Laid up doc, I appreciate the frustration you have with people looking for treatments that will ultimately not help them but you're a little aggressive in your labeling. Before your back went bad, I suspect that you would have called anyone looking for an overseas surgeon more than a little wacko. Many of the "wacko cures" you just attacked have been shown to help in some cases. There's really no justification in attacking them across the board unless there's clear double-blind studies refuting them; just like the medical community demands those same studies to support their use.
