@snowberry “I’ve had tons of stuff done to me that medical professionals have told me were “safe” and “proven” with all their scientific data they held up as proof, but brought me nothing in return, and/or cost me thousands, and/or have harmed my health. ”
By medical professionals, are you referring to board-certified medical doctors? Not all studies are well-designed, well-implemented, honest, or repeatable by others, and sometimes even very reputable MD’s can be taken in by faulty research. Also, it’s important to note that not all treatments that are effective, are so for all people in every circumstance. Just because a treatment works significantly better than a fake treatment, doesn’t mean it’s 100% effective for everyone in every situation.
MD’s are trained to use treatments that have been proven to be safe and effective, while weighing other relevant factors. This doesn’t mean that they’re going to have 100% success rate, even if they are doing everything they know how to do to make you well. When you get a bacterial infection, doctors will prescribe antibiotics, but it’s possible your infected with a strain of bacteria that’s resistant to antibiotics. This doesn’t mean that the MD did the wrong thing by prescribing you the standard antibiotics first.
It’s also possible that your condition may have been psychogenic. This doesn’t mean you’re lying, or faking or that your symptoms aren’t “real”, but that the cause of your disorder originates in the mind. In such cases, most conventional therapies aimed at treating physical causes will be ineffective. It’s possible that the cause is something modern medicine hasn’t discovered yet, or that the medical professionals you visited weren’t very good at their jobs. There’s nothing wrong with getting second, third, forth opinions. There are legitimate controversies in the medical field that haven’t been studied enough for a firm conclusion to be reached. There are many reasonable explanations.
