Vicki's trip

[Guest guest]

>It was as i thought...trying to drum up chiropractic business.

>Has anyone ever heard of the Vax-D treatments? >>

Nope....but, hey, I pretty much live under a rock <G>

>That is what they are doing...looks like pretty fancy PT to me.

>They said that they didn't do people with pacemakers because of the chance

>of pulling out the wires, but that I was young enough it shouldn't matter.

>Hello?? I don't want my wires pulled out any more than an 80 year old lady

>does!>>

LOL Well.....YEA! DUH OK...this worries me already!!!

>I didn't get a diagnosis, they copied what the other docs said about my CT

>films without looking at them, talked about my symptoms, no toe touching

>or any exam...and then he tried to talk me into this Vax-D. I would have

>to drive 2 hrs round trip 4 times a week for 6 weeks and costs $3600 since

>my insurance won't cover it. Yeah...like that is going to happen! He did

>say that he would get me pain free and back in the streets as a working

>paramedic if I followed the program and continued with an at home exercise

>program for the rest of my life. Garanteed it with an 80% success rate.

>Said the other 20% didn't exercise at home.

>I took a friend with me and afterwards asked her what her thoughts

>were...she is non-medically trained and doesn't know anything about backs.

>She said " you know in the olden days when a man whould arrive in a town

Well crud! I was hoping that it would be much better than that! I'm sorry

that it wasn't a better turnout than that dear.

Speaking of snake oil type treatments.....I was talking to a gal last

night. She had been in a car accident some 10 years ago. Had terrible

things done to her back and ended up in a wheelchair. The Dr refused to do

surgery on her.....he said that there just wasn't much he could do for her,

so he sent her to a Holistic Dr. This lady Dr did some manual

manipulation, then she would get her nerves burned at the endings (OUCH!)

then she would set in a sauna for like 4 hours to keep the swelling

down. She also took something like 4000 mg of calcium, tons of shark

cartilage.....she couldn't remember the rest of it. She said that she had

to start out crawling, but she was walking today because of that lady! She

had to do this regimen for like 18 months tho! WOW Anyways...one day when

we can set down in a warm place & chat, I'll try to write some stuff

down....we were standing out in the 32 degree weather smoking!

LOL Brrrrrrrrrrrrr Anyone else notice that the titanium makes your bones

get colder.....or so it seems? <G>

Ask me about my new MSM lotion for aches/pains!
