Funny... I just read an article about a family hacking through dog poo to recover money, too. Sure, some poo particles might get stuck in microscopic pores and crevices, but otherwise it'll be good as new.
If ever there was a legitimate reason for
money laundering... this is it :eek:

Haha I saw that on the news. That was a lot of money, I'd be cleaning it up too. Probably worse things on money than a bit of doggy shit.
I saw a chiropractor not too long ago, because my joints were always popping and I was waking up stiff and sore. He basically told me it was growing pains. On one hand the fact I'm growing is good, but to just generalize it with that is ridiculous.:mad:

No, Chiropractors are doctors too, at least in civilised countries.
Really? Where? I ask because here in the UK chiropractors are not medically trained and afaik they aren't in the USA. Doesn't mean that they're no good, though the only encounter I've had with one was during a "meet the alternative healthcare professional" day - I had my spine and shoulder crunched and clicked which felt great and gave me relief from an ongoing issue I have for about 2 days. After which I developed a burning sensation in my fingertips for a few days which was very, very worrying for the course organiser.

There are joints in the sternum, they're just not what you usually think of as joints. You're probably popping the joints where the ribs attach to the sternum. There are joint capsules in there just like in your knuckles or neck or whatever else you might pop.
hmm interesting, yeah it feels like where my ribs are connected, any idea on how to crack these? they are especially sore after doing chinups:sweat:

I've been really pushing myself while exercising lately, and have gotten really sore on the top of my sternum, right were I got hit. It's a little worrying at times.

Just extend your chest forward really fast and hard. They'll pop.

I propose that from here on out, we have every July 20th be "Do Counterintuitive and Potentially Dangerous Things to your Own Body Day".
Yeah!

Well of course they aren't recognised by allopathic doctors, who self describe their own philosophy as "normal medical practice", making everyone else's abnormal. All very territorial.
You should have had a follow up after getting the initial adjustment. Relief of one condition can cause other hidden ones (which were compensating for the original problem, for instance) to become evident, requiring a series of complementary adjustments.
I have had great results from both doctors and chiropractors and I have had bad experiences with both. I think it has more to do with the nature of the person than the belief system they learned.
Too many doctors get the healer beaten out of them in their education - I mean, what's that internship crap about? Let's see if we can crack the little bastards, forcing them to work 36 hour shifts, making life and death decisions! Sounds more like a hazing ritual than an education.

That's a pretty sweeping generalisation. We actually work closely with and value everyone who falls under the "allied health professional" umbrella. And that includes osteopaths and chiropractors. There are those that are very cynical though.

It was just a sampler. Plus there no way I was going to pay the follow up price!

But of course.

That's all changed in Europe now with the European Working Time Directive. Doctors in the UK have their hours limited by pretty strict rules that encompass such things as maximum hours per week, max hours in a row, and enforced rest periods after long shifts. I'm doing a 12 hour overnight shift right now, with 12 hours off in the day to rest. Plus I'm not that busy (hence on forums) and after this and pizza with the A&E nurses I'm going to bed until I'm bleeped.
