What?! Uh, no. Seriously, no! She needs to cough up the cash.

 

 

 

But then, have you tried taking 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide 3 times a day? Magic Copper Magnetic Bracelets?  :lol:

I'm speechless....

So many questions arise, but I think the one at the forefront of my mind is: does your friend test these rocks first with a Geiger counter or... well, anything else that actually tests for radiation? (I'm not sure if it's better or worse if he's being scammed into buying non-radioactive rocks, tbh.)

 

Also: The Radium Water Worked Fine Until His Jaw Came Off

It's thought an early Chinese Emperor (the one who had the Terra Cotta Army created) took some sort of concoction to ensure a long and healthy life. Lead?

 

The memory is sketchy, but the short version is he died young probably because he ingested that stuff daily.

 

Makes you think, doesn't it?

The battle continues. I did some work for a lady that was supossed to pay me a hundred dollars. She decided I needed to get healthy more. So instead of paying me she gave me a hundred dollars worth of her health products she sells. Grr add insult to injury one of the products was so old when I opened it it was rancid. I will talk to her about it. I was just too shocked to in the moment.

 

Let me guess... shock therapy?

 

I'd be livid and that's putting it mildly.  If she wanted a trade, that needed to be stated and agreed to BEFORE, not "surprise!"

Return to the lady and tell her "Hey, you took me by surprise the other day when you offered me these products instead of the payment we had agreed on; I felt put on the spot and didn't quite know how to respond. I'm returning the products, I need the payment I did the work for"

 

Hand her the products and wait for cash/check.

I think it was mercury, there were rivers or moats of it with the soldiers. A lot of people applied magical properties to it due to how weird it is compared to a lot of other metals.

 

I live in a home with three disabled adults and we've all heard weird stuff and had rude people convinced they have the answer and we're just not taking care of ourselves if we're disabled and not doing X but it was far worse with the unsolicited advice and judgment when my now 7 year old M was little. M had severe eczema, started showing up on her ears when she was a few days old, at its worst it covered over 3/4ths of her and got repeatedly infected and she got some of the infection under her tiny fingernails, and just...yeah she was a very poorly wee one. For a couple of years she had to wear coveralls and scratchsleeve gloves to protect her and so many people seemed to act like even with the special clothes, all the different emollients and steroids and liquid antihistamines and the hospital specialists we weren't really doing anything unless we tried their special sauce. I even had a paediatrician try to tell us the hospital specialists were wrong and it would all go way if we bathed her with bubble bath to encourage her to enjoy it every night [which is really not recommended for eczema by anyone but this doctor who had a bath obsession] as if her skin was that way because she hates baths or something [which she actually didn't].

 

The weirdest recommendation my partner and I have gotten is that we should paint and redecorate our [rental] laundry area...this will somehow make us feel better and make our disabilities not bother us so much. I seriously had someone who was meant to helping my kids as young carers, one who was being bullied because of it, tell us this. Also, new bed sheets, she came weekly and for over a month she'd ask about bed sheets. She was really odd and really into us getting more stuff. She was really annoyed that we didn't think that would help. 

 

I'm now remembering a theory about this that a disabled friend of mine has. People like to feel in control and like to feel that they are good and do good and some people feel they can completely control their health and stay good/healthy if they just do [whatever] and if people are ill or disabled then they can't be doing whatever or are doing it wrong so the healthy person can pat themself on the back for being good and unconsciously or not blame ill people. A lot of disabled and long-term ill people face a lot of abuse from some of these kinds people and this is one theory as to why so many people dump unsolicited advice on us and why some of them do get really hostile if you're not seen to be trying the right way to get healthy/be good. It makes some sense to me from what we've been through.
