As an answer to: Re: Just a few questions. written by Jim at 29 Jan 2002 08:48:40:
First off: The technique you pescribe in this instance does not work every time. Nor are the effect permenant, at least according to several online account by those who have tried it. Indeed, I believe you would be hard pushed to provide any significant information that proves that stretching is a viable treatment for this problem, at least from those outside of the anti-circ community who's information comes mostly from misfacts, ignorance, and lack of experience (yourself for example?).
However, you are correct, "We" do not need to see a Doctor. I'm suggesting that Jake does. Not you. I really can't see a reason why your presumed "Physician" friend PaulB's word is more viable that of another (as well as the majority of other medical professionals). With that in mind I'm sure your Doctor pal would also be inclined that a diagnosis of a problem should be done in person and not over the phone, or in this case online, by those who may not be a Doctor?
Thanks.
