I feel for them, but that stuff they pulled this morning and my stepdad's comments while I was trying not to puke as he took me to school make me feel that way. Why are you gagging you were feeling better last night? Try not to think about it, blah blah blah... and I come home from classes trying hard not to puke or shit on myself and madre and sister are passed out on the couch... yeah i envy you guys as I just suffered for a couple of agonizing hours of holding back bodily functions at school... Shit im just bitter but i wish they could see im still hurting and ill too

You'd do much better inside yourself if you stop expecting them to acknowledge your discomfort. You're only offering a hostage to the Queen of Suffering sweepstakes. cn

yeah true. oh well i feel like shit anyway, no use feeling bad on the inside.
classes at least went well, despite repeating gagging and making sure i didnt do any bodily functions that are disgusting. My ethics teacher is good looking and my cultural anthro teacher is interesting

Which cult.anthr. text are you using? cn

I just Googled both, and they look interesting.
I just worry because cult.anthr. as well as lit.crit. are the most amazingly politicized academic disciplines in the USA today. Don't be surprised if your professor has strong left-leaning sympathies. Decide how you feel about that. cn

If you do some reading about homeopathy, you'll find it's a sort of quackery. It's as legit as astrology. Like all quackery, it relies on the placebo effect to generate positive testimony. cn

Yea, ive done my research. Ive been seeing the same doctor for the past 20years, he is a reliable doctor. He is a kinesiologist and chiro as well.
I believe pharmaceuticals are far worse then any homeopathic remedy ive tried. I hate big pharma and i think most of there shit is quakery...
All these synthetic chemicals used to treat symptoms, not the cause of the symptoms. If they would treat the cause, they would run out of business.

We disagree about this. I also consider chiropractic to be a fringe practice. Its bennies can be matched with a good massage, but the credentials allow chiropractors to charge like dentists. I don't know enough about kinesiology.
But saying he's a reliable doctor, then categorically ripping on drug therapies, is not the stance of inquiry, but observance. My opinion. cn

Ive seen my fair shae of md quakery... More so thrn their chiro counterparts. I have never been to a chiro who has charged what a dentist charges.
Under what grounds do you believe chiro not be certain?
My rip is on big pharma, not supplements made from organic ingridients. Have you seen the lawsuits against very widely used drugs?

The trouble is that I cannot get what i need from organic supplements. No triptans, no proton pump inhibitors, no calcium channel blockers etc. Big pharma isn't perfect, but does make some good stuff that cannot be had any other way.
As as chiro is concerned, it's a tradition, like Ayurveda or acupuncture. It isn't a science, and there are as many ways to do it as there are practitioners. I don't see it as clearly rising above the placebo noise floor. And the ones here do charge. My ex saw a couple. I shushed ... anything that improved her mood ... cn

So then if chiro is not a science, kinesiology is not either?
Why so?
There is literature to support various treatment modalities and their is plenty of literature to support chiro techniques. There is a science to how the body works, practicing chiro, you must be well aware of how the body functions.
It is sad that you have had bad experiences with chiros, you cannot use that however to disprove chiro as not being scientific. With that charge, you are saying physical therapy, athletic training, kinesiology, sports medicine and rehabiltation are bogus.
One thing i have noticed in my experience training general pop individuals, is they expect way too much from almost anything to do with exercise, nutrition and rehab for injuries.

I'm not relying on my own experiences to dis chiropractic. But if you read its history, it isn't a science. It's a tradition based more on belief than experiment.
If there is a scientific tradition to chiro, a consistent requirement to only do what works, i have not seen it. I've seen the opposite: partisans claiming their way works, on such weak supports as some testimony. That is counter to science ... no test protocol. cn

You base your philosophy off of your study which was found by science. What individuals do with what they have learned in academia is up to them and unfortunately, ther those bad apples who fuck shit up for others. Guilty by association if you will.
It is like the field of strength and conditioning, you use what works in the real world or what has worked est in tour experience. So what you are saying is that there is no science behind any of disciplines i mentioned? There is o science behind the development of peak athletic performance?
I would certainly have to disagree with you there neer

I am not claiming that at all. Sports medicine is a vibrant field.
As for chiro and homeo ... it looks like we've both completed our forts and are now just winging snowballs at each other. It was fun for a bit, but unless you say otherwise, I'll stop now. cn
