  • One of the claims with acupuncture is that everyone has Meridian Lines and master practitioners find and put needles in them to manipulate the body or something. Those lines are suppose to be constant for the same person. It’s been years, but someone decided to schedule several acupuncture appointments with several different masters and each master put needles in different points.

    If any part of acupuncture turns out to have some real deep tissue therapy application, how it’s practiced would end up changing so much, it wouldn’t even be called acupuncture anymore. Shit like reusing needles or Punctured Lungs are not something that has any excuses to happen in real medicine.

    Anyway, this group also likes to claim that cupping, reflexology, chiropractic, or any other “eastern medicine” is being kept down by racists in the American Medical Association.


















  • No, it means I’m lying to them. If I say I don’t agree with their politics, I’ll get an ear full. If I lie and say I don’t follow politics, I can diplomatically end that discussion branch. Grow up liberal in a conservative family and you’ll get it. I’m not convincing these geezers of anything and I don’t want to waste my social energy trying.
