Ges wat Options

So anyways,

today I went to some doctor that costs $100.00 a minute because apparently they can heal EVERYTHING. o_o A few of my mom's friends went, and some of the stories are:

A mom and daughter got their allergies completely healed. They used to take Claritin and Benadryll, but now they don't have to take anything o_o

Someone had a crippled leg for one year, but after a few treatments, his legs were completely healed.

SO because I also have terrible allergies... (my skin f**ks up a LOT), my mom made me go see him. All three of us were "treated" today.

Basically, we went in there and talked to some Chinese dude. We were told to go into a room, strip butt-naked and lie down on a bed w/ some sanitary paper sheet thing on it. He came in, pinched my back like f**king hell for a minute, told me to get dressed, and left.

While I was there, there were like 10 other people there. Some lady even flew in from LA to get treated. It's called like YSY therapy or something... I believe there is a website.



SO WHAT ARE SOME WEIRD TREATMENTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HAD?

My brother injured his knee a few years ago, and because Western medicine is absolute crap with any sort of chronic pain, we went to see Chinese doctors.

Sometimes you really come across a bunch of jackasses who aren't doing anything. This one guy came in and hit his knee with a hammer-like thing, hard, and from outside it sounded like torture. Another guy just waved his hands over his knee and muttered something, LITERALLY.

But when you find one that works, Chinese medicine isn't all that bad, or weird. Most of the time you just have to go with the "massage with gross-smelling oil" route. I've grown up to having my sprained ankles massaged at painfully for hours on end, but it always heals faster and better than it would if i just let it "sit".
