And I quote: What I don't understand is why water has the memory of long since diluted out of existence medicine but does not contain the memory of duck poo poo from the dam. Because I'm pretty sure theres a lot of duck poo poo in fresh water.

pentyne posted:"Chiropractors" are a weird field, because its more or less therapeutic massage, which has a lot of well established benefits, and its been hijacked by quacks who claim they can "re-align" bones and perform other physically impossible things that they then claim cure a wide variety of diseases. Chiropractic 'medicine' started off as a sham field , it was never hijacked. There have been legitimate attempts at trying to systemize the effects of the theraputic massage into something useful. But I have my doubts that a Thai Massage from someone with a working knowledge of Grays Anattomy would do any worse.

ChrisHansen posted:I'm right here with ya. It sounds like some hippy dippy bologna, but I think "the power of positive thinking" is a real thing. I worked in a psychiatric hospital, and the nature of the medicine was that it did not always work as advertized. The importance of keeping a positive mental attitude is paramount when you're dealing with the couple weeks that it takes some of those meds to take effect. On first principles and observation, its clear that rational and positive meta-cognitive thinking habits go a heck of a long way to helping the brain recover from depression and other neuroses. Or put more simply, trying to be happy helps in not being sad. This isn't going to help your lungs get unfucked. But maybe it might help your brain.
