Woo World Self Treater

Via The Second Sight, I find an example of a tool that, I suspect, many alties will find highly useful: The Woo World Self Treater. It'll allow you to diagnose yourself free from the boot of big pharma and the oppressive evidence-based medicine that close-minded "conventional" doctors like me advocate.

My results are below the fold:

Quantum-consciousness analysis of your auric field shows you are suffering the symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, which is commonly seen among males born under the sign of Leo. This may also be due to alien implants. Magnet therapy has been shown to be effective* in relieving the symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder and allowing the body to heal itself. You can also boost your immune levels by remembering to know are all a part of the environment, and commence colonic irrigations to remove toxins.

Since you are vaccinated you are also strongly urged to contact a naturopath or kinesiologist to test whether you have autism.

Amazingly accurate, isn't it? I'd better have my TMJ treated immediately and then head out for some chelation therapy. While I'm at it, I'll get my chakras realigned and my qi flows unblocked.

Feel free to post your own results...

Ooh, this is creepy. Insomnia! I DO have some trouble staying asleep. What are the odds that could have been random chance? Oh? I guess no amount of evidence would be enough to convince a skeptic.

Still - rectally administered rock salt? Other people got to make friends of themselves, play with magnets, or receive food rubs (reiki). What a gyp.

"Quantum-consciousness?"

Ask Deepak Chopra.

"Some very famous neurologists adopt the common-sense approach, declaring that the mind is real and precedes the brain. I would point readers to Wilder Penfield and Sir John Eccles (the latter won the Nobel Prize for his work on synaptic activity). He is the author of the famous phrase, "God is in the gap." In other words, molecules aren't the source of intelligence; something we can't see operating in and among our brain cells is."

Just keep pressing the button to run through the possibilities.

Who needs testimonials from satisfied users? I've got a compliment from Choprafan. At least, I think it's a compliment...

Note to Sastra and Calli: I've been told to go pound sand before, but ROCK SALT - now that would be bad!
