Why do we so eagerly take to woo?

[ananda]

40. Well, there are three hot-button words in your title.

"We" -- who is "we" exactly and how many we's are there.. exactly?

"eagerly" -- Is that a fact on the ground, or an asserted opinion with
a bias?

"woo" -- Is that an objectifiable, verifiable scientific construct or just
another opinion with a bias?

I see something of an attempt to poison the well against certain beliefs
and practices that some might find useful or helpful.

A lot of people, including myself, do very well with alternative energy
and healing practices. I have found chiropractics very helpful, along
with the ER4YT diet formed by a naturopathic doctor. Also, I sometimes
find energy healing helpful, that associated with massage and breathwork
particularly. Of course, that is not to say that I (or "we&quot don't also use
allopathic doctors and practices as well.

My philosophy has always been to do my own thinking and try everything
I feel like trying. I particularly like the doctors here in town who think the
same way.
