Why this has so many upvotes? This is very much a wall of text with just waffle and very little substance.

The "mind-body" thing is a great tool for doctors who are into abuse and take pleasure in having power over their patients.

"You are still having chronic pain, because you are not working hard enough!"

"No, I will not prescribe you medication. The pain is in your head!"

Oh and abusive partners also love this crap. You have a flare up? No you don't! You are just a lazy slob who doent't want to work and is whinging like a little baby. Stop imagining your pain!

GTFO with this crap.

It has many upvotes because HN loves to think of itself as "against the establishment." The alternative medicine folks tend to think this.

In reality , nothing more than grifters. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a book or "masterclass" pitch at the end of this series.
