It's true though. Not everyone can or wants to breastfeed and formula isn't bad.

This should be higher up. Folk need to stop judging and start understanding in order to help. And let's not forget that addiction takes many forms; looking at you ex-friend who drunks 5 litre of original coke a day while looking down on her neighbour who has one spliff on a weekend.

The last time thi was mentioned here, geez. Herbal medicine is not homeopathy. Homeopthy is the theory that water molecules change shape to fit other substances in, and they can remember that shape when diluted to the point that none of the active ingredient is left, so the water acts the same as the medicine that it may have once contained. It's expensive placebo water.

All natural cyanide and arsenic!

When did we start saying 'unlived'?

A GOOD chiropractor is a life saving agent for those of us in chronic pain who wish not to be on opiate medication for prolonged periods of time.

I have to disagree. I've been going to the chiropractor for years and the relief I get is wonderful. I have mild scoliosis and work a desk job (my posture isn't always the greatest, I know) so a few times a year I go in for adjustment. It's amazing how much better my back and neck always feel.

Real doctors have also killed patients

People get permanently injured or killed by medical malpractice, diagnostic errors, and just plain mistakes by doctors, all the time. That's not evidence that chiropractors are quacks. Chiropractic is generally safe when performed correctly by a trained and registered chiropractor, and some patients find it very effective for relieving back pain and neckpain, and associated symptoms.

Not all chiropractors are bad, just like not all medical doctors are good. Chiropractors can help with alignment issues, back and neck pain and uneven pelvis/legs. I do think you should research them and find someone that knows what they're doing. Check the chiropractic board for reviews and for heaven sakes do not go to any chiropractor that tries to diagnose and treat anything other than muscle/skeletal issues! This bs of getting treatment from a chiropractor instead of a doctor needs to end. I would never, ever ask a chiropractor to treat my ear infection and if they tried, I'd report them immediately and never see them again. Those are the quacks to avoid.

It gets lost in translation, but we have three kinds of chiropractor. A Chiropraktor, who studies and receives a diploma. A Chiropraktiker, who gets certified training. And a Chirotherapeut, who is a real doctor. All three are good in my country.

I'm skeptical, but I went to one years ago when my back had gone out. He helped me tremendously, but a year or so later when it happened again when I went back he had moved on to accupuncture, which did nothing. (I'm not knocking accupuncture in general, because I'm pretty sure he didn't have a clue what he was doing.)

I actually have seen chiropractors most of my adult life. It is science; of bone structure kind of. Totally cured recurring lower back pain for me.

If it's a censor problem, they loose. It's the same with "legit" media censoring F**k. We know what it is. So it's not censored. GROW UP. Move on.

I have seen videos on social media of children and babies having 'chiropractic adjustments' and that just made me cringe so hard! I've also seen animals having chiropractors inflicted on them.

I disagree. My chiropractor has done so much for my family and myself. You do you but somehow it works. I never thought I'd be saying this 20 years ago.

Especially babies! We have had a number of babies dying from chiropractors in Australia!

Chiropractic is not medicine, but with certain very specific issues, it can help recovery. My physical medicine doctor told me I was ok to see a chiropractor when I had a pinched nerve in c5/c6. Medicine was not relieving the pressure enough to get the pain to start to heal, but two visits to a chiropractor loosened up the area enough that I could finally sleep. I went back a few weeks later when I started to stiffen up again and he prevented a relapse. That was followed by 6 weeks of acupuncture that my doctor proscribed to help loosen the muscles for a while.

They're ok for short-term relief, but you need to go to a doctor for long-term relief. Just make sure you have a good chiropractor, and don't go to a chiropractor for somebody who can't speak for themself when they are in pain (like a kid or animal)

Agree. A chiropractor almost turned me into a paraplegic once when I went to her with an injured neck (fracture, C2).

.. and my chiropractor saved from from 7 years of hellish pain.

Think what you want. My back was completely f****d at one point, and my chiropractor is why it no longer is.

Too many visit chiropractors regularly to just ignore thier usefulness.

Bacon grease, that's my essential oil.

There's a big difference between "no, you don't have THIS disease because you're too young, full stop" and "you're far less likely to have it because it's usually for older people". Doctors tend to look for the most likely causes of a pain, because they'll be able to cure the patient earlier. However, there can indeed be younger patients with old people's diseases, so a good doctor should check these possibilities too when the most common diseases don't match the patient's case. The point is, it is unlikely to be the first explanation.

You can tone muscles from exercise, but no you can't get flat abs by eating muffins while doing crunches. 90% of weight loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym.

I'm 6'2" and 190 pounds. I'm a land surveyor, a martial artist, a blacksmith... basically I may not be a body builder but most of my daily life involves very physical activity. My former doctor said I was overweight and needed to lose at least ten pounds.

Essential oils are generally too strong to take internally anyway. They're better used as a topical treatment (as in lotion) or as aromatherapy. The problem with these is that people get "treatment" and "cure" confused.. essential oils and herbs are remedies. A remedy is not a cure. A remedy eases the symptoms so that your system can work on healing (with some help of prescription drúgs, as needed). Garlic can apparently lower your blood pressure; it cannot cure your heart disease. There's a difference.

Plate Method is the current guideline

“Getting a tan” is literally your skin cells dying off so you don’t get cancer. Some is normal, excessive tanning is harmful.

Wait what are you supposed to do with scabs? Let them bleed forever?

This! "Least harmful" and "harmless" are two completely different things. Weed is usually seen as "safe" due to the relatively mild short-term effects... however, the long-term effects of sustained usage can be very nasty (and quite comparable to the harm of "regular" cigarettes). These effects include full-blown mental disorders as well. And yes, weed is addictive, contrary to the myth that it isn't (the "I can stop at any time, duuuude" mindset).

I've been doing this for decades and I've never had any problems. Why, however, is another question. I think it provides some kind of relief or something, I have no idea. It feels good.

Also non-GMO crops are in fact modified. All crops are and have been for thousands of years by selective breeding. The GM-part is the same in principle, just a lot quicker.

So, what is HG?

Yeah, when I was 9 I learned this the hard way. We were visiting grandparents and I got a nosebleed. They made me tip me head back. It wouldn't stop, I started coughing and vomiting blood. I was terrified. Th called a home Dr visit. He tipped my head forward and pinched my nose it stopped pretty soon.

Conventional science wouldn't accept the germ theory of ulcers, so the scientist proved this by intentionally giving himself ulcers by drinking an h pylori culture.

Yes but... there is a huge correlation between obesity and T2 diabetes. Not historic sugar intake per se, although that may of course be a major contributor to the obesity. Many people who are 'pre-diabetic' can avoid it developing any further by simply losing weight and in some cases even once it has developed it can be effectively reversed such that long term drug treatment is not necessary.Yes, there are other factors, but even if genetically pre-disposed to it it's often avoidable by modifying diet and controlling weight.

Redheads do tend to need more anaesthetic though.

While it can help UTIs, not only would it take 400 instances of mutilation to prevent a single infection, but UTI's are easily treatable. Wash your d!ck. There are no health benefits to cutting up anyone's healthy genitals. And before I get anything about phimosis, it is treatable with steroid cream, and foreskin is not meant to be retractable before puberty.

Any fasting more than one day needs a doctor's supervision.
