bob dobbs is dead posted:quite separately if hbag believes in chiros theyre hosed but a lot of the basis for the popularity of that bullshit in america is american medical care costin too mucb so peeps turn to quacks instead, which is not a problem in nhs-land at best that's only half true. a lot of the draw for chiropractors is that physical discomfort is being caused by things a doctor just can't fix (eg sitting in front of a computer every night until 6am), but the patient being unable or unwilling to address the underlying cause turns to alternatives.

a “good” chiro will charge you money to crack your back and maybe accidentally give you a stroke, a “bad” one will claim that all sorts of bizarre things are caused by misalignment and subluxation and charge you lots of money forever Just don’t

I went to a chiro for a bit and it was very short term helpful but what fixed the problem was dealing with sitting all day and actually working out and it magically went away chiros are bullshit and the bad ones will kill you you should start working out now so the eds has a nice long runway as you get older. doesn’t have to be aiming for crazy weight but get strong and stretch a lot

Cybernetic Vermin posted:my thinking too, is it a stereotype ive picked up or doesn't china go for a quack cure as much as any other place? imo probably the most common, day to day pervasive traditional chinese medicine thing is the theory of food balances. different foods are supposedly "hot" or "cool" and your supposed to kind of balance them out in your diet to stay healthy. for the most part people arent paying too much attention to it if theyre healthy. not planning their diet around it. but if you get sick or a pimple on your face or something, people will say you ate too much "hot" food and strongly recommend you eat more "cool" foods to recover faster or w/e. hot and cool are not physical temperatures but effects that the foods are supposed to have on your qi. or often you'll see people only eating a few litchis because those are a notorious hot food. stuff like that in practice it sort of boils down to eating stuff that's fairly healthy anyway so i see it as largely harmless to good. like if you eat tons of deep fried crap and candy bars all the time someone here might tell you its bad because those things have the wrong qi balance, which isnt really the correct reasoning, but it approximates the actual underlying good idea anyway

when I did IT consulting I had a few chiropractor offices as clients most of them were fine, nothing unusual However, there was this guy: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ak/pr/former-fairbanks-chiropractor-sentenced-17-years-prison-soliciting-murder-witness-and quote:Mannino, a former chiropractor who practiced for several years in Fairbanks, was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2015 for soliciting several murders while he was in custody at the Fairbanks Correctional Center on an earlier federal prosecution. Mannino had been indicted by another federal grand jury in August 2013 for a number of felony charges related to the unlawful possession and transfer of prohibited weapons, including a machinegun and silencers.

chiros and other quacks are still big business in the uk but more because nhs resources are so stretched that your gp is probably too busy to give you the time or attention you want/need

also there’s a type of actual doctor that is not really. if you ever see a doc with the title D.O. instead of MD be very wary. Doctors of Osteopathy are a bullshit offshoot of an old discredited methodology that the AMA decided to make a deal with a long time ago and give them official titles but it’s based on an early 20th century quack and his practices. they’ve pivoted to claiming they take a holistic look at medicine (which is something real docs could be better about) but on the whole they come from crappier schools and a worse curriculum.

a lot of the doctors around northeast ohio when I was growing up were Oestopathic doctors, which was one of the many many quack professions that proliferated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though they got their rear end in line and eventually became normal doctors who just fukkin love to crack your back at the start of any interaction: professional or social

i tried to read "starting strength" and the introduction was this actually fairly inspiring rant starting with the phrase "physical strength is the most important thing in life." talked about how all the pleasures of life are heightened by having a body that is strong enough to enjoy them, and how you can pass right through lots of life's problems simply by having a body that can accomplish things without getting tired or injured as easily. i don't know much about anatomy so the rest of the book was basically indecipherable to me but that introduction does stick with me
