If that is the case, it’s as useless as reiki. That surprises me as it seems like a nerve block can reduce pain in an area that’s it’s not that close to.
My heels have been better lately. Think it’s tight calves from standing so much. Stretching more has helped. I don’t believe it is plantar fasciitis anymore. It’s happened with me barely noticing and almost forgetting. Almost nobody can keep up with my walking pace at work.
sure, if it makes someone feel better, its their own choice and all good… as long as the treatment doesnt cause harm to themselves or others…
(i remember someone adivsing to drink bleach)
there are no legitimate medical studies that support any health benefits to drinking bleach, nor are there any sane people that would ever promote such a thing
There was no study created to test the “bleach theory” of injecting or ingesting disinfectant. Rather, the comments made by President Donald Trump on April 23, 2020, were based on a misunderstanding of research conducted by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate.
The Actual Research: William Bryan, acting head of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate, presented findings showing that bleach and isopropyl alcohol could kill the COVID-19 virus on surfaces (like countertops) and in saliva or respiratory fluids in a lab setting within minutes.
The Misinterpretation: During the briefing, Trump suggested that since disinfectants kill the virus on surfaces, researchers should look into “injection inside or almost a cleaning” to treat the lungs.
The Fallout: Health experts immediately warned that injecting or ingesting bleach is toxic, causes severe health problems, and can be fatal. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and major manufacturers (e.g., Lysol/Dettol) warned against the ingestion of disinfectants.
Note: While not directly created for this, a subsequent study published in PMC (2023) investigated the “problematic-respondent bias” in CDC reports that saw a spike in poison control calls regarding dangerous cleaning practices following this period.
by sharing his foolish assumption he encouraged many people (including kids) to poison themselves
My wife has von willebrand’s disease, meaning she is missing a clotting factor and has always been prone to bleeding. This has meant she had never been able to take ibuprofen or aspirin before, since they are both blood thinners. Nobody really takes aspirin anymore, unless you think you are having a heart attack. She had shoulder surgery a year ago, which obviously causes more inflammation pain than muscle pain. She had coagulation bloodwork done before the surgery and they told her that after rechecking her bloodwork that she no longer has a clotting issue. She must be doing some type of compensation without producing this clotting factor. This meant she can now take ibuprofen and it made recovery so much better than taking something that doesn’t help with inflammation pain. Ibuprofen is amazing.
