Bottom line
Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Of 53 health claims, 22 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 24 were not independently checked.
- Primary persuasion tactic: The chiropractor becomes the root-cause diagnostician.
- Stated credentials look inflated relative to the advice given.
- Profits from the products and labs they recommend, with no clear disclosure.
- Gives advice beyond what their license covers.

Bro energy
Amanda Buchanan's narrow DC credential is presented beside functional-medicine branding and sweeping autoimmune, Lyme, hormone, toxin, neurological, and pediatric claims, with the classic confident-root-cause sales posture.
Direct answer
Amanda Buchanan, DC is licensed in Missouri as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Missouri's chiropractic scope statute (RSMo 331.010(1)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Immune & Autoimmune, Lyme disease, Mold toxicity, thyroid, and eliminate the parasite, conditions that belong with infectious-disease physicians, rheumatologists, and endocrinologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Amanda Buchanan, DC profits from.
Key findings
- False Authority: Amanda Buchanan is identified as a chiropractor, while the practice markets broad functional-medicine assessment and treatment for systemic disease categories.see section ↓
- Claim "The practice portrays conventional doctors as mainly prescribing medications that mask sy…": not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.see section ↓
- Claim "The content claims that symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, insomni…": not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.see section ↓
- Amanda Buchanan, DC shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
- Dr Amanda Buchanan is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
- Against Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners scope rules (RSMo 331.010(1)), these advertised activities appear outside Amanda Buchanan, DC's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat): Immune & Autoimmune, Lyme disease, Mold toxicity.see section ↓
- 37 of 37 advertised activities fall outside permitted Chiropractor scope in MO.see section ↓
- Amanda Buchanan, DC dispenses specific medical advice while hiding behind a buried fine-print disclaimer to shield advice that is itself outside their licensed scope.see section ↓
Dr. Trust Me Bro says
Amanda Buchanan is the chiropractic root-cause concierge, diagnosing the invisible parade of toxins, pathogens, hormones, gut mysteries, and deficiencies before escorting everyone toward a personalized plan and a conveniently nearby supplement cart. Why settle for ordinary medical uncertainty when a branded protocol can turn every symptom into a funnel stage?
Claims & evidence
In their own published words, they present themselves as qualified to treat, or give advice on, 36 conditions or treatments. A chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, and the scope review placed each one outside it. Each box leads with state-board scope notation; literature cross-check follows when we matched a specific claim. Every card carries its receipts: the quoted wording, a live source link, and an archived copy.

Lyme disease
- Supports
- The listed evidence supports that these symptoms can occur in multiple legitimate conditions and may justify a structured medical evaluation. Fatigue, cognitive difficulties, sleep disturbance, and joint pain can be features of ME/CFS, but diagnostic criteria require a characteristic pattern, functional impairment, persistence, and exclusion of other causes rather than assuming one hidden cause . Insomnia is common after mild traumatic brain injury, but this demonstrates an association, not a unique underlying cause . Lyme disease can cause joint pain and cognitive or fatigue symptoms in appropriate clinical contexts, but diagnosis requires compatible clinical findings and validated testing rather than nonspecific symptoms alone .
- Contradicts
- The claim overstates what symptoms can establish. Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, insomnia, and hormonal complaints are nonspecific and have broad differentials, including sleep disorders, thyroid disease, diabetes, anemia, medication effects, mental-health conditions, inflammatory disease, and other medical disorders . Guidelines describe medically unexplained symptoms as complaints without a sufficient identified structural or specified pathology, not as proof that a single concealed cause exists . ME/CFS guidance specifically recommends excluding other likely causes and states that there is no diagnostic test or test pattern that identifies it . For persistent nonspecific symptoms attributed to Lyme disease without objective evidence of reinfection or treatment failure, guidelines recommend against additional antibiotics . The listed papers do not establish that a practice can reliably uncover one underlying cause for this broad symptom cluster, and they provide no adequate evidence that mold toxicity is a validated explanation for these symptoms in general or that autoimmune flares can be inferred from them without objective clinical and laboratory assessment.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medicine treats these symptoms as real but nonspecific. Clinicians should take a careful history, perform an examination, assess red flags, and use targeted testing based on the presentation; sometimes a specific diagnosis is found, while other cases remain medically unexplained or involve multiple interacting factors. Lyme disease, autoimmune disease, endocrine disorders, sleep disorders, and environmental exposures require condition-specific evidence and should not be diagnosed from this symptom list alone. A practice claiming it can identify one underlying cause for all or most such presentations is not supported by high-quality evidence.

Amanda Buchanan, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure The content claims that a ferritin level of 18 can be technically outside anemia criteria while still being insufficient for thyroid hormone function, oxygen transport, and hair growth..
The content claims that a ferritin level of 18 can be technically outside anemia criteria while still being insufficient for thyroid hormone function, oxygen transport, and hair growth.
- Supports
- A ferritin level of 18 is compatible with depleted or deficient iron stores even when hemoglobin remains above the laboratory threshold for anemia; iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia are distinct conditions. Iron is required for hemoglobin synthesis and therefore oxygen transport, although clinically important impairment of oxygen delivery is more clearly established once anemia develops. Low ferritin has been associated with thyroid dysfunction in observational and mechanistic literature, but this does not establish that ferritin of exactly 18 impairs thyroid hormone function in an otherwise euthyroid person. In women with diffuse telogen hair loss, ferritin at or below 30 ng/mL was strongly associated with hair loss in one observational study, supporting that 18 may be clinically relevant in some patients.
- Contradicts
- The listed papers do not address ferritin, thyroid function, oxygen transport, or hair growth; they therefore provide no direct support for this claim. Evidence linking low ferritin to hair loss is inconsistent and largely observational: a study of female pattern hair loss and chronic telogen effluvium found no statistically significant excess of iron deficiency compared with controls when ferritin thresholds of 15 or 40 were used. A systematic review reported lower ferritin in women with nonscarring alopecia but concluded that there is no clear-cut evidence of a causal association, and an evidence assessment found no established cause-and-effect relationship between iron intake and maintenance of normal hair growth. A ferritin value alone cannot establish impaired thyroid hormone production or inadequate oxygen transport; interpretation depends on hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, inflammation, symptoms, thyroid tests, and clinical context.
- Mainstream view
- Ferritin of 18 ng/mL commonly suggests low iron stores and can represent iron deficiency without anemia, so it merits clinical interpretation rather than dismissal solely because anemia criteria are not met. Iron is biologically involved in hemoglobin-mediated oxygen transport and thyroid hormone synthesis, but a ferritin of 18 does not by itself prove functional impairment of either process. Low ferritin may be associated with diffuse hair shedding in some people, particularly when ferritin is 30 ng/mL or lower, but causation and benefit from iron treatment are not established for every patient. The claim is therefore directionally plausible for iron-store depletion and possible hair relevance, but overstates certainty about thyroid function, oxygen transport, and hair growth.

Amanda Buchanan, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure eliminate the parasite.
eliminate the parasite
- Supports
- No high-quality evidence supports chiropractic (DC) treatment as a method to eliminate parasitic infections. The listed records concern unrelated conditions and interventions and provide no relevant evidence for parasite treatment. A systematic review found no clinical studies showing that spinal manipulation prevents infectious disease or improves disease-specific outcomes in infectious disease; the authors concluded that efficacy claims should not be made.
- Contradicts
- Parasitic infections require organism-specific diagnosis and antiparasitic management, not spinal manipulation. WHO guidance identifies anthelmintic medicines such as albendazole or mebendazole, alongside sanitation and hygiene, as measures for controlling soil-transmitted helminth infections. WHO describes periodic treatment with antiparasitic medicines as the control strategy in endemic settings. The cited papers on diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, angioplasty, medical education, heart failure, mHealth, training, and SCENAR therapy do not evaluate chiropractic treatment for parasites and therefore cannot support this claim.
- Mainstream view
- Chiropractic manipulation is not an evidence-based treatment for eliminating parasitic infections. Suspected or confirmed infection should be assessed by an appropriately qualified medical clinician, with treatment selected according to the parasite, site of infection, severity, and patient factors. Chiropractic care should not replace diagnostic evaluation or antiparasitic therapy.

- Supports
- Specific parasitic infections can often be diagnosed and effectively treated with disease-specific antiparasitic medicines, and public-health programs use targeted preventive chemotherapy for some neglected tropical diseases. The listed papers discuss important parasite biology, including Leishmania reproduction and African trypanosome movement, but they do not evaluate a general parasite-elimination intervention or parasite cleanse .
- Contradicts
- The claim is too broad to establish a treatment recommendation: parasites comprise many unrelated organisms and infections requiring different diagnostic tests and therapies. CDC guidance states that testing is selected according to symptoms, medical conditions, and travel history, and that no single blood test detects all parasitic infections. There is no high-quality evidence here that a generalized cleanse, detox, supplement regimen, or other nonspecific approach eliminates parasites. The listed papers on fish ectoparasites, breaking bad news, clinical trial registrations, and unrelated topics do not provide direct evidence for broad human parasite elimination .
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical view is that suspected parasitic infection should be assessed with an appropriate clinical and laboratory evaluation, followed by pathogen- and site-specific treatment prescribed by a qualified clinician. Routine parasite cleansing of people without a confirmed or clinically indicated infection is not an evidence-based general medical recommendation. The phrase may describe educational content, but as a health claim it does not specify a parasite, intervention, population, or outcome sufficiently to support efficacy.

Amanda Buchanan, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Environmental Toxicity.
Environmental Toxicity
- Supports
- No high-quality evidence supports chiropractor treatment as a treatment for environmental toxicity, toxic exposure, or poisoning. The listed randomized trial found changes in selected physiological biomarkers after chiropractic adjustments, but it did not demonstrate removal of environmental toxins or treatment of toxic exposure. A review discussing chiropractic detoxification states that no studies identified specific toxins reduced by a chiropractic or nutritional detoxification program and describes liver toxicity in this context as undefined.
- Contradicts
- The available evidence does not establish that spinal manipulation removes toxins, reverses toxic effects, or treats environmental illness. Research on spinal manipulation primarily concerns musculoskeletal outcomes such as low back pain; the listed WHO reviews address TENS, exercise, and needling rather than environmental toxicity or detoxification. Reports of biomarker changes are surrogate findings and do not demonstrate clinical detoxification or improved outcomes from toxic exposure. Chiropractic manipulation also has potential adverse effects, including rare but serious complications, so it should not substitute for exposure removal, toxicology assessment, or evidence-based medical treatment.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical practice does not recognize chiropractic treatment as an evidence-based therapy for environmental toxicity. Management depends on identifying and stopping the exposure, appropriate testing when indicated, supportive care, and exposure-specific treatment such as antidotes or chelation only under qualified medical supervision. Chiropractic care may be considered for some musculoskeletal symptoms, but claims that it detoxifies the body or treats poisoning are unsupported.

Amanda Buchanan, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Chronic Symptoms.
Chronic Symptoms
- Supports
- A personalized, comprehensive assessment of chronic symptoms can appropriately consider biomedical, psychological, social, behavioral, and functional factors, and may guide further testing and symptom management. However, this supports individualized clinical assessment, not necessarily the ability to identify a single foundational root cause. The retrospective functional-medicine cohort reported associations between a root-cause-oriented care model and improved health-related quality of life and biometric outcomes, but it was not a randomized trial and cannot establish diagnostic validity or causation. The listed papers otherwise concern foundations, funding, or organizational programs rather than validated root-cause diagnostic methods.
- Contradicts
- There is no high-quality direct evidence in the listed papers demonstrating that a personalized root-cause assessment can reliably identify foundational causes of chronic symptoms. Evidence on functional medicine remains largely observational, and proposed broad categories such as toxins, microbiome disturbances, immune imbalance, or detoxification are not established universal causes of chronic symptoms. Root-cause analysis literature mainly addresses healthcare safety incidents rather than diagnosing patient symptoms, and reviews note uncontrolled designs, methodological variability, and limited quantitative patient outcomes. Standard clinical guidance instead recommends history, examination, validated assessments, targeted diagnostic testing, and evaluation for specific conditions; chronic symptoms often have multiple interacting biomedical, psychological, and social contributors rather than one discoverable root cause.
- Mainstream view
- A personalized, comprehensive and biopsychosocial assessment is mainstream and clinically appropriate when performed by qualified clinicians using validated methods and targeted testing. The stronger claim that a practice can identify foundational root causes of chronic symptoms through its proprietary or unspecified assessment is not established without evidence of diagnostic accuracy, validated criteria, appropriate comparison standards, and improved patient outcomes. The listed papers do not provide that evidence.

Amanda Buchanan, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to advertise The practice claims its CLEAR Protocol can systematically address infections, toxins, and deficiencies and achieve root-cause resolution. as within their scope of practice.
The practice claims its CLEAR Protocol can systematically address infections, toxins, and deficiencies and achieve root-cause resolution.
- Supports
- Infections, toxic exposures, and nutritional deficiencies are real, distinct clinical problems that can interact; nutritional assessment and correction of documented deficiencies can support outcomes in some infectious diseases. The infectious-disease nutrition literature recommends anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary assessment rather than assuming deficiencies, and reports benefit from supplementation in selected conditions. However, this does not validate a single CLEAR Protocol or establish root-cause resolution. The listed papers describe specific pathogens, host responses, or biological mechanisms, not a comprehensive protocol with demonstrated clinical effectiveness. The HPV paper reviews viral biology and persistence rather than protocol-based eradication.
- Contradicts
- No cited paper evaluates the CLEAR Protocol, and none demonstrates that it can systematically identify and treat all infections, toxins, and deficiencies or achieve root-cause resolution. The listed pathogen papers address particular organisms and mechanisms, including HPV persistence, resistant Klebsiella evolution, coagulase-negative staphylococci, and Cryptosporidium, so they cannot support a universal treatment claim. Evidence reviews find little high-quality evidence for commercial detoxification programs; a systematic review found no methodologically rigorous controlled trials supporting colonic cleansing for general health and reported adverse effects. Small or uncontrolled detoxification studies and biomarker changes do not establish toxin removal, treatment of disease, or durable clinical resolution. A 2023 controlled nutritional intervention reported selected changes in antioxidant-related biomarkers but no significant changes in several health and detoxification outcomes, which is not evidence of root-cause resolution.
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical view is that infections require diagnosis-specific management, toxic exposures require identification, source control and evidence-based toxicology treatment, and deficiencies require validated assessment followed by targeted replacement. A broad branded protocol may contain useful components if those components are individually indicated, but the claim of systematic coverage and root-cause resolution requires direct, well-designed clinical trials with defined diagnoses and outcomes. Current evidence does not establish that CLEAR Protocol provides this.

Credentials & scope
Glossary: Chiropractor (“Dr.”)
Learn: Is a chiropractor a medical doctor?
Stated: D.C., Doctor of Chiropractic, B.S. in Kinesiology, B.S. in Psychology · Likely: Chiropractor, Bachelor's degrees in Kinesiology and Psychology
Amanda Buchanan's stated professional credential is a Doctor of Chiropractic, with undergraduate degrees in kinesiology and psychology. The practice uses that narrow credential alongside broad functional-medicine branding and claims about systemic disease, which is credential inflation rather than evidence that Amanda Buchanan holds an MD or DO license.
