Talk:Functional neurology

Holy quackery, Batman! Can't believe I've never heard of this before. It's like reflexology of the brain. You can't even really debunk most of it, it's just not even wrong from top to bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever made this up just wrote down a bunch of neurology terms on paper and pulled them out of a hat at random. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 04:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Disgusting description, childlike research
Incredible work of extremely bad research by an individual with NO practical experience of Functional Neurology. A joke from the very beginning where the author claims the Functional Neurologist uses EEG to begin a diagnostic approach. That isn't even ina the diplomate curriculum. If this individual actually went to a doctor who utilized EEG as a primary diagnostic tool then he/she was not in the company of a competent practitioner. EEG is a diffuse diagnostic tool and certainly not even in the primary examination of a traditional neurologist. From this ignoble beginning, premise being 100% inaccurate, the piece is simply a hack job performed by an individual with an ulterior motive. Surprise, surprise! Functional Neurology is a model derived from the neuroscience research that has its origins and continuation within the advent of the fMRI. It is an incredible emerging diagnostic and therapeutic method that is the future for addressing the human and enhancing humanism. It is evolving and not without it limitations and dead ends but only as neuroscience itself continues to open the doors to the unknown. Pseudo-science? Believe what you will and place your health and future in the hands of traditional neurology and medicine...good luck.Dr Don (talk) 16:24, 1 January 2013 (UTC)Dr Don
 * Well, if you can write the article as well as you can bitch about it then overall we'll be in good shape, no? C ® ackeЯ
 * Dispense with the qualifiers Dr Don and you are exactly right; observe: Anyone who goes to a functional neurologist is not in the company of a competent practitioner. Tielec01 (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article is a shill piece - David Gerard (talk) 12:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the links there David. I have looked at the WP article, but I have limited experience over there and I'm not really ready to invest the amount of time it would take to beat the article into shape. This is especially so because Chiropractic Neurology is a fringe topic and there really isn't much legitimate research out there testing its claims. The fact that it is 'not even wrong' exacerbates this problem.Tielec01 (talk) 00:01, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Whoa nelly, quack true believer ahoy
First of all, let me sincerely thank you for this huge list of references without discussion to their meaning, and particularly let me thank you for the extraordinary amount of them that do not even load. I'm glad you found that academic journals let you check items off on a list to build an automatic list of APA/MLA citations, but... if you have a complaint, you need to be more explicit about the nature of your concerns. Especially if you're going against mission to defend pseudo-scientific quackery. Please state a primary thesis, and use your references as supporting points, instead of just dumping them like a steaming, smelly pile. Ikanreed (talk) 20:31, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * For anyone that's interested most of the articles above are inaccessible, presumably because the poster just copy and pasted search-queries. For the ones that are accessible, there is no coherent explanation of why they are posted and most are low-quality articles that may have garnered a few citations over many years. Not sure what the poster hoped to accomplish with this, except perhaps to try and intimidate with a whole bunch of peer reviewed articles that have no relevance to Functional Neurology.

Redirect
To whom it may concern, Functional Neurology is at least as well known as Chiropractic Neurology. Can someone with solid wiki-fu set up a redirect to this article when someone searches for chiropractic neurology? If someone does it I promise to learn how and never ask again. Cheers.

 * If someone does this then I will forgive them for one of their future transgressions and not even tease them about it. Anyone? Tielec01 (talk) 04:24, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Everyone knows this as Chiropractic Neurology, it speaks so much about this site that this article is still under such an obscure name. God forbid you would write about pseudoscience when there are hamfisted articles to be written about Israel - Palestine. 51.255.164.121 (talk) 06:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

May be no longer correct
While it may historically trace back the quackery that is chiropractic some groups appear to be trying to go legitimate and do only things supported by science and data. This article also reads as particularly poorly researched and one sided for RationalWiki which generally is a good resource for knowing about quackery. 2001:4898:80E8:B:B404:286F:723D:47CF (talk) 21:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
