My only comment here is..you have clearly investigated the information available on this topic and have reached this conclusion. It works for you. However as a educated health care professional you should realize that calling a practioner, that offers a treatment that you yourself acknowledge COULD be benefifical, guilty of fraud is not appropriate. I think you need to have a discussion with your EBM professor. In the practice model there are two other equally important components of EBM (the clinican's skills and the PATIENT). It is not just about the research.
Thanks for this!
