When I had otitis, I think, my Mum used to make salt socks for me and they really helped, but only as a pain relief. Also, it worked perfectly fine with coloured socks.

Random success story posted:Sonia Atikian testified that they became very concerned about Lorie's condition but that Hanswille assured them that it was normal for clumps of her baby's hair to fall out and not to worry if Lorie didn't gain weight.

The salt-sock hot pack thing is especially frustrating because it IS in fact a useful and simple remedy to a common problem but it's wrapped up in so much new-age pseudo-science nincompoopery that it drains it of any sanity.

(For example, one practitioner, who observed Matthew's convulsions, said he might be ''gritting his teeth'' because he was ''planning some great achievement.'')" http://www.apologeticsindex.org/news/an201108b.html

Platystemon posted:The ash pH thing is still bullshit, though. Your body doesn’t just dump ash into your bloodstream, and besides, your body has ways of controlling the pH of its various fluids. And if your blood pH was off by a small amount in either direction, wouldn't you be feeling, like, very sick? Like, you would know if something was truly wrong with your pH.

Yeah thankfully blood is an amazing buffer so it takes a LOT to change the pH even that much. Edit Lifehack: cause and effect and really the same thing if you try hard enough. #aristotlehacks Rumda has a new favorite as of 09:54 on Jun 11, 2016 |

But i thought it was all about the fed and the gold reserve! It must take a lot of effort to create something that can make even bible numerologists seem mildly scientific in comparison

My ex genuinely believed the Moon landing was fake because apparently a high school teacher she had believed it and she was incapable of forming her own thoughts.

If you have a sore tooth, try biting down hard on some fresh spring bhut jolokias. This will distract your brain nerves and reduce the pain by over 50%!

Of all the dumb internet lifehacks in this thread, the one I can testify to being actually useful is putting something super hot on a mosquito bite to kill the itch; I use a fresh cup of coffee instead of a spoon because a) running a spoon under hot water takes ages and b) I get coffee. Walla!

It's because the anticoagulant in mosquito saliva, that also causes the irritation associated with their bites, is a protein that can be denatured at relatively low temperature! Denature the protein, stop the reaction. Science is rad.

I was thinking of watching this because it's on netflix; is it interesting or will it just make me stupider?

The moon landing guy is only one of the people who have ideas about what The shining means. I enjoyed the movie for all the little things that the interviewees noticed.

The guy who made it isn't trying to sell you on the conspiracy theories, he's just documenting them because he's interested in how weird people's brains are. He's also done a documentary on sleep paralysis and the short doc The S From Hell, about people who were scared of a 1960s television prodcution title card. https://vimeo.com/18332484

We’re lucky that the protein denatures at normal hot coffee temperature and just at McDonald’s hot coffee temperature.
