In order to understand today’s video, you need to have seen my video review of the disastrous 2026 guidelines published by the American Academy of Neurology, which guarantee the failure of treatments for patients who suffer with migraine.
Questions from today’s video:
Should we use laboratory testing before using melatonin as a therapy for chronic pain conditions?
Why does the medical profession as a whole so commonly ignore its own published and verified data?
Why do humans as a group commonly prefer to avoid thinking and using their brains when thoughtfulness and perspectivism are among the defining characteristics of our species?
In what ways does the medical profession self-select for obedient zombies with psychopathic tendencies rather than thoughtful scientists trying to help humanity?
Should people who can think and read accept their positions as separate and outside of the larger human society?
Clinical-Laboratory Assessment of Chronic Pain:
You have to know the “core competencies”—the more you know, the better.
You have to have systems and strategies for patient assessment, this demonstrates that you know what to look for (eg, what is likely, and what is dangerous) and that you have thought out the process ahead of time
You have to look for and try to make more than one diagnosis at a time; then each diagnosis carries its responsibilities. Just because you find a diagnosis does not mean that you found the only diagnosis— “Patients are entitled to more than one disease.” Ron LeFebvre DC
Real experts know and respect real diseases, and they rule-out real diseases before looking for “functional” problems
You must have backup plans for your strategy because sometimes your first strategy does not work perfectly.
What if your patient refuses lab tests?
