The First Chiropractor Was a Canadian Who Claimed He Received a Message From a Ghost - National Post

Being a Canadian kind of rocks: We have a reputation for politeness. We turned the lowly, bland potato into a gravy and curd-laden, artery-constricting loveliness known as poutine. And when we go over the deep end you'd best stand back because we are going to make one heck of a splash. So it's not the least bit surprising that the first chiropractor was an egocentric Canadian loon who was peddling some decent healthcare mixed in a 50 gallon drum of snake oil. (This was all before the metric system.) Yet in spite of undiagnosed Narcissistic Personality Disorder, he was on the right track. When Researchers Listen To People Who Hear Voices, really listen without tittering to themselves about madness and quacks, they can learn a lot about how the brains of those suffering from schizophrenia produce auditory hallucinations. It turns out that those who perceive hearing voices as a positive experience, like psychics and spiritualists, have similar brain activity to a schizophrenic "hearing" terrible voices.  Research continues in the hope of reframing a debilitating illness, allowing those tortured by internal voices to take control and gain some of their life back.
