Your feedback is most welcome and...Greetings Louis! Your feedback is most welcome and appreciated. Thee is a definite reality that some terms are more "nuclear" than others...or to put it differently, some statements are more visceral than others. The main message of the post is not that any specific specific strategy is "bad"...rather, that there are vastly different mindsets that exist. The idea of HBOT, Stem Cell, etc isn't "bad" as such, rather it manifests vastly different results in every individual. As with all interventions, results vary...but there are some that are presentated as potential "one-off" cures when thisdoesnt exists. On a deeper level, these interventions contribute to a developing mindset that there is a singular therapy / intervention that will provide you with the desired outcome...which again does not exist. You can use a very simple analogy of palnning your retirement with either playing the lottery or contributing to your retirement funds incrementally over time. Sure, its ok to play the lottery and indeed you may get lucky...but the progressive and incremental "deposit of health assets" is always successful. If some people are fortunate enough to do both, then more power to them. In most cases, only one avenue can be entertained therefore it makes alot of sense to focus on the most reliable. <br /><br />Regarding physical rehab, I will have to disagree that LONG PAINFUL sessions are the only avenue. This is a manifestation of the "no pain, no gain" perspective which completely disregards the vast majority of the sick and injured population (elderly, development delay, motor dysfunction, MS, Fibromyalgia, etc.). Long and painful in these cases is 100% detrimental and counter-productive. There is definitely alot of common ground between our respective positions...more similar than dis-similar...but the most important thing to take away from it is that "adopting the pace of nature...patience" is the most reliable roadmap. Your love for the image equals mine...it is a perfect representation how gradual and incremental application of stimulus can result in things that intuitively are percieved as impossible. <br /><br />Really glad you decided to input your comment, Louis. Thanks for reading and keep those comments coming!! Dialogue and debate are under-appreciated...it helps everyone to grow and develop! Cheers Gavin Broomes B.Sc.

Phil, I'm a little upset to see you put Stem Cells into the category of "quick fix cures" that we need to be wary of. The science of stem cell research has tremendous benefit in so many facets of health and understanding of human biology. Do some research, it'll excite you for the possibilities of tomorrow. <br /><br />In terms of physical rehabilitation, it is a totally different game. Hard work, long painful therapy sessions are the only way your body is able to get over an injury or surgery. Thanks again for the post! <br /><br />-<a href="http://ptnorthwest.com" rel="nofollow">Salem, OR</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657524540768502995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731813357458649991.post-83347176388182308072012-11-17T21:01:25.832-03:002012-11-17T21:01:25.832-03:00So true, Gavin!

In our world of disabilityland, I see many people who are really good parents of disabled kids lured by the promise of hope and snake oil...instant cure. Stem cells? HBOT? ABM? PT? Orthopedic surgery, etc. etc. Some may help, more are placebos ...never seen an instant cure. The PROMISE of cure preys upon those who are yearning for hope. Getting better is hard work and a long road!Phil Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150881545903849250noreply@blogger.com
