donz Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I didn't have a meltdown - I asked a question purely because of what I saw in another thread where it seemed qualifications or not you still get told its voodoo rofl. I don't expect you to agree with me but it seems now that I'm asking you questions about your questions you're getting all defensive? Im quite happy sitting here reading this but it seems people also know peoples facial expressions/mood based on typing lol pretty sure you know I'm never really serious/angry, ever. But all good I'm done in here now so happy replying :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILF Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 lol I always know when I choose to post on here a thick skin is required. I'm not offended. I know my reality. It is very interesting though the debate on what is a real illness and what is apparently made up. Like I said, I didn't even know what adrenal fatigue was till I was told I had it so then I went and of course did my own research as well and found a myriad of information on it. I'm not quite sure how the chiropractic part fits in though Riccardo.I guess it's like any illness. It needs to be proven to exist. Not long ago mental health issues were not recognised as an actual illness. Unless it can be measured it can't be proven therefore isn't real right????

Riccardo Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Don mentioned something about chiro, related to another thread and its relavent here as harry said the guy who invented adrenal fatigue was also a chiro. May have headed on a bit of a tangent lol but as you can tell I feel very passionate about alternative health practitioners who don't subscribe to evidence based practice. donz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILF Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oh ok. I didn't know that. I wasn't getting my information from a chiropractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glioblastoma Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I guess it's like any illness. It needs to be proven to exist. Not long ago mental health issues were not recognised as an actual illness. Unless it can be measured it can't be proven therefore isn't real right????The difference is is that adrenal function can be measured easily and accurately with blood tests and imaging whereas neuroscience isn't at a stage where psiachiatric illnessed can be measured and diagnosed. Don't think anyones saying your illness or symptoms don't exist, but attributing them to an organ system (the adrenal glands) without substantial evidence doesn't stack up to the scrutiny of medical science.

HarryB Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think calling it adrenal fatigue is misleading when clearly it isn't the adrenal gland that's being affected if all the tests show it's ok. Who knows, for me the jury is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sick. I was advised on how to get better. It worked. That's pretty much it. Pseudonym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
