I think it's wonderful that you've been able to recover without medication pinkisfloyd. But part of the problem with these types of illnesses or many illnessess is that what works for one person will not work for the next. Count your blessings and perhaps stop over generalizing. Every single doctor that I've ever spoken to about any type of injury or disease has said that attitude is most of the battle. It sounds as if the doctor you were seeing was not a very good one, they're not all cast from the same mold.
