Isn't part of healing giving back the power to the patient on all levels? Isn't conventional medicine about keeping patients as victims and making them powerless? Health is in the mind and how we interpret our environment, our cells are communities. Health cannot be compartmentalized and ridiculed with shoddy 'modern science'! This article just shows how fearful some people really are about who they are....wake up!! Very good article for a person with a limited perception of what health is really about!

If you would like to add to that debate, then please go ahead (some pages had an error), although expect a hard time if you just post about anecdotes and wishful thinking.

However as a novice to social media and with a professional interest in balance and fairness I would like to be informed of the mechanics of posting (specifally to the chiropractic section which does not have this comment box facility).

The value of your business will increase even further by creating letters to add to your qualification such as

A.M.G.N.I.for associated members or M.G.N.I. for full members.

Can you offer a critique of this post, rather than looking to Hitler for your inspiration? What aspect of alt med have I characterised here that is unfair or wrong? Anything? Can you make a coherent response? In short, can you substantiate your claim that this is just a lie? So, come on Anonymous.

They rarely add anything useful - and mostly just hide acute stupidity behind their anonymity. And before ananymous gets upset, I am not asking for names, addresses etc, just that you adopt a consistent online identity so that you be accountable for your daftness.
