i am so SICK of this "natural goodness" "free from harmful chemicals" etc paranoid "health food" stuff, aaargh

[Fillyjonk]

aaaargh

I am doing my shop online at goodnessdirect .

now don't get me wrong, dried mango and other actual food and so forth GOOD, its all this parnoia about chemicals that is getting me.

Eat good food cos it TASTES nice, not cos you think that otherwise insidious chemicals will do something bad

oh i desrve a flaming from the lentil weavers, I have broken rank, i am sorry, but aaaargh!

and don't get me started on ecos and their anti-radiation paint...

the terrible thing is that that might well be true...

Corned beef doesn't have corn in it

I ate cake everyday while pregnant! The baby couldn't be healthier!

oh god am just having a rant really

its this suspicion of medical stuff then the shoveling any old crap down ones throat because its "alternative" that gets me.

like the idea that "geomagnets" neutralise electromagentic radiation

or ecos anti electromagnetic paint (what does it do, keep out all heat and light?)

also we do usually take too many vitamins, and msot vitamins are mosre effective form a food source

You may be right. Smallpox is natural

feck me do NOT get me started on anti-vaccination crap

i normally just keep my distance to avoid manslaughter charges

I was wondering if you were pre-menstrual this week Filly but it is not nearly full moon

pmsl

ah no my mooncup remains sadly unused

4.6 years and counting. that must be a record for a woman with no actual known health problems or anything

I like this thread

No that is quite an achievement

I am I must admit I felt I had rejoined the ranks of lesser mortals when mine restarted after a year of breastfeeding

It's the pendants with anti electro-magnetism radiation woo woo power that get me. Quantum healing my fat hairy ass.

StG has a point though and actually there are plenty of randomised controlled drug trials which show that giving a placebo works better than the real thing especially when it comes to depression.

So if the "placebo" is also effective like crystals or some healing then why is everyone so bothered?

oh bloody hell quantum stuff

omg yes

anyone in doubt, HERE is what you should ask any crystal peddler:

You: has your product been subjected to rigorous double blind testing?

its surprising how often the answer contains of the following: no/ conspiracy/don't believe in science

theres a good explaination for that glitterfairy, it has to do with relaxation and stopping adrenalin and so on

or

studies are inconclusive or some scientists think (insert electromagnetic radition causes childhood leukeimia, mobile phones cause sprouting of second head etc)

when in fact, there are a load of badly designed studies which fail to show no connection and one or two really good, really thorough, large sample size study which shows that it is utter and complete gibberinsh

and then that study is referenaced as "only one study has ever shown..."

BillyBonk, sorry to barge in on your lovely thread but are you doing the Mile for Maude in Cardiff? I am

Great thread, pmsl

"Well Filly - Would you live next door to an Electricity Station or substation? Or have high-tension electricity pillons running over your house? "

Whoah, performance art, a round of applause please.

oh hey boris

I am Not Sure atm so am keeping out of it. I have a bunch of assessments/exams round then. and weddings. and am already panicking at the thought of May.

are you a scientist, fillyjonk?

studying electromagnetic theory put me off living under a pylon.
