    I hit 60 twelve days ago. To celebrate, my body gave me some new pain in the left side of my ribcage. Wonderful.

    I’m not particularly keen on non-evidence based medicine, so I would never see a chiropractor. If you need to see a medical practitioner, visit your local GP and then a physiotherapist.

    The AMA and the pharmacy industry are hand in hand. They are like a huge powerful trade union. They don’t want anyone telling you that it is possible to get well without them.

    Not “You understand your parents better.” You better understand your parents. If you know what’s good for you.

    An apple a day really does keep the doctors away. No kidding! And, I take offense at J.Short’s jab at “pharmacy.” Maybe he meant “pharmaceutical.” Big difference. Pharmacists know all too well the dangers of drugs/drug interactions… spent 4+ years learning all the in’s and out’s of that… and are spending our careers watching for it/warning docs/warning patients. Just sayin’. No offense toward chiropractors, in general. I’ve known good ones. I’m an integrative pharmacist and recommend folks to alternative practitioners whenever appropriate.

    I’ve had good chiropractice experiences myself, and do trust them when appropriate. I also trust some medical doctors. It has a lot to do with whether or not I perceive them seeing me as a person and not a “case”.
