Medically Unknown Symptoms (MUS)
Have you ever heard of a medically unknown symptom (MUS)?

I was young and enthusiastic, anxious to use my skills and knowledge of the body’s innate ability to heal to create health in my community. This was despite the fact that the American Medical Association (AMA) had, in 1963, formed a Committee on Quackery focused almost exclusively on chiropractors.
