I work in allopathic care, yes, but I am not of the mind that no other forms of medical intervention are legitimate. I just try to use the best tool for the job. I have also tried to get others to use chiropractic care. One LPN spend thousands of dollars on allopathic care and got less relief than the chiropractor gave her...which I had to pay for, for her, because she was so dubious about it being worth anything. Not exactly what I'd call an audience hell bent on "homeopathy", that one. Same for a roommate of mine with hip issues. I guess what I'm saying is that I am neutral, but have taken complete "That stuff is CRAP" mindsets, paid for their visit, and watched them marvel at not hurting anymore. I have seen plenty of patients who "believe what they want" and get a massive placebo effect from it, but I have yet to see a placebo work on a patient who approaches it with a "that's crap" for a mindset.
