Just another chiropractor way the hell out of his depth imo.

You may have taken over my role lol. Countless thousands before i gave up on that path. But if it helps you great. Just be careful lots of quacks out there and in the patient groups imo.

In my never humble opinion mostly an alternative medicine fad resting on shaky assumptions about the significance of common polymorphisms on the mthfr gene. Blamed for a whole spectrum of ailments by the internet proponents and patient groups.

Many tms experts have said that fibro and cfs are just tms including howard schubiner.

People seek advice from people they trust or share their biases sometimes even if it is not rational. I see it a lot in online communities.

They came here seeking advice on what to do and were told by some they should ignore the doctors. If that doesnt bother you so be it. I am done.

Read what i wrote again please. I was referring to the prior episode where someone was told to ignore a potential neurological emergency as nonsense not her. I specifically said what she said was no big deal and that she likely was right and very clearly explained before that it was just a...

Of course. I never suggested fear mongering.

People are vulnerable and not always smart, you never know how seriously they will take your answer. What pt said is not a big deal but this episode i described exception or not was appalling to me. Saw similar nonsense on the other forum too, lot of amateur diagnosing going on with some...
