The College of Chiropractors of Ontario — which oversees the profession — is being accused by chiropractic educational experts of endangering the public by allowing some chiropractors to make claims about the treatment of cancer, mental illness, ADHD and autism. Dr. Peter Amlinger, who is on the CCO’s executive, and Dr. Clifford Hardick, the organization’s treasurer, are both former presidents of the CCO. Both Amlinger and Hardick have expressed the view that chiropractors promote healing by releasing the power of the body’s “innate intelligence” through their removal of subluxations. That position put the largest chiropractic college in Canada in direct opposition to the largest regulatory council in the country. But, in a letter to the CCO, Wickes argued it is Amlinger and Hardick who are in a position of conflict of interest.
