What does fluoride have to do with chiropracty? Some will oppose, some will agree with it. But fluoridation has nothing to do with the spine, nor does the article mentioning chiropracty historically considering fluoride to influence the spine.
It may be a controversial subject; but it's like suggesting that that some chiropractors are vegetarians.Yeah, it's a health issue, but why is it here...? Artheartsoul1 (talk) 11:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because chiropractors believe that all disease is caused by vertebral subluxation, the notion that fluoride prevents tooth decay and disease of the gingiva is unacceptable, because only spinal manipulation can cure human diseases. 68.115.235.85 (talk) 15:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, according to that logic, then, the article ought to include chiropractic argument against every single treatment for every single disease that exists. Which if course would be ridiculous. I’m not only in favor of removing the “fluoride” material, but an attempt should be made to define some terms that are otherwise incomprehensible (to a layperson) in a standalone article. Example: “straights” and “mixers”? I came to the article cold from a Google search and those terms aren’t even wiki-linked. I’ll be back later to do some tidying if no one else wants to volunteer.

Sugarbat, we include what is supported by reliable independent sources. Chiropractors have a significant history of opposing routine public health interventions including fluoridation and vaccination, usually based on debunked or pseudoscientific rationale.

A "straight" is a chiropractic who does not use any non-chiropractic ideas, as opposed to a "mixer", who does. --Hob Gadling (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Innate intelligence definition
This article includes the term 'Innate intelligence' several times without defining it. Even the 'Innate intelligence' section (which is linked from other pages such as Chiropractic) does not define the term but jumps straight to criticism. Is there an accepted definition? --Quantum7 08:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
