Dave I'm not so crass as to tell everyone what I do or don't do. However I am not on any mission. I now look out for me and my family while paying my fair share of taxes.
Alternative or supplementary treatment is fine. In fact an open mind is positively to be encouraged. Exceptions to a general rule are not however evidence in support of your views and proof the current medical treatment is wrong.
Without any disrespect, the fact that you are an orthopaedic surgeon means nothing to me.
Your reply was not very respectful to the Doctor was it? The truth is your handful of supposed success stories, could well mean nothing to most people. Both in and out of the medical field.
I'm assuming of course that you are a surgeon and not a 17 year old kid still living with his mum.
If you are serious about professionals replying to your posts you may well have to work on your debating skills mate.
I can go on the internet and find thousands of so called cures. In the Express yesterday I found a promotion selling a copper insole which will help all sorts of arches and pains. In fact there was a couple of old people singing its merits on how it had helped them.

At my current job, I regularly have fresh University graduates with chemical degrees come onto my plant. They mean well but they are dangerous because nearly everything they know is from books and theory.
