Doctor Claims He Travels Back In Time To Heal

[edbermac]

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio chiropractor who claimed to treat patients using time travel has surrendered his license to practice. State regulators had been investigating Dr. James Burda of Athens, who said he could take care of anyone, anywhere by reaching back in time to when the injury occurred. Burda said he discovered the skill six years ago when he hurt his own foot while driving. He said he gave the pain a command to stop and it went away.

He said he doesn't use force to realign bones, but he uses his mind to manipulate the body. But if that doesn't work, he said he travels back in time to fix the problem. He calls the practice Bala-Keem. State medical officials call it malpractice. Burda's Web site offered long-distance healing service for $60 an hour.

Burda said that his practice is beyond chiropractic, and is beyond what "they understand." He said that anything that's beyond what people don't understand scares them. The Ohio State Chiropractic Board accused him of being unable to practice due to mental illness. Now, in a written statement, Burda acknowledges his form of treatment was not acceptable.

1. Is this the guy?

[Jokerman]

2. Illegal for a physician, standard practice for a faith healer.

He just need to change his title and watch the cash roll in.

5. and change "travel through time" to

"ask the magical invisible man who lives in the sky and who happens to transcend time and be infinitely powerful to help someone with a very petty and minor inconvenient injury as a personal favor to me"


That doesn't sound crazy, does it?

3. I still laugh at chiropractors being called doctors.

No surprise it's a chiropractor doing this, they are one step from faith healers anyway.

8. Ever been to one?

I'd rather go to a chiropractor and get my back adjusted and feel instantly better than go to a doctor and be told that I have a "pulled muscle" and be given a bunch of painkillers and muscle relaxers and miss work for a week.

Which is exactly what happens.

4. I wondered why that weird guy came running up to me the other day

and insisted that I not attempt to jump off the 4 foot high rock I was standing on.


Guess I hired him in the future...
