reflexology

The idiocy that prevails in UK local government never ceases to depress me. I'm sure that attention to just about any part of the body would positively affect these adolescent attention-seekers. What a bunch of woo artists Bud Umbrella is - and what on earth does that name mean?

I have a 9 mo. old son and am constantly bombarded with junk mail for baby products. I recently got a flier for Huggies diapers that always includes some age-appropriate activities for one's baby. This month's issue had a section on foot reflexology for your baby! They list three zones: The...

For $19.95, this product claims to remove the toxins from your body though the soles of your feet,while you sleep.

Hello all. . Last week I was given a reflexology massage by a friend of mine who is taking a course in holistic therapy at a local college. Despite being a skeptic, with reflexology normally consigned to my mental file marked bunkum, I agreed to be a case study to help her out (the fact that a...

Ugh, had to visit the college health centre today so I could be examined before an exam - I had the most fortunate good luck to decide to have a particularly nasty throat inflammation before my first exam. Whilst filling out forms and such, previous history and the like, I noticed there was a...

Hello all. Just signed up and this is my first post. I have a question that I could use some help with. I emailed the folks at Skeptics Guide and Skeptoid and Dr. Dunning suggested I go here. Anyway, here's a copy of the email: I live in a small (pop. 4,000ish) town in Iowa. About two years...

My girlfriend just received a book on reflexolog from her mother. Being the skeptic I am, I decided to read through it and see what the other side was saying. Well, the book didn't say anything about 'energy' or 'chi', and was half taken up with pictures on how to do specific things (which...

I notice that the reflexology webpage linked from Randi's commentary has a forum also. My mouth waters at the possibilities.
