Because women clearly do. Straight women after all, aren't exactly muff-divers.

There are worse times.

Someone needs to sit down with today's twenty-somethings, look them straight in the eye and say: "you're not perfect and you shouldn't demand others be".

But that's what's been discussed earlier, there's no certification or licensing regime at all. I don't think, based on the crunchiness of the profession, that most people would want that sort of rigor. Plus at that point, why not have a midwife, who are usually more hands on and fully qualified?

FFS there is medical data, including studies to support acupuncture, it's not something that you get to choose doesn't work based on your hippy dippy crazy pills.

Understatement. Newsfeed apparently is Kinja based and it barely loads sometimes.

It means the only people dumb enough to use them are women with money to burn.

I'm going out on a limb here but wouldn't a nutritionist have training and certification and/or licensing?

The most disgusting part of this is that hack Steve Harvey.

Chiropractors are often covered (they have good lobbyists), and acupuncture has medical validation. I can get you cites if you require for the acupuncture side, but it is limited to certain kinds of treatment. Most will not cover acupuncture for allergies, because there's no medical data to back it up, but they will…

Not to worry, that's next on the list for rich women.

Is she Irish or American? In any case tell her to mind her own or she won't have anyone to care for her in her old age.

Oh did I forget the part where they call your Uber? Oh my bad!

Palm-reading, energy halo interpretation, past life regression, doulas, all part and parcel of things that have absolutely no medically proven purpose.

So you work at Google, land of ridiculous perks. Got it.

Straight women...

Oh did I forget the part where they call your Uber? Oh my bad!

Oh well someone else told me they would be covered under her insurance plan, so apparently the crazy is already out of the barn.

And you do know that plenty of insurance companies pay out for services of individuals who are not medical professionals in any appreciable sense, right?

Or the super woman who reads your halos and tells you about your past lives!
