So, I have a question for Chiropractor’s and Homeopaths. But before I ask my question, I need to give some back ground on why I’m asking. About a year ago, a co-worker’s wife began vaginal spotting and feeling not quite well. Since she and her husband, my co-worker, seek out alternative health care opportunities, she went to a Chiropractor. He gave her an exam, took x-rays and told her she needed to have treatments three times a week because (paraphrasing here) of the sever subluxations and spinal curvature she was exhibiting those symptoms. He also had her go to see a partner in his practice who did acupuncture and homeopathic treatments. Oh, sorry if I don’t get the terms exactly correct, I’m relating this from memory as told to me by my co-worker. So, after a year, she isn’t getting any better and the spotting and other symptoms are getting worse. Then, last week, she collapsed at her church. The ambulance came and took her to the ER, and even though she and her husband felt the Chiropractor’s advice of staying away from “allopathic” ( ? ) medicine, which would only poison her, the Doc at the hospital pressed them to allow him to do a blood test. The test came back, and the Doc said there seemed to be a problem and wanted them to see another Doc he recommended. They relented, reluctantly, and made an appointment. They went to see this Doc, who diagnosed her with Cervical cancer, and insisted they get her to see an Oncologist and have an MRI. Ok, now they’re scared, they go see the Oncologist, get the MRI, and she is terminal with this cancer that has spread through out her body, lungs, other internal organs and spine. So, can you imagine how they feel ? A year ago, if the Chiropractor knew how to read an X-Ray, or suggested they see a “real” MD, she wouldn’t be looking at dying in four to six weeks. What, as a practitioner of “alternative” medicine do you tell these people ? I F****D up ! I didn’t mean to kill you? What ?!
I want to thank everyone for their answers. Just an update, the cancer is so agressive, that to have surgery would cause it to spread even faster. Even with that sad news, the Docs now give her only two to four weeks at most.
