[/QUOTE]BTW, all this point about approved medical procedures has nothing to do with ice treatment.[/QUOTE]
True, never said it did. My point is that the medical procedures that the FDA does approve are based ONLY on STUDIES showing that they are safe and efficacious. The FDA is NOT interested in how old and established a procedure is or how many people believe it works. I said that to enhance the validity of the way I personally rely more on studies over anything else..
[/QUOTE]The central point I am trying to make here is that just because something has been around a while doesn't mean we should dismiss it.[/QUOTE]
Nor does it mean that we should use it either. Actually the length something has been around doesn't add or subtract validity. It doesn't mean anything..
[/QUOTE]A lot of times when something has stood the test of time there just may be a reason for it.[/QUOTE]
Maybe, maybe not. Either way it's not much good.
That's the reason we didn't throw the idea out in the beginning. It had been around so long. But when researchers got around to checking it out they couldn't find any valid reason to use it..
The debate rages on.....!!
