A couple of years ago I would have considered this stuff really fringe but I’ve actually come to think some of this so called fringe therapy has benefit. It might not be for everyone, but covid and the useless and damaging drugs have convinced me that it’s good to seek alternative treatments outside of the mainstream.

Years ago I had a very smart primary care physician. He was telling me that he had a patient with a very bad back who was told he needed back and disc surgery. That patient was worried about surgery and wanted to try a chiropractor but was afraid that the chiropractor might do damage. He wanted to know what the risk was trying a chriopractor. With the patient in his office the MD called up someone he knew who was a chiropractor and asked him what his malpractirce insurance was a year. It was less than one tenth of what back surgeons were charged. My MD told his patient, insurance companies are very good at figuring out risk. “Insurance for chiropractors is a fraction of insurance for back surgeons. It’s up to you but it doesn’t seem very risky to try it.”

Absolutely!
covid taught me that conventional medicine is the last resort
and it has been fun to explore the alternatives

the malpractice insurance comparison is very telling
