PSA: Chiropractors aren't doctors, they aren't better than any other "alternative" healer and at worse are conmen and can fuck you up permanently. Don't ever go to chiropractors.

MODERATORS
Just to add - Physical Therapist is what you call someone that deals with the same things, but has y’know a medical license to practice these things.
Kinésithérapeute in french (the good one).
Ostheopathe in french (the quack one).
N'est-ce pas un chiropraticien ou chiropracteur ?
Osteopaths and chiropractors are slightly different kinds of liars.
Osteopathic Medicine in the US is legit though, they go through basically the same training as MDs. There's some philosophical differences but osteopathic doctors are actually doctors.
This is true. For this reason, US doctors of osteopathic medicine generally don't like to be called "osteopaths", to avoid being associated with their pseudoscientist counterparts.
In English be warned though, osteopaths (at least in America) are real doctors just from a med school that took a different path to get to more or less the same place of evidence based medicine. D.O.s are more or less indistinguishable from M.D.s
Spanish:
Fisioterapeuta (the good one) Quiropráctico (the bad one)
My PT referred me to a chiropractor colleague of his, back when I didn't know what a chiropractor was...
There's a word for that, too.
Corruption.
I'm a paramedic. I had two patients in my fifteen year career who experienced a broken spine from a chiropractor (different chiropractors), which is more than I saw some rare conditions like Steven Johnson Syndrome (antibiotic reaction that causes immune system burns) and cavernous sinus thrombosis (caused the lady's eye to pop out of her head). Also dated a girl whose mom worked for a chiropractor, the guy constantly insisted he could cure- not treat, cure- type 1 diabetes with vitamins and spinal adjustment.
At least a lot of other woo woo healers are just without effect. Chiropractors are actively dangerous with what they are doing.
You would think that. Especially with Homeopathic nonsense with diluting things with water until none of the molecules of the original substance are present.
You'd think that an aspiring Homeopath conman would just start with purified water, and call it a day.
That's not what happens. Instead they seem to actually use the highly toxic whatever, usually deadly nightshade, and then skip the water dilution.
Look up the Highlands baby teething chews if you like being sad.
It's nothing more than a high risk massage.
Radon is a radioactive but largely chemically inert gas that is generated by radioactive decay in rocks in the Earth. Eventually it escapes the rocks, but it's heavier than air and so tends to gather in basements and caves where it can theoretically suffocate people, but is more likely to give those people cancer instead.
Yes, Elohim is plural. God is multitudinous and thus worthy of the title, but also one single god dont you dare worship any other ~angry noises and fist shaking~
Elohim derives from El, the chief god in the Canaanite pantheon, and the father of other gods (such as Baal and Yahweh). El also appeared in the religions of many neighboring societies in the near east.
In Canaanite societies and in Hebrew, the name El became genericised, so the name could be used as a title for any god or for god powers in general.

In terms of the Hebrew Bible, it's more like different parts were written by different people at different times, with various views on polytheism, henotheism, and monotheism. Elohim is grammatically plural, and in some places it is used as a plural to refer to multiple deities. In other places it agrees with singular forms, similar to "royal we", or it becomes an abstract term for divinity as a concept.
"How's it going?"

"Living the dream!"
The dream:
Radon is just a fancy name for any atom that has 86 protons. It's a noble gas where every isotope is radioactive (this means it doesn't react but it does spontaneously change into a different element). It's a concern because it's heavier than air, can be produced in the soil, radioactive, and doesn't bond to anything.
If you don't find this relatable please tell me your secret
I would but the lizard people controlling the Illuminati on there moon base from the year 420666 would wipe me from this timeline.
I'm surprised he could unclench his jaw enough to speak.
This guy's timeline seems a lot cooler than mine
