On page 279: "Standardized extracts of herbs such as devil's claw and white willow bark may have both anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties" On page 280: "Devil's claw, for example...may also cause allergic reactions, headaches, tinnitus, and LOSS OF THE SENSE OF TASTE." Capitalization mine. I think we're done here, Save Your Hands.

Danger signs! "Some allopathic physicians are now practicing what is termed 'integrative medicine,' which incorporates proven treatments from naturopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture, massage, and other alternative modalities..."

Good tip: you can tell that you're flexing or extending your wrists an unsafe amount when you see creases or folds in the skin on the side you're moving toward.

I didn't find the entire page devoted to convincing the reader to buy an adjustable table (for thousands of dollars) very helpful.
