Yes, there are many other procedures that are questionable by other Doctors... the problem is who to listen to.
My gosh, in the last few years, what use to be know bad for you is now good and visa versa... It only goes to show that sometimes medicine and other fields are varying...ie, they don’t always know what they are talking about, (Reminds me of other scientific fields).
It’s kind of like a jig-saw puzzle...you have to fit the pieces together yourself.
In the end, you have to go with you you feel you know and hope for the best. Most of what we know today will be gibberish in the future anyway...
I agree completely! What is good one day is bad the next. Part of the problem is the way epidemiology has been stretched to try to provide explanations for every disease and malady we experience. Some things just cannot be studied accurately. Most of the studies that purport to say eating or not eating various foods, for example, are based on asking large groups of diverse people to remember what they ate over the course of a year. How absurd!
You have to take everything with a grain of salt and make the best decisions you can with what you know.
