“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition.”[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]”
Ok, I’ll admit that I learned something today - so that’s a win - but did you even read the article you linked?
So, ya know, it’s not being called an organ by anyone but this group of researchers…
I am glad you read it, this subject matter fascinates me.
It’s essentially almost like a new discovery from only 5 years ago. I think we are about to learn much more about the different roles this system (organ) plays.
I am not going to debate about whether some groups have declared it an organ or not. I believe it will be in time anyway.
The research surrounding this is interesting because you have so many people jumping into it that some people are simultaneously saying things like “I think this could be a way cancer moves around the body” and another being like “Yeah, I basically proved that already. I am attempting to figure out how to stop it”
