I didn't make any argument. Just made a statement that added some perspective. If you don't get that or appreciate that...it's fine. Not sure where you dreamed up the idea that we shouldn't comment on those who don't post here?

show how it goes both ways...and does little good to be sensitive to it. The fact that he added some level of description to his attackers means little.

Kiteboard's comment wasn't 100% innocent. You think he would have said '6 white teens' if that were the case?
Then he calls everyone here 'pathetic' for not adopting his quick healing scheme. And last week he calls Andy Murray 'a jerk' and 'not deserving of his talent' because of the 'emotional poisoning of his timing' and not properly channeling his 'subconscious clock engine'. whatever. Kiteboard, you're becoming annoying.

Thinking back over it at lunch, I think I overreacted.

I have read a lot about this - energy fields, halos, chakras, qi, energized water, magnetic and ionic bracelets, etc. There is an underlying truth that every "thing" is ultimately just vibrations or waves and also that quantum effects are completely true yet completely at odds with everyday experience. The practitioners of these energy methods use these concepts to imply that somehow these effects are important in what they are doing. Because the body emits electromagnetic waves does not mean that moving a metal ring over an injury will fix the problem. Because the planets and stars exert gravitational force on us does not mean they control our destiny.
But what can you say when the staple of "travel" and "science" channels on TV are shows about paranormal things like ghosts and haunted hotels and spirits. A guy goes around with a meter and pronounces that a ghost has been sensed. A woman is "sure" that a spirit bumped into her and vanished. There are actually companies which will send investigators to hunt down the ghosts in your home. |

Can/should we embrace the notion of alternative medicine?
Do we need to knock any new idea? Or any idea we don't embrace? And of course, as said, what do we really HAVE to lose? Most veteran docs know there are lots of alternative healing processes that seem to work. I don't think anyone is saying the cure works for every injury every time, just that it might be a viable alternative to conventional medicine. |

all doctors say preventive medicine is very important but I'm not sure how many really understand how. improving the quality of health when not sick has a lot to do with trying to improve a skill like tennis. proactive thinking instead of being reactive. can't charge as much money doing this however.

Kite - you obviously take a very holistic view to things, are you also a creationist (genuine question)?

I should say at the outset that I have no problems with alternative medicine. It is wholly your choice to use these methods as it's your body. However, I do have issue with people recommending potentially injury-inducing techniques that only they have heard of. I understand that this is an internet forum and it's take it with a grain of salt or leave it, but there are no alternative medicine techniques which are directly harmful in an effort to improve health. That goes back to the days of blood letting and pain therapy. If you want to believe in alternative methods, then please do feel free to post them as many do in fact help lots of people. However, tearing a muscle, playing a close tennis match and then being fully healed in 4 days due to a potentially hazardous technique is not in that category.

Don't forget, 50 years ago, when you had pins inserted into a broken leg, it was thought best to REST the leg and the body, never work up a sweat or increase your heartbeat, to cure the break.
Less than 20 years later, it was believed moderate exercise was the call, even with the bones NOT set, right after pin insertion. Now, it's pretty much normal to get the heartbeat up, work up a light sweat, and use your body to heal any bones that are held together with pins, plates, screws, or wire. The times, they are a changing. |

IN order to play the open player, the next day, with a broken bone in my frame hand, I took a vibrator to it, with a heat pad, after icing it, and then taped the broken finger to the unbroken ones, and made a temp cast, I could remove before and after the match. Hurt like hell, but healed fast in three weeks even after the match, but I kept vibrating it, and removing the cast nightly after work. During estimates, so people did not see I had a cast on, I wore a jacket over the broken hand to hide the cast.
Having track experience, and seen and felt many pulls, I know what a pull is. The open player I played was black also, very dark color. It's not relevant, except for visuality. If you've ever been mugged by a group, of punks, using weapons like sticks and such, you know what that feels like. Hard to see out of blackened eyes. The true point is, I am not normal. To be able to win any games at all would be abnormal. I took it to him by serving and volleying to his bh weak side only. It's not a race issue. We all love the game otherwise why post? If it does not help you, don't do it, but to call it dangerous, is silly. What do you think happens to your blood pressure when you play? When you run? When you grunt or serve? It goes through the roof. This is raising blood pressure without raising heart beat. Shoving with energy and not just pressure. For you to call it dangerous is only due to ignorance. To review string you have not tried is also ignorant. |

I don't believe that the universe was created by accident, in a trillion to trillion chance that life could develop. Why are there so many people who don't see that? I don't know. In our galaxy alone there are probably 10,000 water planets like ours. With life. Water is the most valuable element. In the universe. We are sitting on a gold mine and don't know it. Just because we can't measure divinity or even our own physical energy doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
