"Would your average person rip through 4,000 pages of medical journals to find information on proper care for a skin condition? No. They want easy-to-find, consolidated material."

They'd be much smarter to go to a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the most effective treatment as a result of an informed judgement made after years of professional training rather than play doctor by diagnosing and prescribing for themselves. Luckily for most people, most illnesses are not serious and are self limiting which means they will get better with or without medical intervention. When it is serious, failure to get the right help at the earliest time could spell the difference between life and death.

Unfortunately, you are right about the majority of publications in audio for consumers today being somewhat off the wall and misleading. It's as though the herbologists and homeopaths had a monopoly on all of the medical publications while the mainstream medical doctors and pharmacologists which solve the overwhelming majority of our medical problems were nowhere to be heard.

BTW, after a car accident 14 years ago, I had extensive chiropractic treatment myself and I know that for some conditions at least, it works very well.
