    Always odd that people assume I've never tried alt med therapies. I've been to pretty much everything from osteopaths to psychic healers, reiki therapists to Alexander techniquers, and even a natural healer who tried to cure a wart on my foot with a piece of steakhttps://twitter.com/FaimanBenj/status/1080027716626366466 …

    Clearly an uneducated assumption from someone who reads articles but never experiences the treatment. It’s ok. The fastest growing allied health service doesn’t need this guy

        After my son was born I took arnica for bruising (had no idea what it was, it was recommended by a magazine) & within a fortnight I was back in with a secondary pph. Homeopaths don’t seem to like me recounting that anecdote, despite the fact they rely on their own so heavily.

        They could prove it... Fasted growing means nothing but an effective marketing scam.

        I don't think we should discount alt med all together. Esp in the pain realm. My issues is that many "natural doctors" are not forthcoming and decieve people taking advantage of their state

        The real problem is that people think it matters if you have personal experience with alt med, as if such experience were probative. I don't have to jump off a tall building to know I'd fall and die.

        The reason a lot of these techniques may not work for you is because of your mindset. Your body and it’s mechanisms are controlled by the brain and if you’re closed minded about a practice your body won’t respond to it. Healing requires a desire to be healed

        Yeah, it's not that I'm a Quack, it's that you didn't have the right mindset.
