Check out the 5/29 issue (just came out) with the cover article titled, "Medical Guesswork: From heart surgery to prostate care, the medical industry knows little about which treatments really work."
Hey, this is exactly what Sarno and others have been saying for years!
A few excerpts from the article: "Treatments are based largely on rules and traditions, not scientific evidence." "Can you trust your doctor's recommendations to have surgery for an aching back? Evidence says surgery does not fix the problem over the long term any better than time, physical therapy, and exercise. Indeed...pain clinics are full of people who have had back surgery and are now worse off." "Go to one doctor, and get one answer. Go to another one and get a different one."
It's good to see the mainstream press printing articles like this one. |

Ralph.
Excellent article. Many thanks for the link. A long article, but fascinating. The quote is towards the end.

Here's a link to that article online. However, it may be slightly different, as I couldn't find that particular quotation.
