Mind over matter

In the case of the OP, the pain recurs - hence my suggestion of another visit to the doc. Hopefully the physio will do something. The osteopathy probably won't.

Well you'll argue it's anecdotal but osteopathy solved my pain i experienced in my lumbar region when i lay flat which an NHS physio said I'd have to live with because that's the way I was made. Physio didn't make one iota of difference.

can i ask where you bought your honey and how much?

Got it from Aldi - I think it was about £3-99 for 250g.

Don't know if it's "good" or as good as buying from a health store. It says it's pure honey from New Zealand.

I can understand the placebo argument and maybe placebos work for some people.

I only know my own personal experience, which boils down to placebos of any description have never ever worked on me. I think I probably always have some degree of scepticism about any remedy (including conventional medical drugs).

On me = it only works if it REALLY works.

Well, that's me never going to try homeopathy again then, as I've tried it for a couple of different things and it made not a scrap of difference to me. Other therapies that haven't "touched" me have been cranial osteopathy, crystal therapy and electro-crystal therapy. Some conventional medical drugs haven't had any effect at all either. Not to say these things mightn't work on some for whatever reason (real or placebo) but I think I'm placebo-proof and if something works on me then it REALLY works.:rotfl:Osteopathy is one of my "yep it really does work" therapies personally.

Anyway, back is now 100% back to normal now, so honey is still down on the "maybe and I'll certainly give it another try if I need to" list.

I had backache for years and years. Couldn't pin it down to an injury or whatever, and physio/chiroparacors were of limited value. Fast forward to my late fifties, and cancer, when antibiotics were prescribed regularly as part of the treatment. Hey presto! the backache has gone.....this was definatley a chronic infection, no question.
