A woman running a business from home doesn't want to give her address out on the forum, for very obvious reasons. So therefore admin decides to delete all her posts and the posts of people replying to them, thereby greatly affecting her business. Pretty disgraceful, I'd say. ETA: But hopefully you were being sarcastic about the "top form".

Pretty sure I did.

I just emailed the highways department about something unrelated to CPZ, and was amused to see this in the middle of their automatic reply: "If your email is a request for a controlled parking zone please note that due to the volume of requests we receive, we are unable to respond to each individual email." Volume of requests????!!!!

You introduced it as some kind of judgement. Having relatives with mental health problems doesn't make you an expert it seems. ased on very little information?!" Somebody has a haircut they aren't happy with, harasses the person who cut their hair and then attacks them with a hammer? I wouldn't say that was "very little information". ETA: And "some kind of judgement"? How do you interpret what I said as a "judgement"? ETA: And why do you suggest I think I'm an "expert"? I gave some background to indicate (I thought) that I am sympathetic to and have experience of people who are mentally ill. I really cannot understand why you are reacting to my post in this way. From the information given on this thread, do you think the person who attacked the barber is completely well?

I am not sure why you call this "casual labelling". Could you explain? I don't think my post was in any way stigmatising people with mental health issues. Several of my close relatives have been hospitalised for mental illness, including one who was sectioned several times. I think there needs to be wider discussion and awareness, not getting uptight every time mental illness is mentioned.

rendelharris, you have misunderstood my questions, which having read your answers is entirely my fault for not being sufficiently clear. I don't have time to answer your post now as I have a gig to run tonight and I have to leave soon to set up. But don't worry, I'll come back to them :)) :)) :)) Though possibly not till after the weekend :)) :)) :))

I did physics, chemistry and pure maths at uni for a year. Didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped, and changed to psychology, which is what my degree is. Then did post-grad research in psychology. Know quite a bit about research methodology. I do hope that is OK for you, but if not do feel free to ask for further details (that last bit was sarcastic, by the way).

Thanks edc

However, in this particular case, I suspect he can't answer at least one of them :)) Let's give him the benefit of the doubt though, eh? :))

RPC, I agree. I have never found the usual sort of homeopathy works for me, but rescue remedy does. I have had acupuncture in the past, and found for some things it worked but only in the short term, and for other things not at all. But interestingly, I was sometimes able to tell whether the acupuncturist had the needles in the right place, and ask him to move them if not, purely by the sensation. Somebody I knew who was a reflexologist and a healer worked (as a reflexologist and healer) in an NHS hospital with cancer patients. Mindfulness courses are being "prescribed" these days on the NHS for people with long-term physical illnesses. All sorts of herbs which have been used by herbalists for years are now being studied and incorporated into mainstream medicine/drugs. I think it's great that the medical profession is becoming so much more open to using and recommending complementary approaches to illness.

Did you call the police with the details of the car? Sorry to keep banging on about calling the police, but posting on here isn't going to reduce crime. Telling the police about the incident might, so hopefully you did :)

It's a > horrible thing to have happened to Jamie whatever > was going on with the perpetrator. Yes, of course it was a horrible thing to have happened. What in my post made you think I have anything but sympathy for the victim? ETA: A post above says the hammer attack "was the culmination of a period of harrassment by the perpetrator whose hair Jamie had cut but wasn't happy with it". My point was that that was not normal behaviour and therefore there may have been a reason for the attack other than pure malice and aggression. I'm sorry if I didn't express it very well, but I don't think it is irrelevant to the thread.

So looking at their website, there appear to be two women doctors at DMC currently. I'm assuming you mean the one who isn't highly praised above?

The very definition of the > placebo effect. No, you presume completely wrong. They didn't say anything. I didn't have time to "believe" anything. I didn't even know them. They put a drop on my tongue when I was in quite a bad state, which they heard from the next room and came into mine. It had an immediate effect. They told me what it was later. I had never even heard of it before. you're clearly getting > all in a tizzy about your non-evidence-based > beliefs being questioned. I don't have "beliefs".

Science is making progress all the time, for example in particle physics, but it can't yet explain everything (or do you think it can?) The universe is a lot weirder than anybody could have imagined. If you think it isn't, maybe you should read up on some physics. Perhaps you could explain to me: 1) Which of my claims you would like to be proved 2) How a scientist would go about setting up a double-blind trial or trials to prove them (and how they would find sufficient subjects to do so) 3) Why the lack of a "peer reviewed scientific paper" about a particular issue should affect its credibility?

Yes. And btw I have a scientific background, so please don't treat me as if I am completely stupid. And as regards Rescue Remedy, the first time I used it somebody else gave it to me and I had absolutely no idea what it was at the time, but it worked immediately.

rendelharris Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > I genuinely do not see how anyone can read that > and not ignore/ridicule it. That is presumably because you are not sensitive to subtle energies (or possibly you are, but would be horrified to find that out :)) ). As I said previously, like a colour blind person ridiculing people who claim to be able to see colour.

A protest vote. About potatoes. OK ...... And then there was the young woman I saw interviewed who said she voted for Brexit because it sounded like Biscuit.

ETA: It isn't like other Bach flower remedies where you may be using them over a relatively long period of time, and probably combined with others, when yes you would dilute them in water.

Agreed.

Erm, yes they do. And they make it very clear. But you can also put all the comments you want to in the very last question right at the end.
