I know this is not going to be a very popular post for the majority

of readers, but here it goes. I see the Ma Huang regulation, our

inability to cogently counter political and legislative onslaughts,

and the lack of positive PR in these realms based on one factor: the

doctorate is not entry-level. When we are competing against PhD's

and MD's for the FDA's ear, we will lose. Every time. When we go to

lobby our politicians, who do you think they are going to pay more

attention to a group made up of non-doctors (they have a hard time

even recognizing that we have masters degrees) or groups made up of

PhD's and MD's? And who do you think a harried journalist is going

to give more credence to, us or them? I know a doctorate doesn't

need to be entry level for educational or informational reasons. But

it absolutely must for political and PR reasons. We will always be

second-class citizens without it. How far do you think chiropractors

would have gotten in their fight against the medical establishment

if they weren't doctors?
