I wonder if these phthalates are also contributing to the increasing feminization of the male? If you compare pictures of today’s young men to pictures of young men during WW II, the softer faces today jump right out at you. Some of this is probably due to the West, particularly America, having fattened up in the intervening 70 years, but not all. The young men of today just look softer. Maybe the phthalates got ‘em. Maybe all those female hormones in the meat got ‘em. Maybe the Archdruid’s theory is right and people are being reincarnated too fast. Maybe all of the above are right; most things have multiple causes. What do you think?

I am glad to hear you got the attention and help you needed from an acupuncturist. There are things we are trained to pay attention to, and that, really, every single person practicing any modality of medicine should be paying attention to. But attention to the person is the largest casualty (IMHO) of the current, more bureaucratic style of statistic-based medicine. Thankfully, there are still doctors who remember their practice is centred on their patients. But, sadly for them, the costs they face to continue doing so, is increasing daily.
