I do not see the kindling model as a pro med theory myself. I know it can be "used" for pro med and is. If the Kindling model was correct, could it not be be halted by other treatments besides meds ? The theory is that if you can stop from happening or at a much slower milder pace, then kindling could be stopped or slowed down. What I don't see, is that if this theory were true, why meds would have to be the only route. At least not for everyone. I am neither pro-med or anti-med. I am just asking out of curiosity.
