I hope you guys are drinking plenty of water and not becoming dehydrated!
(you know your screwing yourselves up with this nonsense don't you?)
Gemini do you have to disagree with everything that is considered alternative medicine? It's an incredibly broad term covering many, many disciplines and techniques, how can you just dismiss the whole lot outright?
EDIT - For example I don't just dismiss mainstream medicine like some people I know do, I pick and choose things from everywhere based on my own judgement. I would never just dismiss something without making the effort to understand it.
Well, since you ask, I've more than made an effort to understand it, I've felt first hand how damaging it can be and how utterly devoid of any moral values the entire money sucking herbal industry is.
I have yet to see any alternative "medicine" which is anything more than a fantastic money making vehicle which preys on peoples insecurities while doing far more harm in the world than good.
Sure, there are some things sold by these quacks which have genuine medicinal value, however those few things are massively exaggerated to convince people that the whole industry is in some way wholesome and "natural" and better than those nasty evil drug companies with all their science, research and actual clinical trials.
There is a reason our life expectancy is so high in the western world, massively higher in fact than the places this herbal crap is generally advertised as coming from, and all despite of our dreadful western diets and lazy lifestyles and evil pharmaceutical companies.
All that said, my reason for posting was to remind you to drink lots of fluid. Having just come out of hospital and having just spent several weeks doing an actual
clinical liver flush, I can tell you first hand that you *must* drink lots of water or you can do a lot of harm to yourself and at the very least become dangerously dehydrated.
