have you read those reports that say that water soluble chemicals found in cinnamon are good for you, but some fat soluble ones are mutagenic? they're all on pub med, (i never really check other places), i believe the one about the mutagenic stuff is Swedish if that helps...

@GeatMaster Wouldn't surprise me, probably a defense tactic.

Jesus came to me in a vision to tell me holistic medicine was what he used to drive out the demons into a herd of pigs that all ran off a cliff. (what pigs are doing in a Jewish settlement I'll never know) so it's gotta be true right? LOL.

[anubis2814]

@metalsusa1 It was actually in Sameria, which were not Kosher half-jews.

Holistic treatments become known as conventional when they work - combining lifestyle changes with pills to combat chronic disease is common a doctors recommendation, and seems pretty 'whole person,' but if doctors accept it the holistic crowd (wanting to be above those trained professionals with their tradition) reject it.

[anubis2814]

@unassumption Very true. What do you call alternative medicine that has been tested and shown to work? Medicine.

ug, wrong there, hate it when I do that.

I always had a headache after I went to the chiropractor.

[messianicrogue]

When i was 17 i went to a chiropractor, who claimed he 'fixed' my lower back pain by twisting all my other joints - it cost me $250 and the next day i was hurting everywhere else - as well as my original back ache.

In the session the idiot was using gobbledegook language and tooting his horn about working for famous footballers. That was enough for me to never visit another one. If you have to brag about clients you've suckered, instead of focussing on the current client - you are a scammer.

Lol, want to know what's in the bible?

Ask an atheist.

[metalsusa1]

@anubis2814 According to the Bible or Josephus it was Gadarenes, Gadara, or Gerasa. Take your pick.

I was going to a chiropractor when I was in my teens who said I'd be crippled by the time I was in my 30s if I didn't continue to go to a chiropractor 3 times a week. I had no clue they were quacks back then, it's not like we had the web to look stuff up on. My mom was going so when I had a problem with my back, she took me their instead of to a real doctor.

I really don't think chiropractors should be able to call themselves doctors.
