Well put Remington. Fifteen years ago I would not have given the time of day to ANY form of alternative medicine. At the same time I truly believe that Doctors are pill prescribers, treating the symptoms not the cause. My philosophy is to avoid them all unless you have no alternative.
Now my attitudes have changed, somewhat. Alternative medicine does work. As far as Chiropractors are concerned, yes they can make you feel better. However anything they can do will solve itself inside three months anyway if you leave it alone and NEVER let them touch your neck. I still have the philosophy that if you are not in dire need of medical attention stay away from the medical professions. However speaking from personal experience alternative medicine can offer relief and cures in some cases where traditional medicine cannot.

If you require medical attention you should always, always seek it. However if no relief or conclusion is found then you owe it to yourself to seek "alternative solutions" no matter what your mind set might be.
