    I have a whiplash injury from 47 years ago. A wise physician who broke her neck in medical school advised me to avoid surgery as long as possible. My chiropractor keeps me out of pain, insurance pays for it and he doesn't sell anything else. There are scammers in every industry. Not everyone is bad. I rarely hear of successful spinal surgeries. I'll stick with Chiropractic.

      My sister has scoliosis and she swears by her chiropractor to alleviate the pain. My friend also loves her chiropractor. My dad tried it recently and said it was helpful - he’s 72 and in good health but there’s wear and tear on the body. I’ve never done it but I have gotten massages on a regular basis and it is HEAVEN. I feel so good after a massage (we hold a lot of stress in our body). Recently I decided to try Reiki along with a massage and minimally the guided meditation, singing bowls, and hands touching the body felt very good… as she worked on my energy (which I felt which I was like Nicole once and dismissed things like this as woo woo scams) I also felt some emotions and let go of some past pain. Regardless of whether there was something there (I felt tingling energy and the flow of it in myself) but even if that’s a placebo it was a very pleasant experience + the massage! To each their own. I love yoga and hot epsom salt essential oil baths for stress relief.

      As I’ve been recovering from chronic EBV I’ve also read some of Andrew Weil MD “Spontaneous Healing” and “Spontaneous Happiness” and he’s a medical doctor who does NOT dismiss alternative/ancient medical practices. I think it’s hubris to think we know better, one thing or another. There are a lot of things which have not been properly studied and if people say anecdotally it helps them, as someone who loves the scientific method I say we should study it. Unfortunately too many medical studies are funded by the very pharma companies wanting to sell this or that. So it’s not that I’m anti-medicine or anti-vax necessarily… I’m just wary of people selling something. The chiropractor Dr Berg says eat healthy but also “buy my meds” and big pharma says “buy my medicine, take my vaccines” - everyone is trying to sell you something. Just be in discernment. :)

      Every kid asked their parents that question. I sure did. And I received the same answer.😂 I had to grow up and start paying my own way in life before I realized why the answer was valid. Kids basically live under a socialist family unit model. They are completely dependent and think Mom and Dad are Santa Claus and that money grows on trees.
      Sadly, many adults have never left this silly and ridiculous childhood view of economics behind - even after years of being out in the real world. Politicians recognize this yearning on the part of many adults to remain children forever - which is why they bribe them with government programs designed to buy votes in exchange for making voters dependent on socialist government programs for subsistence. That is another SCAM that should be on one of Nicole’s lists.

    Quick-fix weight loss is indeed a scam. Nowadays, they also claim that certain foods affect your metabolism differently and they try to muddy up the waters of the calories in/calories out scenario. My recent trip to France was a real eye-opener. In the supermarket, there was very little canned or frozen food and an emphasis on fresh food like in the seafood section where they had whole freaking fish! Plus there are a whole lot more pedestrians on their way to shopping, bus stops, train stations, etc. In little sandwich restaurants they use what tastes like soda bread (no sugar) and different types of breading for chicken, fish etc. And you can tell the quality of the meat is better, especially with a kebob sandwich I ate near the St. Denis Cathedrale. Way less sugar in everything overall and way less processed food, and way less overweight or obese folks from what I could see.

    Just wanted to comment on a point you made with chiropractors, something like “if they could heal you why would you need to keep going for years?”
    As someone who has severe chronic pain I think you’re missing those of us who are looking for chronic pain maintenance-I get a lot of massages for instance to help with my issues (I need very knowledgeable people to work on my knees for instance, can’t just walk into any masseuse) but I would never assume that if I get enough massages then I wouldn’t need them anymore-that’s just not the reality of my deformed body 😅
    I used to go to chiropractors and similarly I was looking for maintenance relief more than a cure; there are many of us with chronic health conditions that will never go away no matter what we do but there’s no reason we shouldn’t seek relief 💛

    When I was a child, my mom took me with her to her chiropractor appointment to see how it works. The chiropractor, who was married and knew my mom was married, relentlessly flirted with her in front of me the entire time. It was super uncomfortable.

    • @sallyprzybil2404
      @sallyprzybil2404 4 месяца назад

      They ‘lowered’ your Credit Score because they wanted to give you a loan with a higher interest rate. That’s a big part of the scam: banks and other loan companies purposely can and do manipulate your ‘score’ to force people into higher interest rate loans, especially for home loans. Over the life of the loan, usually 30 years, even just a slightly higher interest rate on the loan means they make thousands and thousands of more dollars in interest.

    • @marcdc6809
      @marcdc6809 4 месяца назад +2

  • @mishandr6717

    Credit score is a euphemism for “love debt” score. Same as a public school teacher is a euphemism for “presenter”. Losing weight is a euphemism for “losing fat.” Losing fat is much harder than losing weight. Start calling things their real names and it will make perfect sense every time.

  • @sallyprzybil2404
    @sallyprzybil2404 4 месяца назад +8

    Agreed with the weight loss stuff. There’s one thing that these weight loss companies skip over. That is, for women, weight gain is almost always attached to hormone levels. That’s why the diet programs don’t work, because no one addresses the root cause, hormone imbalance. Basically weight is linked to two hormones, cortisol levels and estrogen levels. I’ve been fighting weight issues for many years ( since I quit smoking years ago). Yes, it’s partially attached to me replacing a smoking addiction with food ( given the choice I’d rather be alive and fat from food than dead from smoking). Also I worked a very high stress job, and under stress cortisol levels increase making weight loss difficult without lowering stress levels. But my weight issues became really out of control after a hysterectomy where they took out ovaries too. There went my estrogen levels dropping. None of the doctors suggested estrogen replacement, and none of the doctors ever explained that low estrogen would have effects on my body, including weight gain. Just another time our medical community is dropping the ball with insufficient advice!

So, desperate, they turn to homeopathic, and on and on. All the official systems have failed them and they are still in pain. My heart goes out to these people. I hope I never fall into that problem.

In the US, not making credit purchases after a long period of time negatively affects a person's credit score because the credit unions can't track your purchases or your payment habits. Also, In the US, paying off any debt to quickly, especially large debt, will not benefit your score in any way, whatsoever.
