I'm MD trained. I have encountered a lot of DO's, and they are great doctors. The reason I didn't do DO was because test scores tend to be a bit lower at those schools (see below), and I was afraid it wouldn't prepare me as well as an MD school.

Some authors note the differences in average GPA and MCAT scores of those who matriculate at D.O. schools versus those who matriculate at M.D. schools within the United States. In 2012, the average MCAT and GPA for students entering U.S.-based M.D. programs were 31.2 and 3.68,[45] respectively, and 26.85 and 3.51 for D.O. matriculants

As for chiros: If you understand the risks and you get relief, go for it. I'm wary of them doing allergy testing, though. I've heard they do IgG testing instead of IgE, which drives allergists up a wall because it is fundamentally flawed.

Shamans and witch doctors are also options. Or herbalists. All great

It's not quackery, that comes from their competition the medical profession and they were sued and lost for that kind of defamation. It's just a whole different view of health and the body and that it heals itself. That's all it is. Sure, they can make you come too long—SOME of them. Other than that, it's just a different kind of care which has a place.

Some medical doctors sell you unnecessary surgery where a chiro can save you a LOT of money. It just depends on each situation. Chiros are cheaper than medical generally speaking.

I only got to DO's. In my experience MD's are to closed minded.

What if it gets results? Isn't that what matters? I don't know what those things are but mine was done using blood work and mine also got my blood work from an osteo who did not suspect allergies but saw no pathology either. He didn't know what was wrong. She looked at the same test differently and ordered more blood work where foods get dipped into your blood to determine reaction and the amount of reaction. It handled all my symptoms and I was back to battery.

I'd have to look it up but I think it was the AMA that got sued.

Their blood testing is IgG. This is a pretty simple way of describing it:

Quote:

So where does immunoglobulin G (IgG) come in? IgG molecules mediate interactions of cells with different cellular and humoral mechanisms. IgG antibodies signify exposure to products—not allergy. IgG may actually be a marker for food tolerance, not intolerance, some research suggests:

Children with eczema and egg or milk allergies with higher levels of IgG to milk/egg were more likely to be tolerant of these foods at a later age.
Resolution of cow’s milk allergy is associated with increasing IgG
A study found increasing IgG in patients who underwent oral immunotherapy for milk or peanut allergy
That research is continuing. But given the lack of correlation between the presence of IgG and physical manifestations of illness, IgG testing is considered unproven as a diagnostic agent as the results lack clinical utility as a tool for dietary modification or food elimination.

Apparently mine was IgG with more.

I'm glad you got relief. I'm just trying to present the science, not question the validity of your story. If it worked, it worked.

Just saying, there had to be some science behind it if it worked. Her wall was covered with testimonials by others too, including some treated by allopathic physicians. In fact my gyn goes to her for some things.
