Great resource. If a remedy has been subjected to clinical trials, you can find out here. Not always conclusive but better than internet chatter.

thx for sharing that site. i'll be wasting time here all day, now-hehee

You cannot send your own study to Pubmed, it MUST be published in a journal. Almost all the abstracted journals are peer reviewed quality. Additionally there is no such thing as a subscription to Pubmed. Every article includes a summary AKA abstract, but many are from journals that are not free. If you wish to read the original complete study you may have to buy it from the journal publisher, not from Pubmed.

You can read the criteria used to have a journal's contents included in the Pubmed database HERE

No you cannot submit your study on peanut butter and have it listed. Your attack on Pubmed is not based on reality and I would suggest you delete that post or edit it as such bad posts only spread misinformation and breed distrust in medical science just like the junk posts about Covid do when posted on this website.

This needs to be seen once more. Thank you Doctor for your wisdom.

I was wondering if stem cells are available for something like this. Might be worth asking about.

You're right, I apologize. I got it confused with WebMD, which IS unreliable, a mixed bag of science, pseudoscience, and outright quackery, that you can pay a subscription for if you want to know more of the same. If I can still edit my post I will.

Can't walk much. The compression is worse when vertical. Have spent 8 years going through surgeries, therapies and treatments.

It's not something that can be worked through in this particular case. I will eventually end up in a wheelchair. Just trying to push that day off as far as possible.

Getting old isn't for sissies. Just a few short years ago I played tennis 3 times a week, now all I have left is being able to take walks. So sorry for your pain. It makes mine look minimum.

Spinal compression issues and widespread nerve pain to be specific.

Much appreciated.

Are you talking spinal stenosis? I get an injection of steroids twice a year and that has proven, for me, to be very effective. Harsha Rajashekar, DO at the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood is excellent. If you haven't already, I would suggest trying him. I know it's not New Age or Holistic, but he was the only treatment that helped me.
