Onions

Hmmmm to healthybliss.

I have followed your link. Jennifer Thompson who has that site is an enthusiast for detoxing - when telling how she and her boyfriend tried sleeping with cut onions in their socks "My boyfriend was feeling pretty tired and weak after his evening enema but had felt really good earlier in the day." and "My boyfriend had a terrible night and barely slept and felt that the onion fumes had upset his intestinal worms (which we are sure he has and are hoping the water fast will eliminate)"

Poor b****r.

She will diagnose your ailments by iridology, (for a fee, and with 55 minute a phone call to the States) about which she says "In looking in the eye, we can view all body systems and organs at once, including circulatory, gastro-intestinal, glandular, skeletal, neurological, muscular and uro-genital systems"

However, on www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/iridology/ we read that iridology was invented by a Hungarian physicist entirely on the "evidence" that as a boy he had nursed a sick owl back to life, and noticed a prominent black stripe in the iris of one eye, which had gone when it was well, to be replaced by ragged white lines.

I think I put more faith in the opinions of the people I linked to earlier.

What an interesting site www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/ is. I have just read another article on it entitled "The Clean Eating Delusion"

And who says romance is dead?

There's a lot of completely dotty new-agy silliness like this around isn't there. Healthy young people convincing themselves that they need weird foods and even weirder herbs for non-existent ailments. Hobby for some, business for others.
My niece's boyfriend, a vegetarian, worries about his health and diet for no apparent reason. Takes loads of vitamins despite fretting daily about the balanced-ness of his diet. Person least in need of supplements.
They and I were staying with sister for a few days. She receives a phone call from niece "While you're town can try to get some baby spinach leaves for A, because the broccoli in the village shop doesn't look very fresh".

I do wonder how seemingly intelligent people can get taken in by these faddy food "diet" detoxes. As for regularly using enemas with no good medical reason the mind just boggles.

Someone somwhere is making a tidy profit out of such business.

Don't even get me started on Hopi ear candling or crystal therapy and the benfits of hot stones placed on your back.

Go for a massage by all means, or just relax and practice some sort of meditative mind calming.
Or eat a fried onion sandwich.

I have a theory about people who are obsessed with their innards and keep "cleansing" them and taking enemas.
