Well then, I'm nearly a rock star. I am the next Beatles/Hendrix/Elvis/. If only it weren't for all those successful musicians I would be much much famouser.
It looks like there may be some relation between the Chinese idea of "chi", energy flowing through the body, and mitochondria, the little guys in our bodies that are responsible for delivering energy where it needs to go. Mine are broken so I feel tired all the time, and get a variety of problems stemming from that.
It really looks like they were on to something, even though they probably had no idea what it really was.
It sounds like you could use some alternative therapies actually. Basically, it boils down to finding what works for you. Find a really good practitioner who will work with you on: diet, exercise, posture, and hopefully including some hands-on bodywork. You could have a sleep disorder, some dietary/digestion issues, or.. any number of things going on. Anyway, my overall advice is to find someone willing to take the time to effectively diagnose your condition(s).
(Disclosure: my wife is a chiropractor/acupuncturist, so yes, I have my bias...)
Again, I'm not, for now, addressing effectiveness of treatment. That is a complicated issue and deserves a response, and well, a lot more research no doubt. My question is: if there is a high risk of permanent injury or death from chiropractic, WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
What I am saying is that "risk of permanent injury or death" is a quantifiable risk. Those are pretty strong words, and those who insure chiropractors know damn well what that risk is in terms of insurance liability. So, what is the relative risk of seeing a chiropractor for back pain, for example, vs. back surgery? In short, where is the trail of mangled and dead bodies leading from chiropractic offices?
Effectiveness, appropriate care, and so on, is another topic that deserves discussion.... and I don't have the time at the moment. Maybe later though.
Someone using a chiropractor is getting actual short-term pain relief (not treatment) at the risk of permanent injury or death.
Have you compared insurance rates for chiropractors to medical doctors? Those numbers would be a reliable indicator of the relative risk of chiropractic treatment.
Actually, the "poop enema" thing is being used now in hospitals as a treatment for C. Difficile. (Father-in-law had this procedure.) Basically, when you have obliterated your GI with a series of antibiotics, the enema repopulates your nuked intestinal bacteria.
So yes, there is new stuff barely accepted by the establishment that is now becoming a "thing". Someday, I imagine, doctors may advocate that a patient exercise and create a decent diet for themselves, but that would be pretty outrageous. All healing must be delivered surgically or in pill form. That's the rule. Of course I am joking here, but in the current medical model(s), Big Med determines what is and what is not a valid treatment. If it is not insurance billable, it is not really considered seriously. Therefore, patients taking responsibility for their health tends not to be emphasized. "Just fix me doc! Write me a scrip and I will be on my way."
Oranges may be natural medicine, but they're not homeopathy.
The theory of homeopathy is that you cure a disease with a drug that reproduces the symptoms of that disease (that's the prefix "homo" in homeopathy-- "same"). So, oranges would only be useful as a homeopathy remedy if eating oranges gives you the symptoms of scurvy....and then homeopathy takes that drug and dilutes it until not a single molecule originating in an orange is in the drug. The homeopathy cure for scurvy would be "take a drink of water from a glass of water that was filled from a glass of water that was filled from a glass of water that had one drop of orange juice in it.
Yes, well the key question here is: no pulp or extra pulp?
It used to be scarily common, but I believe that it's slowly phasing out in favor of hitting a website where you can (re)set the password yourself after a couple of security questions.
I believe it's just a sign of old code (or an old coder) on the site. There may be cases where the guy writing the sitecode is inexperienced or incompetent, but I like to think that such cases are rare.

Hey, watch it pal. I was born and raised on '12345' and it's always worked out great for me. Now get off my punch card machine, er, I mean, lawn.
I don't know who does this, but I'm waiting for the market of "watching paint dry" to start picking up, then I'm buying a can of paint and charging $300 for an hour of viewing.
Well, clearly, this is the introductory offer, right? I wouldn't expect such a good deal once this thing goes viral..
That would literally be quite a stretch. Actually, it's more like 16 oz. or so for a healthy adult. But it's hard to blow things up with a pint of pee.
1. Be reliable and work hard. Be on-time to work and meet deadlines.
2. Be nice to everyone (i.e. be likeable). Treat everyone the way you want to be treated (presumably with kindness and respect).
3. Be competent at what you do - possibly even the best in the office (the "go-to" guy with the big problems.)
Examples:
1 + 2 = The incompetent but "he tries hard", punctual guy that everyone likes.
2 + 3 = The cool guy that's perpetually tardy, misses deadlines, etc. but gets the tough things done and is a go-to guy.
1 + 3 = The talented office ahole that everyone needs. To the extreme: Steve Jobs.
If you don't do two of those three things, you'll be out of a job sooner rather than later.
Also, aspire to all 3. My (current) motto is: "focus on customer service". As a developer, I have a set of tasks on my plate and need to shift priorities around on my own initiative. Whenever I can, if someone needs something from me ASAP, I drop my current task and focus on what will make them successful. (assuming my current task is longer term).
Find the least complex solution to whatever task is at hand.
More to the point, it's impossible to independently (& personally) verify the data and claims of everything that you would like verified. There's not enough time in the world.
I have a 97' Miata with no CD or tape deck. It does radio, line in, and has a USB port for whatever mass storage device you want to play music from. What more could you want?

I am sure Einstein described himself as a patent clerk as well.
Let me ask you a question - have you ever pleasured yourself?
Would you like me to describe you as "Noted Masturbator"? It may be true that you have done it, but it is not an appropriate way to refer to you.
I am pretty adamant on that point--call me Master Masturbator, or expect a strongly worded letter from my attorney!

The missile system clearly did not engage as designed. Also, no lasers??? What is this, the 1950's?
You must acquit?
Dammit OJ! Could you just stop it with the bullshit excuses already? What's our tee time btw?

Gaa, your post was a PTSD trigger for me... make it stop! Oh wait, kids are grown. Ah, nevermind.
That's odd. My router only has an "impregnate women" setting.

Be good at 2 of the following 3 things:
1. Be reliable and work hard. Be on-time to work and meet deadlines. 2. Be nice to everyone (i.e. be likeable).

But I saw it on facebook!
That's good enough for me!
Then, something amazing happened...
You sound upset, maybe you need to get in your BMW and go visit your supermodel girlfriend for some comfort.
Dude, don't tell him THAT! (quickly putting clothes on and scramming out the back door...)

Well, #ifdef KLUDGE has always worked for me...
He also did things like stay out at night and dance tango. He's the cool pope that is needed by the catholic church!
Never thought I would be jealous of Catholics...
I think they accidentally picked a good one.
