Believing in evidence based medicine

There's evidence based in chiropractic that it works. There's some that shows it doesn't for others

There's medication that works for some and not others. There's medication that doesn't work at all on people. Does that then mean said individual should damn evidence based medicine because the treatment didn't work on them?

If the answers no, and they've just got a complex problem, then damning chiropractic to the conclusion of charlatans, whilst claiming evidence based medicine is the only way, is just as stupid

Both fields have positive and negative results, and both fields have positive and negative feedback as to their treatments

Yes physio and chiropractic is costly, which is why it isn't on the NHS. Dental treatment isn't either, and is costly. Does that mean the dental industry is full of charlatans talking to people to make them feel better?

And this is the stalemate, because you're not going to agree with the above, neither is scrampton, cos we're both at the opposite ends of thinking.

I've even been down this road where I've listened to people who have the same view as you two that chiropractic is just some quackery. So I didn't go to one for 2 years, and the pain I ignored just got worse. In the last year I haven't been and the pain I've ignored for the whole year has inflamed more than usual

So I've done both ways, I've ignored it and it hasn't work, and I've gone and felt the benefit and been "done out of pocket" as you see it

Either way, I still have a problem that the nhs couldn't give a f**k about
