is i mean they're running
around calling themselves
doctors like so this guy said to me one of these guys who got angry at me i've
gotten like at least
dozen two dozen maybe angry messages from chiropractors but one of them the guy
said
does a podiatrist go to medical school well the fuck they go to podiatry school
not only that they
take they have a medical residency that they have to do for three years they
they actually go to a
hospital yes they have to work in a hospital yeah and podiatry is like an
actual science yes of
studying the foot and some of them are i could be wrong on this someone go
ahead and please fact
check me i believe some of them are podiatric surgeons like they have to know
all the anatomy of the
feet in order to treat actual foot conditions they are like these are part of
the medical system
chiropractic works kind of separately and on theories that uh that have never
been proven to
work they can't even do imaging like half i believe something like half of chiropractic
clinics don't
even have x-rays so how can they show you 100 for sure that what they're
claiming is happening in your
back isn't happening and i read i mean these are statistics that i found
straight from chiropractic
websites from their organizations um and i i had this uh referenced in the
article i just i'm blanking on
which place had this one of the chiropractic boards that does large-scale
surveys you know
within chiropractic uh about half there were a lot of places a lot of people i'm
sure said to you but
my chiropractor is good my chiropractor doesn't do the bullshit stuff and a lot
of my friends said that
too they said no they just crack my back they don't try to sell me any bullshit
supplements
about half of chiropractors do the bullshit stuff they do the extra the extraneous
wellness stuff so
when if you have a 50 if you're playing russian roulette and you have a 50
chance of getting a
bullshit uh or getting a bullet are you going to do that no like that's i don't
want a 50 chance of
having a bullshit doctor who's like well maybe your cold's really a germ and
you know maybe it's a
bullet i don't want the bullshit doctor i want the guy who knows what he's
talking about
and this is what you're getting with chiropractic you're getting a bullshit
doctor
and it's even if it's not a doctor yeah exactly part of the problem is that
they call themselves
doctors have you seen i didn't know yeah until this year or until so when i was
checking in on this
they don't go to medical school it's they go to they go to chiropractic schools
now one of the
biggest chiropractic schools in the country is uh palmer chiropractic college
and that's named for
dd palmer the guy who launched launched this bevy of bullshit on us and he it's
made after that guy
named after the guy who claimed to heal the deaf guy and it's one of one of my
now this is crazy so
this is going to be a fun story by fun i mean horrifying one of the guys i went
to undergrad with
uh went to palmer chiropractic college now the acceptance rate 100 tuition 34
000 a year to learn
how to crack baby spines now the guy i went to college well you say baby spines
some people do some
some of them do now it is a growing field in chiropractic this one guy said
this hilarious he said
you're saying they crack baby spines it's a gentle manipulation like why yeah
exactly here's the
thing why why the fuck are you manipulating babies there's no evidence
whatsoever that that helps
babies and this is the babies aren't complaining about back pain yeah no here
here are the two
things that i've heard one is uh is that it's so gentle it wouldn't even bruise
a tomato skin
then why are you doing it why no the other thing they say because it's bullshit
yeah it's because they
they can they can charge parents that's why the other thing they say is well
from doin
