They took down the gofundme. He’s got a bit of an online footprint that’s being actively picked over. Apparently, he got picked up in Pennsylvania, for “being weird”, presumably from staying awake most of the last week. . So far he has not said anything. Whatever manifesto they got him with has not made the rounds, and frankly I’m not overly enthused about getting ahold of it, but yeah., If I have an excess of time and money in the coming seasons . We’ll be hearing from him and helping Mr. Mangione out.
Like I said, extensive online footprint that is being picked over as we speak. I saw a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, but of course it was screenshot. People disappear in a lot of the important ways when they go to prison, but we’ll do what we can.
Thats awesome!
Unfortunately I’m not suprised chiropracics didn’t help, it’s rooted in complete bunk pseudoscience, which is frustrating when they take money from people who really need help with chronic pain or other ailments
I’m really glad you were able to find your solution, back issues are miserable
Anecdotal, but I know someone who has back problems and goes to a back quacker once a week and it does help him.
Would I go to one? Probably not, I would rather have someone walk on my back to pop those hard to crack spots, like the upper back, instead of risk internal decapitation because some jackass got a certificate online.
Going to get weekly adjustments isn’t a solution, it’s somebody taking your money.
His insurance pays for it and the alternative is major surgery that is expensive that will likely result in needing another surgery to fuse a few vertebrae which will make his job harder and likely result in him still having back pain. So the “solution” will be a net negative.
My understanding is that some chiropractors have adapted to methods that will actually help people and reconciled chiropractics with what they’ve found works, but the theory behind chiropractics is still fundamentally pseudo science. Like if you go look it up it’s genuinely ridiculous and makes no sense.
If someone is debating going to a chiropractor they’d almost certainly be at least as well served by going to a physical therapist instead.
That being said, the financial experience and experience of being cared for might be a meaningful difference between the two, I’m not sure. My impression is that a lot of pseudoscientific medical interventions have draw because they often treat people like human beings in a way that our medical system is dystinctly bad at.
Ultimately, I’m glad your friend is getting what they need, regardless of where they’re getting it :) people deserve access to meaningful help with the problems affecting their lives
