Although I refuse to be drawn into the vaccination debate, I'd
like to point out that spinal manipulation, as practiced by
chiropractors, is as unnatural (and nonpaleo) as injections.

That's right.  Speaking as a parent of a child who *did* develop
autism/asperger's, but who also knows others who got that way
without being vaccinated, I know that there are no easy answers.
It's true that vaccinations don't guarantee immunity to any
disease.  It's also true that paleo diet, herbs, and chiropractic
don't guarantee immunity to any disease.
