They need to include a third branch — those undertaking exercise therapy (stretching, strengthening, and cardio) and weight loss.
My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis in grade school. The bone specialist wanted to insert rods on either side of her spine to make it “grow straight”. I got online and found horrendous photos of spines bending around those rods and making the problem worse.
Friend who was a chiropractor gave her several treatments, which stopped the curving from getting worse, then suggested The Alexander Technique, gentle lessons that encouraged the neck to be free, to allow the head to go forward and up, to let the spine lengthen and back widen. Etc. In other words, she learned to move without putting any downward pressure in the wrong places.
When her spine began to improve, I asked the MD if he would like to know what we were doing, He said NO. And that was the end of my trust in the medical community.
Fortunately I now have a great MD, but he wasn’t trained in the US where med schools are funded by Big Pharma. So he prescribes 12 supplements for me that keep me very very healthy. In the last 15 years, I had one cold, lasted five days. No Covid shots, just natural immunity. Doc in on that too.
We are dedicated to prevention rather than cures for almost all medical conditions. Break a leg? I did and have two MDs for that. And am grateful for their expertise and one has a great sense of humor.
