Title: Traditional Remedies!!!
Post by: Seany on 21/04/2007 22:55:30
Do anyone know any good traditional remedies? Which actually MAY work? Or something like, the rain dance, to make it rain! Anyone know any to do with our health and things? [;D]

You should specify better: a remedy for what?
I have an idea...a remedy for forum-posting-compulsive-addiction?

I must tell you something young Hero Seany.
I made 2 topics about a good traditional remedy: Childhood Leuk.(here) and Cod Liver Oil (Complementary Med.).  The subject, the complexity and length of those threads are absolutely too much for your age and speed.
So go anywhere else but DON'T read those topics. Please.

I told you that stuff is not for your age, too complex and tricky.
So leave it alone. There are so many other things to gobble voraciously without thinking much.

If its miracles you're after. I use traditional aftershave to attract women. I can confirm it does not work. [:(!]

Are you sure?  You can't say it just like that!
For having a preliminary report you have to:
- stuff your nose so you cannot smell a thing
- choose a randomized operator to put aftershave or placebo
- 'challange' separately a significant number of women
- women's groups should be matched for age and beauty
...and have the results analized by a proper statistician!
Further studies will be needed to test different brands
of traditional aftershaves, major companies will support them.

traditional..not really..guess my country is too developed to use "traditional" medicines now.

Post by: Ben6789 on 26/04/2007 13:11:52
but i can think of one..leeches.
Title: Traditional Remedies!!!
Post by: iko on 26/04/2007 21:56:12
Yeah, I can imagine young Seany
with lots of leeches around...
No, I think he meant something
magic or a mystery of sort.  [:-\]

Hi neilep,
you'd just been unfortunately diagnosed as a bursitic-arthritic-banged-awfully-smashed-knee patient.
We scheduled you for a bilateral double knee transplant (they go in pairs).
We'll give you some stem cells in the process...they are always good for you.
Surprisingly enough, the cheapest bargain offer is in
Wonderland County Hospital for Sick Knees (Nowhere Land).
We'll fly you there by Brian Unfair Airlines for little money (just ambulance Taxes).
No food or drinks included. Bring your own wine and anesthetics.
Please let us know your opinion and credit card number.
...
Wish you a slow but constant self healing in the meantime!
Do not forget physiotherapy or some wise exercise anyway.
Take care
