Nah, it’s effective for some things, they just didn’t clarify that it is NOT good for everything idiots claim, but a small subset of chronic pain issues where causing endorphins to release and some direct tissue stimulation are the mechanisms of action.
Sure, you might claim treating symptoms still isn’t “fixing” anything like with much of medicine, but pain relief and stimulation are both very much parts of actual medical recovery plans.
Even better reason to leave those goons behind, then.
Also, having a section they push to the top is not “defaulting”. It’s forced inclusion. Again, even more reason to abandon Google.
