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..." I don't like the use of the words "allopathic" or "proven" here. Needs citation.

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.

I guess I should keep reading this, since I tend to be awful to my thumbs. Pro tip: your middle knuckle naturally sticks out farther than the others, so it's a good substitute for finger pressure.

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.

And this is just adorable: "As used by homeopaths, the term allopathy has always referred to the principle of curing disease by administering substances that produce other symptoms (when given to a healthy human) than the symptoms produced by a disease. For example, part of an allopathic treatment for fever may include the use of a drug which reduces the fever, while also including a drug (such as an antibiotic) that attacks the cause of the fever (such as a bacterial infection). A homeopathic treatment for fever, by contrast, is one that uses a diluted and succussed dosage of a substance that in an undiluted and unsuccussed form would induce fever in a healthy person. Hahnemann used this term to distinguish medicine as practiced in his time from his use of infinitesimally small doses of substances to treat the spiritual causes of illness."
