12:53 You brought up a single patient whose case might I add only is referred to by chiropractors. Said "Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health" is a chiropractic journal and not a mainstream medical journal. I understand the usefulness of chiropractors for back pain, stress, and related. But saying that it has the potential to cure or help things that are in completely unrelated bodily systems such as autism, Crohn's or cancer is the exact reason why people question those of your field.
Did you not understand the topic at hand? Chiropractic doesn't cure anything, it doesn't treat anything. The case study you're referencing says the chiropractor was correcting vertebral subluxations in a patient that also just happened to have autism, and after chiropractic care the patient's autistic symptoms resolved themselves. The reason they wrote a case study is to figure out how that happened. The reason it's not published in a medical journal is because Chiropractic isn't the practice of medicine. Chiropractic is the only healthcare system that acknowledges the body's normal state is one of health, and our design is meant to self heal, regulate and adapt. If this isn't happening, the Chiropractor examines the spine to see if there's subluxations interfering with the body's ability to heal, and if found corrects those subluxations with an adjustment specific to that spot and that patient. See? Simple stuff, the doctor explained it very well and easy to understand.
