(17,838 posts)But in the meantime, people are going to try different things and some of them either will be helped. Some also won't be helped. I've been on various medications through the years. Some of them haven't done shit for me but have made a big difference in the lives of others. Chiropractors have never done anything for me, but I've known people with sinus trouble, for instance, who have gotten instant relief when visiting a chiropractor.
People have lots of problems, real and psychological (which are also very real to them). Some of them aren't helped by certified doctors but they're helped by alternative medicine. They can't all be wrong. Studies will be done on some of those cures in the future and it will be proven exactly why they work, and the answer might surprise us. Time will tell. People should be open-minded but cautious about these things.
