Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
Hopefully a note from my physician + filling out a form should allow me to avoid it. "Wait. . . I AM a physician!" Not sure what you are asking. yes I am a physician, but they wouldn't like me writing my own note, especially because the exemption is related to an autoimmune issue (not in my area of...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
It may be difficult to practice medicine soon if you are not vaccinated. My hospital mandates it as do several others in the area. The only exceptions allowed are those CDC mandates. I have a legitimate (but unusual) medical exception which does not fall under CDC guidelines. Hopefully a note from m...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
I have no desire to talk anyone into anything. There are bad practitioners in every field e.g. I had to find another orthopedist because the highly thought of one I was seeing wasn't treating me optimally. Part of the problem is that people are individuals and 50 people with disease x don't all have...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
Surely the energy stuff has been compared to a placebo. Does it work or doesn't it? which stuff?; Chinese liniment which is $20/bottle? Chiropractic/other associated modalities? exercises to treat disk problems? Several flavors of Chinese medicine? It is all much more complicated and less profitable...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
Tortoise, Back surgery is very often a really bad idea. I had shooting buttock pain going into my toe which my chiropractor diagnosed as a disk. I followed the exercises he recommended (standard stuff) and it resolved within a couple weeks. I forget the difference between sciatica and disk, but a Ch...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
Is this kinetic energy, gravitational or electrical potential energy, or something else? What does it mean for it to be blocked? The energy AKA chi/ki/Qi, et is not something that has any conventional western correlate. Several of the modalities use pulse diagnosis i.e. by putting one's hands on th...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
PS I have no scientific evidence for the "magic Chinese liniment", but I've used it myself in many cases, recommended it to a zillion people, and 1000+ amazon positives and been around hundred of years. It is cheap, has no side effects, and works amazingly well.. If you know people of asian backgrou...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine
Maddy, If you are uncomfortable with something don't use it. "Breath through your nipples" sounds like Chi Gung which is a different animal from what I'm talking about (Chinese herbs mainly).

Re: Why the Allies Won
Goes without saying, or should, but it was war, and one needs to be willing to do terrible things (at least as terrible as your opponent) unless you wish to lose.

Re: Attention, Doodle!
While the plan to augment unemployment benefits may have had some merit a year ago, there is zero reason to be continuing it at this point. If they stopped giving away free money, people would be forced to actually work to pay the rent and buy food. And then the labor shortage would magically disap...
