Boiled Water posted:Why are you taking antibiotics for food poisoning? If it's not a bacterial infection you're doing yourself more harm than good since you're killing off your intestinal flora. I only have the numbers for Western Europe but here's one thing in the realm of 65-70% of food poisoned my cases are caused by norovirus. You'd be better off laying off of whatever pills you're taking and eating some yogurt, provided you aren't terribly lactose intolerant. Everywhere outside of the developed world you get antibiotics for everything. Every time I've been to the ER in Taiwan I get antibiotics. I go to the ENT for anything, antibiotics. My fiance has psoriasis and she was given antibiotics. The super bacteria of the world all come from there.

Can you imagine the embarrassment if a doctor didn't immediately tell a patient what is wrong with them? Why not just give them a large amount of pills (which always include antibiotics) and hope that the carpet-bombing approach cures what the actual problem is. Someone with real talent needs to rework George Michael's "Gotta have faith" to "Gotta save face" and re-record it.

brb, Going to become a quack doctor in China. I'll bring a West meets East approach - combing both western medicine and eastern traditional medicine. I'll nod sagely, hands behind my back and spit enormous loogies into a trashbin and not my floor because its a classy joint. My secretary is also my whore. Am I doing this right?

So on TCM--yesterday, I was told that according to Chinese medicine, a man shouldn't ejaculate too much, no more than 2-3 times a week, as it will drain the "hot" energy from his body. Women, being naturally "cold", want to steal that heat for themselves. Haier, when you go see the doctor, please have her take your temperature both before and after plunging.

Therefore the energy must be measurable. In what units is the energy(ies?) being measured? I assume cold is just an absence of hot, so there's just one variable. Unless cold is another thing entirely, and thus you could have too much heat AND cold at the same time and our understanding of energy conservation is wrong. Ah yes, the results are in: you're about 17.8 fuckwatts (fW) too hot which explains your symptoms. Smoke two menthol cigarettes and expose your belly to 17C temperate for three hours, and ejaculate once every four hours for a week or until symptoms subside.

Unless cold is another thing entirely, and thus you could have too much heat AND cold at the same time and our understanding of energy conservation is wrong. What I like about the heat thing is that for heat they can't think of doing something like running around the block or even using an electric blanket or having a hot shower or sauna. TCM uses stuff like moxibustion, which burning a big cigar thing that smells like burning garbage and holding it close to an energy point or meridian and then getting lung cancer a few years later. I have met people that seriously do moxibustion 4-10 times per day and they don't give a poo poo that they are inhaling their own impending death because they believe a little bit of heat on this one point is going to solve everything. Just get one of those hot water enema bottle pad things and put it on, or do some jumping jacks or something. I read some Daoist thing about how if a woman wants to retain her youthful beauty and skin tone, she should eat semen because it takes the best part of the man's energy and gives it to her. I have yet to meet a woman that will believe that. drat, if they want to cherry-pick TCM and it's bullshit counterparts then at least go for the good stuff. Speaking of boogeymen, I made friends with a girl on Tantan about a month ago and she's heavy into Daoism, TCM, and other Chinese thought. I was keeping her on my list hoping we could meet up, but the more we talked the more I realized she's way too out to lunch. She has a pseudo-Daoist lady shaman guru person give her orders and she refuses to break from them. She now has all these rules over her life like how many hours she needs to spend at home every day, what time she needs to be home at night, where she must live, what kind of men she can talk to, the type of work she can do, foods to eat, and so on. Her house got blessed against ghosts by this bitch and it's apparently impossible to ever do it again, so she can't move even though her job is a 2 hour commute each way. It's ridiculous. She pays this lady for this advice. The lady even told her she will eventually marry a guy from X province that makes X salary and they'll both live happily ever after. I asked how long she's been waiting for this guy and she said five years. Like, she's getting to the age where having a baby becomes a gamble for disorders and defects and she's still waiting for this magical dude to appear. It just goes on and on. The best part is that she's gorgeous and knows she could have been married ages ago to someone else, but she's saving herself for this guy. She could be working a job she likes, living in an area she wants, but she can't. She said she had wanted to practice Buddhist-style meditation but her shaman lady told her it would destroy some sort of vital part of her health and she had to wait X amount of years before she could be approved to think of trying meditation. I tried to nicely tell her this was all retarded and she seemed to get it, but her fear of "What if it's all true" was more powerful than what if was all bullshit. Kinda like those people that are Christians/Muslims just because what if Hell is real, you know?

My partners co-worker brought a coffin into the office on Friday for Halloween. All the Chinese people wouldn't go near it, and were getting grumpy with my wife (who is Asian) about getting in it for a photo. It is bad luck don't you know?

It makes a really good short-cut that everyone in the neighbourhood uses except I've never once seen a chinese person walk through, they always go the long way around. To be fair my hungarian grandpa-in-law would never use this shortcut either saying that every time you cut through the property of a funeral home you're taking a day off your life.

When I worked at a hospital years ago the only way to get to our office was down a corridor past the morgue. The Chinese woman in our team would almost press herself against the wall on the opposite side of the corridor to it every time she walked there. I have to assume it's an issue with corpses specifically? I mean, you don't go to the morgue to die.

There's a TCM clinic near me with an official wechat account and they'll post short videos for one of the heat therapy things. You lie on a table and they drape several layers of heavy blankets over your entire body, then squirt something flammable onto the top layer. They light it on fire, let it burn for about five seconds, then toss another blanket on top to smother it. Repeat several times. Yes the treatment is to repeatedly light people on fire, instead of just using an electric blanket or hot water bottles.

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:Hot water bottles an electric blankets have no pizzazz. You need some razzle dazzle with your hocus pocus. It's all for show, as lighting a blanket on fire for 5 seconds is not going to even make it warm to the person it is on (just like lighting some lighter fluid on your hand for a second or two doesn't burn you). If the clientèle this kind of crap was aimed at thought for a few seconds, they'd just have a bath instead. TCM requires that the person it is being administered to not think critically for more than 3 seconds, or else it all falls apart. Then again, I come from a country that has given Chiropractors their own governing body and are going to probably be doing the same for naturalpaths and homoeopathics as well. For shame

Iirc long fingernails were a sign of wealth since it meant you don't have to work with your hands, so they don't break off or get worn down.
