    Default Burtonreport, legit or not?

    Editor's Curriculum Vitae, Has anybody heard of this charles burton? Is this legit? It looks like a good site, but then again kind of fishy that u can email mris to some plaza in mn for a charge im sure to be evaluated idk. Supposedly this guy is legit but again idk, supposedly is head of this restorativespinecenter.com or something of that nature. From the email I received, It seemed very short and hard to explain, but kind of had like a foreigner way of response lol. So If anbody knows if this is legit stuff or quackery would be interesting to talk about. I do think the site is right in avoiding complicated fusions if possible. they say he has invented some more flexible fusion devices and ones that can be seen on mri.

    I've read most of articles from his site. Although some of them are pretty outdated, they all make sense.

    EDIT: I have not seen this part about flexible fusion devices and MRI.

    I did some digging too Sportsnut, especially since I am here in Minnesota, where he practices....I also found his articles to be somewhat dated. Strange that his burtonreport was booted off Twitter....didn't say why. But that was supposed to direct you to a blog of his to follow called something like Ari Live, which also lead to no where. Somewhat suspicious to me.......
