What a fucking idiot
Crackpot theory: pictured poster is trying to do a twin study, giving one twin medical care in accordance to generally accepted best practices and the other almond mom style care but they want to control variables by having them see the same doctor. I look forward to reading their study when they publish it in 2-18 years depending on if the one participant survives
almond mom
Typically white suburban moms who were 90s girls and never accepted they had an eating disorder, so now they have to make it everyone else’s problem
“A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips is my almond moms favorite mantra”
why almond
In Germany such doctors are all over the place and embedded within the statutory health care system. It was a huge shock to me, when I first arrived here. Their health care system has been a huge let down, in general, but this was beyond crazy to me. Sometimes, if you are not careful you go to a pharmacy or a doctor's clinic and you get prescribed snake oil voodoo medicine, if you are not careful.
the issue is that most of the worlds' ~~placebo~~ homeopathic globoli production happens in one region of Germany, and these industries have yes money to lobby shit, at least if you avoid the doctor's offices that look like a 70s new-wave nostalgia trip you can be sure to avoid 90% of these idiots
PSA: keep essential oils away from your cats. Don't pit them in them, and especially don't use those vaporizers. Most of those oils are toxic to cats. If you want your house to smell nice, burn incense.
If you don't have cats, go wild; there's nothing wrong with the oils themselves, and they smell nice. But many are toxic to cats, and it can be hard to get a complete list of which.
Neither are going to protect or cure you of anything (except, perhaps, a cat infestation), but scent can be nice.
Incense and smelling nice is combination I never thought I'd see.
So, of course there's absolutely preference, but there's only one hard rule about incense: you have to be the inner burning it. Walking into a room full of incense that someone else picked and burned is rarely fun. Strong scents like that depend a lot on mood to be pleasing. It's like a curry at the office: if you're the one having it, it can smell great, but walking into a break room filled with the smell of someone else's curry they just heated in the microwave can be nauseating.
You'd have only slightly worse luck finding one that encourages the use of tobacco.
