Study was done in mice, and it relies on massaging specific lymph nodes which are easily accessible for massage (sounds like most of the lymph nodes related to the brain-flushing mechanism are too deep in the neck to really get at).

Super curious if/where humans have analogues.

Because you don’t want her giving you a face massage so you can take a brain poop? Gonna need some further explanation, chief.

Instructions unclear, snapped my neck.

note: do not attempt if you’re a chiropractor

Chiropractics is brain waste in itself.

But it could make your back feel better for a day or two. Why address the cause when we can just temporarily fix the symptoms?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Most of what they do is just placebo, recently read somewhere about it not even reliefing issues but the noise making people feel better for a short while.

I'm a slab of meat, rubbing my meat to relax my meat. This biomass is relaxed

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

I also enjoy rubbing my meat

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Not working. I still have a lot of waste in my brain.
