You don’t have to know how something works to get symptom improvement, and it’s not “supposedly” JAMA, it is JAMA...lol. We are still unsure exactly how tylenol, penicillin, and lithium works, but we still prescribe them freely because they provide relief from symptoms.

JAMA published a pool of 29 studies involving 18,000 participants and found it reduced pain by about 50%, and is quoted as saying “Acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic pain and is therefore a reasonable referral option.”:

whoa whoa whoa, acupuncture has a lot of legitimate studies backing up its claims. it’s certainly not nonsense.

i just pull the fabric of the romper & my undies way to the side. very feasible.

What? Most credible sources (CDC, NIH - not the New York Daily News as someone posted above....) are suggesting we NOT freak out.

don’t worry!!! this is very very very rare, hence why it’s newsworthy. everything will go well for you.

can you provide evidence that European background = intolerance to soy and chickpeas? I’ve never heard that in my entire life. not denying that you got sick, but i’m 50% polish and 50% italian and have never had problems with either, nor have i ever seen evidence for it.

There are plenty of omnivorous kids who eat nothing but french fries and oreos, too. Most kids are getting supplements via enriched shakes, enriched juices, enriched cereals, enriched packaged foods. Kids are picky and difficult to feed and when I used to work in an after school program, half the kids ate hot fries or…

lol, thank you for sharing this! that sucks they make the rest of us look like idiots :(

Honestly, it’s not. The ADA came out with a long long paper stating that vegan diets are adequate in all stages of life, even pregnancy. A well-planned vegan diet can hit all the nutritional mainstays, as any well-planned diet can. Many omnivorous parents don’t adequately plan their kids diets - I find it suspect this…

The majority of vegan parents I know have gone to nutritionists to make sure it’s safe for their kids - in fact, I would argue vegan parents are more concerned about their kids’ diets than non-vegan parents because of stigma and because of the potential for malnutrition. What a lot of people don’t realize is there’s…

i think he is just reacting to an obviously egregiously priced form of exercise that, like, 95% of the population could not afford. it’s shocking and confusing to think about.

Neo-liberalism is a resurgence of laissez-fair economics, or a belief that the free market solves all. When someone is called a Neoliberal, you can bet that they are spouting off talking points that would make Regan…

i think the 2nd paragraph needs significant editing........

this is trash

i hated her for this quote, then i remembered her favorite book is a “true story” about a woman who goes to heaven then comes back. her IQ is maxing out at like 98. not gonna have many profound thoughts on feminism when you’re at that level, lol.

absolutely! it’s actually pretty chill now, and my office is right around where MSNBC is filming. a few protests in the downtown area but it’s mostly localized to the actual stadium where the convention is, and that’s deep deep south philly, almost in jersey. you’ll be good to go :)

they’re everywhere around Philly today with pins and signs that say “Bernie or Bust.” better get bustin’, folks, b/c it’s over.

that’s what i’ve been thinking this WHOLE TIME! it’s so obviously from a text screenshot generator online. like, the texts are 2 different colors. lolll

i honestly don’t think she’s had any. she’s pretty young. i think it’s just exceptionally weird gene combinations.
