The building behind me is a university that costs over $10 ,000 a year to attend.

Here, students learn the teachings of an 1800 scammer that has no scientific backing.

And on top of that, this practice is known to cause many fatalities every year.

So in this video, we are infiltrating this prestigious university to figure out what is going on.

And the craziest thing is, you've definitely heard of it.

Chiropractors.

Oh, that's some cracking news.

You ever been to one?

No, I have been to a manual physical therapist.

They also crack you, but more responsibly.

Let's Google how many people die from chiropractice every year.

No official or exact annual counts of death.

Okay.

Right.

It's very rare.

Roughly three deaths per one or 10 million neck manipulations.

So this is the very useful Google AI overview.

Yeah, that's real good.

Yeah, great.

Hey, let's look at what the f*ing sources are, shan't we?

Oh, it's all chiropractors' websites.

Thank you, Google AI overview.

Let's look at some actual literature, right?

This very comprehensive study from 2010 comes to a very comprehensive conclusion.

Numerous deaths have occurred after chiropractic manipulations.

The risk of this treatment by far outweighs its benefit.

Oh.

And these exact numbers are mentioned in another study.

The authors calculated that the frequency of irreversible complications is about one One per 850 patients undergoing a series of cervical manipulations,

a figure that is dramatically different from those usually proposed by chiropractors.

One in 850 is a lot of people.

One thing to highlight here is that the things that are being measured are quite a bit different.

Okay.

The first study was more about death.

Here it was more about irreversible complications.

Okay.

Right.

And I found that chiropractors' websites love to point towards the death rates, the verifiable death rate being significantly lower right do not really talk about well what

if you have a stroke yeah i would imagine there's a lot of complications

when you mishandle someone's neck here's another one the frequency of

serious adverse events varied between five strokes per 100 000 manipulations

to 1 .46 serious adverse events per 10 million manipulations

but it gets a bit confusing

because these numbers again are quite a bit lower there is no robust data concerning the incidence

or prevalence of adverse reactions after chiropractic further investigations are urgently

needed to assess definite conclusions regarding this issue this study is

from 2009 they were saying more research is highly necessary more research has not been done right

and this is in part because it is extremely difficult to get this data

because chiropractors are not screaming from the rooftops hey we killed 10 people this year why not great question

and on top of that dead people can't really point fingers also true

so it is extremely difficult but one thing that is for sure is

that it has led to many bad outcomes although i want to say growing growing up, I thought chiropractic was like just really cool and awesome.

Yeah, exactly.

It's a very normal and common thing to see a chiropractor, right?

We're going to get into why that is.

But first, you know who definitely died at the hands of a chiropractor?

No. The inventor of chiropractic.

Oh.

Here we have Mr. Palmer.

Diddy Palmer dropped out of school at 11 because he had enough or something.

Okay.

And then spent most of his time grifting.

Okay.

Selling snake oil, doing magnetic healing you know whatever to get by

and make some money okay yeah

and during one magnetic healing session he allegedly just kind of up someone's back

and that made something better for the patient

and bro was like oh my god i figured it out

uh -huh now even back then back in the early 1900s

he got like banished for practicing medicine without a license for doing chiropractic didn't even know that

that was a thing back in the day yeah sure enough

i'm impressed with 1900s usa like generally they weren't amazing i would say

but they kind of figured that one out right

and importantly the way he spread chiropractics was by starting schools to teach chiropractic that's really smart yeah

and then his son bj palmer wait it was dd

and bj yeah that's awesome his son uh bought his chiropractic schools

and then i don't know they got into a bunch of

drama tldr son drove into dad with a car dad died

sorry hold up what do you mean tldr also i want to say he didn't die of

chiropractics then it was a good segue okay let me have

this one now this is a very abridged version right i

can highly recommend the chapel video on this it goes is

way more in depth also don't feel too bad for him

because allegedly it was also just a an abusive all the cute dad

and son business alliance started these schools the palmer college of chiropractic

and it's a brilliant way of spreading a cult or a belief

or whatever right starting these schools

and having other people then practice a real school yeah and

so in this way it really caught on

and it's kind of how we ended up right now with chiropractors still being like just a thing

that everyone knows about

and accepts as being this you know totally legit thing right

again it is based on nothing it is based on a

guy with no scientific knowledge just doing whatever they have a ton of like weird little devices

that measure pressure points of course they claim they can cure

subluxation what's that a subluxation is a real medical term for a partial

or incomplete complete dislocation of a joint thank you google ai

overview sources chiropractor cape town chiropractor god damn it looking at

the actual information subluxation syndrome is a legitimate potentially testable theoretical construct for

100

which there is little experimental evidence weird sentence it's super super real

101

but it's like not no so the distinction you need to make here is

102

that it is a theoretical concept

103

but there is little experimental evidence therefore an entire practice

104

that is based on accepting this as complete truth

105

and then doing actual medicine is crazy considering there is no

106

real evidence it's insane i do think this phrasing is rough

107

for most people it's part of the reason why chiropractics in my opinion is

108

so widely considered to be a real thing because

109

when you google it all of these chiropractors are great at seo yeah

110

and they know how to write texts that are comprehensible to everyone yeah

111

and all that text ends up at the top of google

112

or in the ai results whereas the actual information is yeah written more complexly

113

and more nuanced and subluxation and all of this is being taught in universities

114

and stuff it is it is crazy well the first thing

115

i want to do is for us to just hit up our local chiropractors

116

and try and figure out if they actually still subscribe to this bull. So let's go.

117

All right, Jesper, you hit up chiropractors in Amsterdam and Utrecht

118

and I hit Groningen and my first observation is why is there many?

119

Yeah, there's a lot of them and I've also noticed that they keep really strange opening hours.

120

I don't know if you have the same, but like some of them are only open on mondays

121

and tuesdays while they're in like super prime locations in the capital city

122

so rent can't be cheap you know it is weird i

123

mean they do love sublocate subluxation they love it most chiropractors do though

124

so that's good yeah i mean it's the main theory of

125

chiropractic and i mean yeah clearly they all subscribe to that idea and you can subscribe to this channel.

126

Is that funny?

127

I think that's funny.

128

That's really funny.

129

That's good.

130

That's really funny, Quintanide.

131

I also kind of pretend like I was like a chiropractic snob, like I was like really into it, right?

132

So I was like, are you fully licensed?

133

Where did you study?

134

And they basically all said they studied in England or France.

135

Yeah, I looked into this and it's like kind of fascinating because the term chiropractor is not protected here in the Netherlands.

136

So if you wanted to right now Quinton Hyde you could say I'm a chiropractor

137

and go like I'm a chiropractor crack people's backs

138

and charge money for that right really that's actually not great do you know

139

if the chiropractors are licensed yeah yeah sure yeah from 2004 2004 okay where did they study

140

and in England yeah no I was just googling around

141

and I saw the the French chiropractor uni and apparently

142

that one is like super prestigious like that's that's like the one right yeah it costs like 10 000

143

or 10 000 and a half

144

or something euros per year they don't really share all

145

that much about themselves and no one really knows what happens on the inside

146

or what kind of classes they teach

147

and everything that's kind of cool i guess

148

and terrifying i would love to try and get in

149

and actually see what's going on there also

150

if you become a channel member you get really cool bonus content

151

and we do monthly hangouts with channel members and it's really cool

152

that being said i also think we should just go to paris now

153

and try to sneak into that school wait let me rephrase

154

that to sneaking into the uni so that makes it sound slightly less

155

creepy all right we made it to paris that's in france

156

and we're in front of the university very good quentin you're

157

so good at geography sometimes sometimes like this is the university where most chiropractors in the netherlands

158

and i think belgium

159

and probably even germany as well probably a large part of europe at all

160

so what we're gonna do is i'm gonna go in there

161

and i'm gonna ask if i can get like a consultation here

162

which is possible uh up until last year you could actually

163

book it on the website they've now gotten rid of

164

that feature but it's like a cheaper chiropractic consultation

165

because it's done by students right um

166

so mostly i want you to see what it is like in there well godspeed king thank you

167

went on solemnly marching into the belly of the beast

168

actually where's the entrance excuse me uh you know what where's

169

the entrance it's cool it's just oh i'm looking for the

170

the the clinic yeah somehow i didn't see it thank you

171

merci how can i do a consultation for something i want to take your reservation a consultation

172

if i can yeah it's your first time yes the consultation for today

173

if today is still available that would be cool

174

Quinton is in there I do see people going in

175

and out of the building and it was really hard

176

while researching this university to find anything about it because all of their like schedules,

177

course information and stuff is behind a password which I guess you can obtain for 10 000 a year.

178

Hi, sorry, do you guys study at the the chiropractic?

179

Are you in first year, second year? fourth year wow five years wow yeah

180

and do you learn about subluxation as well yeah yeah that's

181

one of the big uh trends do you learn about the history of like dd palmer

182

and bj palmer okay so

183

that is you also have history classes incorporated interesting what is the schedule like for you guys We study all the week, but not the weekend.

184

Okay, yeah.

185

Saturday, Sunday, it's hot.

186

But we have a lot of practice lessons.

187

Yes, five hours in the week.

188

So five hours of practical...

189

Yes, yes.

190

Oh, wow.

191

And do you have exams?

192

Yes.

193

Is it like...

194

Every month.

195

Every month?

196

Oh my god.

197

Sounds really tough.

198

Yes.

199

But do you enjoy it?

200

Yes.

201

Yes.

202

Okay, okay are the teachers nice or are they yes yes oh quentin is back

203

that was perfect timing my main takeaway from

204

that is they learn the history of the palmer family

205

which yeah that's something what's up king i have news in 30 minutes i'm gonna have my full first session and consult

206

yes baby downside it takes two hours you know how he

207

told me the price yo it's just students it's only 28 euros i'm like cool

208

and he's like and then of course 20 i was like okay so 48 yeah

209

what how was the inside of the building crazy

210

so um there's two different entrances there's the clinic entrance

211

and the uni entrance uni entrance that one clinic entrance

212

that one does it feel like a place where students just march in

213

and they don't need to bleep any cards i didn't have to bleep any cars i walked in

214

because presumably you're gonna go to the clinic part yeah i could

215

while you're there try and wander into the thing that's smart okay

216

so quentin is going in with our camera lady um who

217

is like you know the concerned girlfriend to hopefully get some more shots of what's actually happening

218

and i'm gonna be out here waiting until it's my turn

219

to do something sorry i'm a few minutes late an old lady fell down

220

and we had to help her out okay

221

so tell us about what brought you here it's mostly like my upper like shoulders

222

or like back like back shoulders i'll call them

223

that are like really tight everything we are doing we know

224

that it's not it's it's safe for you for sure yeah

225

so the this is just to tell you like right general

226

condition you know i'll put it in translate i thought maybe with my high school french i can read about this.

227

Okay, while Quinton is having his spine snapped into a million pieces, I've just been circling the building of the IFEC,

228

and I've also been looking into their requirements for new students, and it's kind of weird.

229

So for reference, most universities, like most programs, you need good grades or a specific thing you did in high school.

230

Like for example, if you want to study chemistry in most universities, you need to at least have taken chemistry in high school

231

and done well on it right it makes sense you need

232

that base knowledge

233

but in the case of the chiropractors you just need to

234

be at least 17 you need to have a high school diploma doesn't matter what kind

235

and you need to be able to speak english and

236

if you don't then you might need to take a test

237

those are literally all the requirements for the moment you can say like me

238

and you do like me okay okay sorry maybe no it's it's fine it's fine okay uh

239

so can you just uh take off oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the pain is with the left arm

240

or the right the right it was the left arm

241

and on the right side okay and

242

when you do with the right arm yes i'm back at the front entrance of the cairo uni

243

and while pacing around i also noticed

244

that they have their dorms like right next to i mean

245

it's the same building honestly just attached to it this is

246

part of the chiropractic university you're looking for the where you can go yeah yeah no i'm just wondering

247

because are these the dorms dorms like where you sleep yeah

248

oh gotcha gotcha the clinic is right here isn't all

249

that weird for unis obviously it's a it's a campus

250

but i can imagine how as a student here

251

if you also live here it becomes your whole world i was also just informed

252

that quentin had to do a whole questionnaire before starting his consultation

253

which you know not to read into it too much but

254

that is a classic cult thing you know think about the scientology personality tests

255

and whatever else so what i'm gonna do now is i'm just gonna

256

i guess pretend to be a student

257

and march into the uni part of the ifeq have a little hidden cam see if I can gather some more info.

258

It feels very closed.

259

Also mirror blackout windows.

260

Okay so the main doors are not working.

261

Let's try this entrance.

262

The only way that I got in was because someone held the door open for me.

263

Okay so that's four levels to this.

264

Oh my god.

265

It's the palmer.

266

Fascinating.

267

Printing room.

268

This area is f*ing bad.

269

Just wandered into a class.

270

Seems very casual.

271

Okay, so it seems like the university part of this building is pretty small.

272

like it's just um three levels of classrooms the class

273

that i walked into seemed super chill like the teacher was just hanging out with the students

274

and then i think the main part of this whole complex is just the actual like clinic someone coming in there

275

okay i've wandered out of there um yeah you can only

276

get in there with like a key card shout out to

277

the person who held the door open for me no questions

278

asked i stood outside one of the lectures for a little bit

279

and just kind of listened to what was being discussed

280

and then i also googled it to see if it was like bullshit

281

or legit stuff and

282

that was mostly just you know legit uh physics essentially just talking about how x -rays work

283

and i think that's the hard thing right like you do learn a lot of useful stuff i'm sure but

284

that bust of palmer boy you know that's kind of crazy

285

that's kind of crazy to be like yeah the snake oil slinging bro is our hero

286

and just wandering through there like i said i think most

287

of it is geared towards making money off of students paying 10 500 a year

288

and making money other people going for consultations like quentin is

289

right now yes yes the chiropractic is yes the chiropractic is

290

the try to help the body to adapt the best way

291

to the environment we use a lot of techniques to do

292

that um that there is like soft tissues technique like kind of massage right

293

and there is also uh we call it adjustment it's the

294

crack thing maybe i will not have to do this okay

295

but sometimes i use it as i'm like walking around this super imposing building

296

and reflecting on what i saw on the inside i realized

297

the top layers don't seem to be part of the university

298

at all the classrooms go up to the fourth floor

299

which you know is up to there

300

and then actually on there you can barely see it

301

but that's like um this is for sale

302

and for rent posters on top of that the fact

303

that all of their windows are reflective and you just cannot look inside

304

and you need a key card to be able to get

305

inside yeah it gives it a pretty closed off feel whereas

306

with most universities you can just wander in right like it's a pretty open space days

307

which i think is good you know

308

when you're doing science you don't want it to be um

309

behind reflective windows you you want to be transparent about

310

that then again they're doing imo for the most part pseudoscience

311

so yeah so you do this okay with my hands yeah you push your head with your finger

312

uh 10 uh times 10 times yeah like i said earlier you i'm checking all the body

313

because you you your middle of your back can't work without

314

no true fair fair fair that's maybe that's a little disturbing

315

but that's uh no i got it this one i mean

316

it's a bit sensitive okay yeah no that's I'm not sure if it's sensitive.

317

First, please.

318

Oh my god.

319

You study here?

320

Yes.

321

At the chiropractic?

322

Ah, sick.

323

Do you know Mark?

324

Because I'm waiting for my friend Mark.

325

I don't know who he is from Mark.

326

Actually, what year are you in?

327

I'm in the first year.

328

Oh, okay.

329

I think it's the second year, but yeah.

330

But in the school, I have a training.

331

A different chiropractic training?

332

or yeah yes I'm running it oh nice well have fun

333

enjoy you too hey you guys speak English yeah sure sick

334

what do you do you would like to maybe study have

335

a program in English here yes oh cool there are a lot of many Belgian people yeah

336

and people to a Cheryl I'll take a free tour you

337

got like a whole cool spacer yeah that's awesome okay the accommodation was unfortunately not

338

that interesting just a bunch of bros playing table tennis

339

and yeah rooms you survived congrats yes

340

so okay allow me to run you through it yeah tell

341

me what happened we go in we're trying to sneak nat in right

342

so we want to do the whole can my girlfriend come

343

in spiel this was an immediate acceptance we walk in can

344

come in absolutely they're like okay it's time to go in

345

and they're asking me what's wrong with you now i was like what

346

if i just become completely honest

347

and i tell them my like top of my back like

348

my shoulders are completely stuck all the time it hurts first

349

we sit down we do a questionnaire do you smoke do you drink how long has this been hurtful

350

if you do this does it hurt you know all

351

that kind of stuff yeah it takes a long time there's

352

two two people by the way both wildly attractive okay

353

so then they were like we're gonna now go away talk to the teachers about you know what our plan

354

and if it's right because we don't want to just do

355

that on you they go away they're gone pretty long i think they said

356

that they wanted to treat you now as well yeah you caught

357

that right they come back they're like okay we're now gonna

358

do physical diagnostics they you know they turned me on my

359

belly they're on my back i have to take off my shirt didn't love

360

that at a certain point they're like okay we have a plan to treat you

361

so we're gonna go to the teachers

362

so they went away again um they gave me a terms

363

of condition in french they were like yeah you can translate it with your phone

364

and then they told us they don't always do the cracking stuff

365

that is like a only if it's needed last resort type of thing right

366

and most of the time it's something else now what i

367

found fascinating is a lot of it was like pressure point

368

stuff like at a certain point i had to hold my hand like this

369

and he was like okay you do this

370

and like i was like laying there like this

371

and then he would move my leg and he was like does that hurt and i was like yeah

372

and then he would do something and then he would do it again

373

and it's like does it hurt still like no

374

and i will admit the more he did it the less

375

it hurt yeah like a massage yeah i think a lot of it was

376

that i think a lot of it was either shallow to deep tissue massage they ended up giving me

377

three pressure points in my body that i should massage

378

but i do want to say since i've had actual physical

379

therapy for a long time in the past certain like exercises they gave me

380

or made me do are renowned the phrase um your your next best position

381

while sitting is the next one is also like a well -known thing

382

but the connection between that and what they were doing was never made super clear yeah

383

but it like it was all accepted to science i came

384

to roughly the exact same conclusion really let me run you

385

through what i did yeah what happened at first i walked around the building

386

and i noticed the dorms are attached to the building

387

so most students live

388

and study in like a square hundred meters really then I

389

wanted to enter through the door where you told me to enter

390

that was not enterable so then I went around to a back door

391

that was also keycard locked but a very kind student just held it over to me

392

so then I went in and I entered

393

and scouted out the entire university class area okay a lot

394

of it was very back room see like like liminal spaces

395

scouted all four floors there isn't a lot of university space

396

and it appears that the top levels of this imposing building aren't being used at all

397

and then i started speaking to students

398

and same thing as you said they were all

399

so delightful all of them were kind of telling me about their student life yeah

400

and it seems extremely intense i asked them about um like okay

401

so do you learn a lot about the palmers

402

and they were basically like yeah

403

and within this university you can choose to either go more the philosophical route

404

so go more into the history the shady ass history of this

405

or be more practical about it i also uh kind of

406

listened in on a class happening next to the door okay

407

and this was uh from as far as i could tell

408

just a pretty fine explanation of x -rays it also led me to the conclusion

409

that you surely learn a lot of legit useful stuff here yeah

410

but then the i could tell from the from what they

411

were talking about yeah the starting point is very not legit yeah

412

and the entire underlying like the base yeah not i was

413

talking to these two guys being like oh yeah i'm just waiting for my friend to get out of class

414

and i was asking like yeah i looked into the palmer story

415

and they seem a bit weird

416

and they were like yeah fair enough they're a bit weird

417

but it's really good here you learn a of good stuff

418

and i'm like i believe you yeah but when you fail to see

419

that the underlying idea of everything that this is about

420

that you pay 50 000 euros for is it's kind of

421

like how the best lies have a tinge of truth

422

and it feels so grifty on the part of these universities

423

because you can learn all of the useful stuff in regular universities

424

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
