83. Be wary of ANY medicine
Any type medicine has its uses and misuses. Beware of the misuses.

That can be a DC who "prescribes" supplements for a particular condition, acting in many states beyond their scope of practice, or says they can cure everything, that everything is related to subluxations.

That can be a MD who prescribes an antibiotic for a viral infection, or says they can cure everything.

That can be a LAC who says they can cure everything by acupuncture.

That can be ANYONE who says they can cure everything by whatevetheheck they do.

Each has its uses, each has its misuses. Yes, I am a "worshiper of science" person. If it can't be proven, repeatedly, I don't believe it works. Unfortunately it is too easy for an unscrupulous practitioner of some sort of "medicine" to take advantage of people, especially those practitioners who are unlicensed or minimally monitored.
