Anyway, enjoyed your thoughts/perspective up until the garbage truck part. That comment was probably in jest, but I very much don't believe in things happening simply due to fate.

it was in jest...
i've been watching some of those final destination movies on cable... he he he
but its true. karma is a *****. and when its someone's time, there is nothing to stop it.... IMHO..

understand your enthusiasm. many people have enthusiasm about all sorts of stuff. especially in medicine. however, science and math exist to verify the effectiveness and validity of X vs Y treatment or prevention. the data is not here....
the point is, however, that to be worthwhile, it must be proven to be effective. imagine spending $600 only to find that that you still have a spinal injury and then 3 years later an indepth study finds that 'chances are with the use of XYZ brace [that you were wearing]" your injury might have been made worse, statistically speaking....
but, this is unproven ground. so to those who believe it works, by all means buy it. however, having someone who suffered an injury support a product that 'could have' prevented that injury without data to back it up is conjecture, and almost irresponsible, to say the least.
caveat emptor.
