… or rather, he needed a hole in the head more than he needed cancer.
Thread about a woman who burned her nose off.
Why do I not want to click on these links… :eek:
… and now,a person who eats juice-soaked balls. And no, not mine, sadly.
You missed out on a great NIN reference. This reminds me of trepanning.
Head Like A Hole is a great song. Anyway, these people should stick to coffee enemas or whatever if they want to treat their cancer with pseuo-medicines. At least they won’t be disfigured on top of having cancer.
Why would drinking lemon water for a lousy 2 weeks cause your teeth to fall out?
:dubious:
At least he has a new answer to “what’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?”…
Might as well kill off your tumors by shooting Krokodil into them.
Holy shit! I think I’d take the skin cancer.
The acid might erode your enamel, maybe?
Not in 2 weeks it won’t. Even if the drinker didn’t brush their teeth ever.
Either they were doing this for much longer than it said, or the article isn’t telling us something.
My partner lost all her enamel from eating one lime cheesecake. Granted it did have 37 limes in it, but still …
What is cotton wool? Those are two very different things. And most “cotton balls” really aren’t cotton they are synthetic.
And who the hell eats them? Wouldn’t you end up with a bowel obstruction?
:dubious:
Enamel wears off over time. Granted it can be sped up by eating sugary crap and/or not brushing teeth. But eating one thing isn’t going to do it alone.
“Black salve” products containing corrosive bloodroot are not only sold in Australia* - they’re promoted by alt med advocates in the U.S. and are widely available over the Internet, including on Ebay.
Who wouldn’t want to risk painful disfigurement and scarring, while at the same time allowing bits of cancer that survive to grow and metastasize?
Obviously all the negative publicity is a plot to enrich Giant Pharma. :dubious:
*One of the notorious Australian promoters of black salve is the much-loathed Australian (anti-) Vaccination Network, which advertised the stuff on its website and still complains about the government cracking down on it.
To be fair, “black salve” sounds like something completely wholesome :dubious:. Well mostly it sounds like a Final Fantasy monster.
Looks like the AVN is now the “Australian Vaccination-Skeptics Network” as of February. More accurate, although the dash seems unnecessary.
Well, that’s what her dentist told her when she complained to him about her newly hyper-sensitive teeth. He put her on a diet of only one lime per day …
This rename was forced on them by Big Bad Government Regulation. Good on you, BBGR!
That’s what the British and Australians call cotton balls. I have a vague memory that the terminology has something to do with the fact that prior to the industrial revolution in Britain, their primary fibers were linen and wool, so wool is part of the frame of reference for cotton.
Just don’t do a Google image search for Black Salve Cancer.
Germans call it “tree wool” basically. German can be elegant sometimes.
Oh, and pica is the name for the disorder where people eat weird things. Depending on what they eat, yes it can absolutely cause an obstruction.
