“alternative” practitioners have been keeping humans healthy for several millennia prior to the existence of the AMA and their so-called “standard of care”.
The magic of placebo. Chiropractic school dropout, with the bonus of having a ex girlfriend who was a Herbal Doctor. A Naturopath? I forget.
What really sealed the deal was this one professor. Attractive lady whom spoke like she was addressing the United Nations. I still remember the time she told me to show the class my Coccyx. I was relieve I had good underware on.
Back to the most rediculious statement from the red lipstick mouth of a PhD. (I comment on her appearance because she was cute. So--please don't take it any other way. I know there are people waiting to pounce.)
She stated,
"We have over 15 upper cervical techniques, and they All work equally well." Studies, and Placebo Effect are conviently never talked about at that school."
That said, I feel most modern medicine is not much better.
Placebo rules in every healing art.
The kid in front of me, at Chiro school, was the spitting image of health. I was actually jealous. He was getting weekly adjustments. He was getting something called a Rotary Adjustment.
He was biking with his wife, and father in-law on a sunny Saturday. He stopped peddling, and fell over. Died of a massive stroke, at 25.
While I'm here. Sharon Stone was a big Chiro fanatic. Out of the blue she developed bilateral aneurisms, or tears?, in her neck. A world renowned vascular surgeon happened to be giving a talk at UCSF. The hospital asked him to perform the delicate surgery. It was obviously successful.
Those so called alternative practitioners lack scientific rigor, I am afraid of, or more likely just do not know what they are doing. Exceptions exists of course.
Many have more scientific rigor than AMA acolytes. Not all, of course. And then again the AMA and its ilk have plenty of breakdowns of scientific rigor. Let’s see now, vioxx, valsartan, omeprazole, to name a few. And let’s not forget the completely unscientific circus around hydroxychloroquine and those effectively denied treatment on that pack of lies (research surgisphere to get to the truth there)
