Yet, the true believers in "Myofascial Trigger Points" will defend their position with an intensity that could be directly related to the principal source of their income. <br /><br />This discussion raises an interesting philosophical question that was discussed by Samuel Taylor Gee in 1908.<br /><br />"The primary and fundamental philosophic sects are two, the Dogmatic and the Sceptic. Dogmatists affirm that we can and do know; sceptics neither affirm or deny. Observe, sceptics do not deny, else they would be dogmatists; a strict sceptic cannot even affirm that he neither affirms nor denies … But practically sceptics are deniers; and systematic scepticism is full of dogmatism … In short, there are no absolute dogmatists or sceptics, and the truest way of putting the matter is to say that dogmatists tend towards affirmation, and sceptics towards doubt. <br /><br />Methodism is ... another species of Dogmatism. Methodists are those dogmatists who strive to make the data of pathology and therapeutics as few as possible in number, and as universal as possible in extent. The dogmatist builds his system upon the greatest possible number of particulars; the Methodist erects his inverted pyramid upon a single proposition. The reason of Methodism lies in the weakness of the human mind, impatient of slow progress towards a goal which recedes as we go on, and wishing to find a royal road by which the end may be attained without passing though the necessary intermediate stages."<br /><br />Gee SJ.

And it was probably smart of you not to say any more. Perhaps, just perhaps, someone will be surprised enough and curious enough to think about the answer.Alice Sanvitohttp://www.massage-stlouis.comnoreply@blogger.com
