I just read this take on all the illnesses supposedly treated by just one homeopathic remedy. I enjoyed it anyway. (via the 40th Skeptics Circle) |
That was hilarious! I had no idea that arnica was homeopathic. I use arnica lotion with glucosamine to take away bruises. Yes, anecdotal, but it is freaking miracle cream. Perhaps it's the glucosamine? A Sports Medicine doctor once gave me arnica tablets for a knee injury. No clue if it worked.
I'm glad you resurrected this thread because I have a hilarious (to me) story to put here. I subscribe to
this guy's newsletter. Lord knows why, as he is an affront to alternative medicine. He's a blood sucking money grubber who will latch onto anything that will make him money. Never quote him in a legitimate discussion of anything alternative because you'll just look ridiculous. There was a link to
this in one of his newsletters. You basically visualize an emotion while tapping on acupressure points and repeating an affirmational expression.
Now, you can do this for anything. You can even do it for other people. Or animals! Over at my sister's house tonight she was telling me that ever since her cat got spayed she's been leary of strangers. We had a frollicky time tapping on her cat while saying, "Even though you had a horrible experience at the vets, you still deeply and completely love yourself." The cat was not amused.
