FACTS!!

Lol. How do you make 50% of Americans lose their minds? Prefix any word with 'social'.

Personally, I love anti-vaxxers because they remind me that no matter how bad my day gets I’ll never be that selfish, stupid, or misinformed.

Company loyalty is to itself first and last. You'll be cut as soon as they don't need you

Yup. Let's try 'trickle-up' economics. Poor people spend their money. Wealthy people hoard it.

Cutting taxes on the rich gives them cash to buy out their competition, merge the companies, and then lay workers off. We've only seen that happen a couple of thousand times.

Those scams 😩

Recently, homeopathic eye drops have caused blindness so not so harmless

My brain refuses to believe this but my heart knows people are this stupid

I loves me some MSG!

To be fair, gym teachers aren't exactly on the A squad when it comes to academics. (That wasn't fair, I'm still bitter about my experiences at school my PE teacher was a vicious cow - and she took waaaay to much interest in the red-heads showering 🤔)

Crystals are however an essential part of lasers, and lasers are cool.

I always like to add a little lemon to my alkaline water. /s

The reward for hard work is more work.

You use about 83% of it just to go to the washroom.

They only make the Pharaohs rich.

I know nothing about this, but it sounds like this myth could’ve been started by police forces, so that idiot criminals will believe it

People are mostly freaked out about TRANSGENIC food that has other genes from other species inserted. First the majority of GMO foods are simply bred that way. Gene insertion has also been rigorously tested by FDA and USDA. BTW, my degree is in FOOD SCIENCE. These modified foods allow us to grow hardier crops that need less pesticide and fungicide and keep people from STARVING TO DEATH.

its just air that has been built up is all,it dosnt harm you or anything

Toblerone.

It does in a way. The hair is thicker near the base, so when you cut the thin top and it grows a little, it will feel and look a little thicker.

Being cold can, however weaken the immune system causing you to be more prone to colds

If someone's peddling their 'get rich quick' scheme through books, classes or workshops you are actually a contributing part of their scheme. If they genuinely had all the answers they'd already be rich and wouldn't need or want to pass their secrets on to anyone else.

And now there's INFANT chiropractors!? No, just.. no.

I have two herniated disks and two bulging disks and I've gone to the doctor for it...I've even had a lumbar epidural twice and it helped for like two weeks and then stopped working. Now I go to the chiropractor whenever my back starts to act up. Does he fix it permanently??? No...he doesn't but he does make the severe pain go away. People can deny they work....but they do....it's just that the pain comes back eventually. I'm not having surgery so I have no other choice but to use a chiropractor.

Babies are often sent to a special chiropractor here in Germany to straighten them out after birth if they cry a lot. It’s absolute frigging madness in my opinion!

I have been helped by (occasional) Chiropractic adjustments. The mystic around alignment is BS and the adjustments only provide a very short term help, but they do help. Strengthening core muscles and stretching probably help many times more than Chiropractic methods, but again, occasional adjustments help.

After a fall my shoulder was painful and mobility 40%. Though I'd go to a chiropractor......what an 8 month waste of money that was. The physiotherapist and my family Dr and a few friends advisef

And those “adjustments” can be fatal !

My sil took her kids to one for ear aches. Dafuk???

I work an office job, bent over a keyboard all day, with headphones on and I'm in meetings almost all day every day so my back gets out of whack and I go get adjusted. Does it cure anything, no and my chiro is 100% honest about that but until I can give up a good salary and health insurance to go get a job that offers a healthy lifestyle (for way less money and worse benefits) my chiro keeps me functional with minimal pain with 5 - 6 adjustments a year.

Nope

In the UK we have specialised colleges for chiropractic treatments. It's takes 5yrs to train, and covers a lot of medical training. It is a legitimate medical field, and (although not free), endorsed by the NHS.

That's just a crock of s**t! My Grandma went to one, and he made her cry. I wanted to go and make him cry, the bastard!

Say what you will, but there are animal chiropractors for horses and dogs. My geriatric (12 year old) Great Pyrenees dog moved much better after adjustments. She was having problems with her back legs collapsing under her. I thought it was silly when my husband found a dog chiropractor. But dogs can't be conned with smooth words. After an adjustment she was good for months and could once again roam her yard. She lived until 14 years, which is old for a Great Pyrenees. It's been 15 years and I still miss that dog.

I hate seeing animal chiropractors too. Poor things have no idea what's going on.

I know someone who gets them for free and even if they don’t help I bet it’s still nice cause the guy also gives her free massages 🤷.

Have yall seen those "chiropractors be like" tiktoks?

Does not make much of a difference getting a spinal adjustment. It is the muscles and fascia tissue that holds the spine and posture in place. Any decent chiropractor gives the patient some exercises to do. It is the exercises that are what helps the spine. Yoga and stretching and Pilates exercises strengthen those back muscles and loosen the tight fascia. Physical therapists are the best to go to for back pain.

Doctors need to find out why popping our joints feels so good and causes relief, their unwillingness to do so keeps chiros in business because THEY DO F*****G HELP PEOPLE

There are benefits, but not for chronic visits more than once a month.

The problem is the lack of education on food in general and not knowing about food safety in combination with companies cutting corners left and right with cheap mass production. Humans can't properly digest raw flour. If you try it, you'll get horrible stomach pains. From badly cooked yeast you'll get bloated and gassy. But companies nowaday bake cheap bread on roll through ovens. The flour and yeast doesn't cook completely through. So if you have problems after eating wheat bread, try toasting the bread before eating. If that helps, you have neither celiac disease nor gluten intolerance. Either change the brand of bread you buy or keep toasting it if you can't afford different bread. Now, I'm sure now some people will whine: BuT iF I EaT GlUtEn FrEe I dOn'T hAvE pRoBleMs... Yes, of course, that's because most gluten free alternatives either don't have wheat or the gluten is removed and you only eat the starch which means that the wheat was processed and often has no yeast.

This was invented by pool owners to reduce puke in the pool.

Cheerio mate, fancy a spot of carrots so we can spot them German jets? I’ll go right ahead and fetch them old chap.

I used to walk to school with wet hair in the winter. Which would freeze. I would be brushing ice out of my hair for a half hour. Never got sick.

Rickets is almost eliminated in countries with mIlk consumption.

I've never heard anyone say "recycling is saving the environment". Recycling makes sense, reduces some raw material requirements, and is beneficial to the environment, though "saving", nope.
