Can a chiropractor treat mold illness?

Conditions that named non-physician doctors, mostly chiropractors, list as things they treat, grouped by who is most at risk if the advertised care is wrong. Every name links to the full dossier, the page it was said on, and the state rule we read it against.

In Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, mold illness is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 9 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Mold-related illness and chronic inflammatory response syndrome are contested diagnoses; where they are investigated at all it is by allergists, immunologists and occupational medicine physicians. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
