@taniwharugby said in Woo:
@NTA some great replies in there too
I love that last reply. Scarily, too many people seem to think browsing YouTube/the top five Google results are "doing your research" on medical science...
-
@Donsteppa yeah that was the main one I copied that for.

"Do you own research"... for all the effort shown below, Flat Earthers somehow still exist, and without checking I'm sure there must be a three minute YouTube clip somewhere about NASA being a hoax...

We are not to blame for frog toxin therapy death: Kambo couple
Kambo is an alternative therapy where applicants burn the top layer of their skin and apply secretions from the Amazonian giant monkey frog onto the wound to induce vomiting, sweating and diarrhoea.
It has been traditionally used by Amazonian tribes to increase stamina and health, but is increasingly used in the West for spiritual purposes.
"Spiritual" = grifting, which reminds me of this classic Nick Mullen tweet:
I'm not religious but I'm spiritual, which means I think the mothman prophecy is real and I don't feel bad about shoplifting

See how far you can make it through this, I got as far as the kid with meningitis six minutes in
Not on vaccines but I liked the comment about fluoride and how if the government really wanted to control people's minds they'd remove the fluoride so people would have more fillings so they could beam signals directly to people's heads.

Some will consider it WOO...
Hypnotherapy/hypnosis
Any experiences? -
@RLx31 It def works, if it works. My other half did it for stopping smoking and said it made a difference. But it does work, but it's a bit placebo like, you have to be open to it.

@RLx31 @Machpants
I think you have to be open to it, I have a business acquaintance who is a Hypno therapist and the feedback form others I know that have been to see him lead me to believe there is something in it.
When TR Jnr was having confidence issues a few years back he had a couple of sessions, it helped him.
as part of the process, the Hypnotherapist told TR Jnr he was leaving the room, but didnt, and when he picked something up in the room, TR Jnr saw it 'floating' about the room.
Also saw an 'open' session where he dealt with a persons phobia whereby the mere mention of the insect woudl trigger anxiety and physical meltdowns, a year later, this person says they have had one near them, can now look at pictures without crying.
I havent tried it, but then I am still skeptical (although I know it worked on TR Jnr)
The other aspects of it (and Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT) are interesting given that they can not only do these via Skype, but can also apparently work on allergies...which I thought were a physical issue rather than mental...
Not sure I'd be keen if I had a nut allergy.

If you don’t vaccinate your kids, you’re an arsehole.
My kids school just sent out a Measles warning as West Auckland is having an outbreak.
Dicks.
Saying “ I’ve done the research “ when someone explains why they defer to 18th century science should legitimately be an excusable reason to punch them in the face.
Not a slap, a decent punch , one that ruins a nose , shakes a few teeth loose and hurts your hand too .
Imagine them calling the cops on you
“ and then right after I said I’d done the research he punched me right in the face”
Cop shrugs his shoulders and punches the fuckwit in the face and says to his partner “ I left his other eye for you when you’ve got a minute “. -
