Carrie Said:

How can I thank a once in a lifetime person for saving my life?

We Answered:

Congratulations!

Believe me when I say that your success absolutely thrills her.

Have you thought about writing her a heartfelt note thanking her and acknowledging the role she had in saving your life? You write well, and with a little effort you could probably blow her mind with a great letter.

Good luck!

Stacey Said:

What is your opinion on this article?

We Answered:

Arthritis is a cyclical disease. Symptoms come and go by themselves. That is why there are so many "cures" for it whether it be gold salts or cider vinegar. When a person suffering symptoms uses any such cure and then in a couple weeks the symptoms abate he/she will attribute it to what he/she tried. Humans are casual thinkers (cause and effect) and wrongly make a connection. Then swear up and down the device/cure worked. You could probably sell anything for arthritis.

So I agree with the article.

Addition to "What does chiropractic "treat"?

We Answered:

You're missing the point.

First, are you the same chap who emailed me earlier? It's just whoever that was raised identical points. I think you've picked up the wrong end of the stick. The medical community is not saying Chiropractic is bad per se; but it does have it's limitations. It may be beneficial for mild musculoskeleta problems of soft tissue origin and this is plausible and there is some evidence to support this. However, any claims made beyond this (and many are!) are not supported and are barely plausible. This is the main problem. Providing you stay within your realms of minor musculoskeletal problems, there is no specific issue.

You should also know that in a recent meta-analysis, NOTHING came out very effective in dealing with back pain. Whether you saw a physiotherapist, an orthopedic surgeon an osteopath, or a chiropractor, etc, more or less the same percentage of patients got better over time anyway. We accept this, even though it shows some of the conventional modalities as not being very effective.

We support any practice where there is evidence of efficacy. I have conceded a possible use for chiropractic, but claims made beyond this are unsupported. No one is attacking chiropractic, in medicine all interventions are subject to scrutiny for a very specific reason. This isn't some witch hunt.

I've commented on the iatrogenic deaths plenty of times today, see my answer here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…

You can't use the errors in conventional medicine as a pro for AltMed because this still does not demonstrate efficacy. Also, one of the main reasons we cannot look at safety data with AltMed is because the vast majority of Altmed is unregulated. There is no data, this is a huge problem.

Edit: Can you please link me the study you are referring to.

Discuss It!
