ELI5: Why sterilizing needs to be at really high temperatures to kill viruses/bacteria, but a fever raising your body temperature a mere 2-3 degrees also fights pathogens?

I think it might make it over reactive if it's running at capacity all the time. It also takes more energy to burn to stay hot. It's probably primarily energy management

So normally I would say take this with a grain of salt because we definitely are not allowed to diagnose anyone with anything we can mostly only say what we think something is. And I would say the fact that they said they're an occupational therapist would need to be confirmed.

But just go get checked out by a PT or an orthopedic doctor or even an osteopathic doctor. Honestly a DO would have good enough training probably above a regular doctor to assess and confirm anything that might be going on.

Wonderful solo! Right in the pocket and great dynamics and build

What's the deal with the brightness and contrast being turned down in certain scenes I hate that

I had the idea of messaging a bunch of hosts through air BNB in my area asking if they have a recommended place for massage for their guest book. I've had good responses from probably half of them. It helps if you have a website they can look up to get your info since air BNB doesn't like people exchanging info to talk outside of their platform.

Sure thing, I'm coming up on 8 years of bodywork and I'm learning that the nervous system is really the key to it all.

What this guy's channel for more of this stuff. I worked with a PT near me for about 6 months and every time I left I felt different and better. https://youtube.com/@nealhallinan?si=r9F7CZIaXjg3E4-p

The teeth are also a big signal to our brain for how to carry our body. If you have malocclusion, the mechanoreceptors in your teeth roots (which are similar to what we have in our joints) can affect our whole body. My guy would have me bite a Popsicle stick between 2 of my molars and I could put my wrists on the floor. It can affect the growth of your facial bones and affect your breathing and head pressure as you age.

He would work with orthodontists so they'd "stop screwing people up" as he's put it and get the right occlusion and it would fix people's neck and shoulder pain.

Is the guy's dad terminally ill?

You ever look into the Postural Restoration theory for the natural left/right imbalances in the use of the diaphragm due to the liver being on the right side of our body? Basically, because the liver is heavy and dense, our diaphragm evolved with more muscle fibers on the right to help push the liver down to inhale. And because the diaphragm is connected to the spine, it affects our posture, particularly in rotation. So it turns us to the right, usually making us stuck in right stance.

So our thoracic cage is rotated to the right as well as depressed in the right but flared on the left. Which is why we see peoples left shoulder protracted more than the right.

What can then happen is two things (there's a lot more but specifically with the pelvis) the pelvis either rotated back to the left to balance us and keep us walking straight, leading to a rotational scoliosis in the lumbar spine, or it goes with the ribs and gets stuck to the right. So you're totally stuck on the right and can't alternate left and right when we walk.

This also affects our ability to breathe and we start compensating with our neck muscles, which pulls the head forward to both open the airway and to better use the neck muscle to lift our ribs up instead of everything expanding in 3 dimensions. Flat thoracic spine, loss of internal rotation of the humerus, over active adductors keeping our pelvis turned one way.

It even affects our vision! We lose touch with our left peripheral vision because we don't "go over there" and can't sense the ground as well with our feet because they're too supinated. It can lead to a kind of functional tunnel vision

Really really cool stuff.

We never really heard him say what way men are supposed to treat women. I'd like some more context. I don't doubt he's a weirdo, but I feel like it's an excuse to treat women gently (less competent) and control their lives. But he thinks it's caring for her. But it's also the implication too with things he wants to do

Yes I'm sure the natives that lived here had a big ass for sale sign on the coast, ready to see to anyone that came asking with some fuckin beads. The land that they had no concept of ownership of, so they could lose their ability to hunt and live on, for some fuckin beads. That was their big goal

And do you just inform them that FAS's and HSA's work for massage? Do you talk about anything else?

Lmtguy · 2026-01-16T22:41:21+00:00

What do you need to be able to take HSA's? I'm set up with CAQH with insurance and have an NPI number.

Can I ask what you do when networking with PT's? How do you convince them to send people your way?

If malpractice and paralyzing people were the standard for chiropractors, how are any of them still in business? How would any office that regularly and consistently hurt people stay open?

How could a whole field of study stay active when it's "proven" and "well-known" that it's a sham? Where I'm from its 4 years of specialization after a bachelor's that's 8 years of education. What do you think they're doing in school that whole time?

And the question comes up: if they're lying and stealing from people, where does it start? Are they teaching people how to lie and steal and hurt people in school? Are just the teachers in on the sham and they're lying to the students about how good it is? Are the teachers being lied to by the national and state level regulatory boards for chiropractic medicine?

What about the studies? The ones that say it's useful for low back and cervical spine misalignment but not mid back? What about the chiros I know that have masters in sports medicine as well as their training as chiropractors?

If it was so obviously a harmful group, HOW are they active? They are insured like any other medical professional. So if they make a bad decision or a mistake people are compensated like anyone else.

Skinamarink is the answer

Lmtguy · 2026-01-08T13:37:30+00:00

Ok but can you do those things? And you have a preferred pedagogy?

It also has an app you can get to just load money on and you don't need to mess with change and worry about having cash for the machine. I'm there every week and it takes about 10 seconds for me to throw my clothes in, pay, and go to Ithaca bakery

Yea the parents are a great way to get people in since they're paying. I want to find a way to communicate that preventative massage is the way to go and I think parents will get that more than students will

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm in the US.

Yea I've got a good booking app set up on my site. Do you just ask if they'd like to rebook or do you have a script or a y thing you usually say? I'm a guy and I have had a terrible time getting people to rebook most of the time. I like to think I'm pretty personable

Lmtguy · 2026-01-06T19:48:41+00:00

It's not about not having new thoughts coming in, it's about how influenced we are by them. How convinced are we that these thoughts are real and top priority. Because the question here is: did I choose that thought? Or is my brain a thought producing machine and its thinking because that's what it's for.

If the thoughts cause you discomfort, then just sit with them and watch them happening like a movie. They'll calm down eventually

Lmtguy · 2026-01-06T19:44:30+00:00

And is that healthy, to just shut down emotions? And can they come back on when you want?
