Science, Reason And Critical Thinking

[phoenix]

 

 

 

 

Most acupuncture patients are familiar with the standard acupuncture maps showing the body's meridians and their various acupoints along those meridians that supposedly have distinct influences on different ailments. Rather than tall stories of ancient pre-scientific notions of an invisible and undetectable life energy why not simply state the most plausible explanations for any perceived benefit. All we actually need to do to achieve this is to simply re-label the meridian lines to describe how they are most likely to work and re-label the acupoints to describe the current unequivocally scientifically proven effect of that particular acupoint.

Wife swore by it during pregnancy.

 

She got that way with a sharp prick though so maybe it brought back good memories.

I'm going to see the doctor, today, about a pain in my back.

 

I went last week and all I got was tablets.

 

It's fucking agony.

 

I'm not even sure it's muscular, which is the worrying thing.

Have you tried Tramadol?

[amancalledbuck]

Have you tried Tramadol?

 

 

No.

[phoenix]

I keep an open mind.

 

 

 

 

Which is the same as saying 'I d'a ken'.

 

 

 

 

I favour scientific reason these days but hey! if it works for you , that's the important bit.

 

 

 

 

Those who don't know me might tend to think I believe in Astrology,,,,,I don't but that is not to say it is not functional.....it is.....it helps us discuss aspects of ourselves which we might never get round to otherwise( without somebody takin' offence ).

 

 

 

 

Vive la imagination...the scientists don't get all the fun.

No.

Tramadol are ace. I was of work after an op a couple of years ago and kept taking them after the pain had gone lol.

Opium based painkillers are the best. My ex said I was never so laid back in my life when I was on them. Little did she know I was tanning about 5 of them every 4 hours. Then they ran out and I couldn't convince the doc for any more.

Booooo to that doctor......

What for mate? Never had it done but of all the 'alternative' therapies it's maybe the only one I would consider.

Don't let good science get in the way of good healing.....there's still a lot the f u c k e r s don't know about us.

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless , they can be comedic:
