    Maybe, maybe not. Most veterinarians dispense most of their medications, too - do you think any less of them because of the revenue stream they have there?

    Honestly...yes. At times they seem pushy about it.

    I haven't really given where vets are making their money any thought. If it's drug company revenue that's spurring on the prescribing of unnecessary meds, then I probably would think less of them. So yeah, maybe, maybe not.

    I went to this doc probably 10 years ago, and I don't remember the pills being outrageously expensive (like, they weren't as much as my bc pills are now), so, for sure, he wasn't getting rich off me...but maybe there was a cummulative revenue incentive. If it turned out he was profitting big from the supplements, I'd question his motives. He appeared to me to be a sincere man who had some pretty radical ideas about health, but maybe he really had a mattress full of dough he'd swindeled from the suckers like me who bought his snake oil .

    Neither the treatments nor method were the best choice for me, but it could be the life changing for someone else. There are probably lots of people who think acupucture is quackery, too, and lots who believe it has proven benefits.

    Don't waste your $$

    I had this done several years ago. The "doctor" said I did not have lupus - hmmm - maybe my board certified Georgetown graduate rheumatologist needs to know this!

    I went to a chiropractor for pain in my leg. He did this & diagnosed childhood traumas that he needed to clear.

    Last - my DOG had this done. They diagnosed leaky gut & gave him herbs. They didn't work & he hated them.

    That's my experience!
    To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
