AI Thread Summary
A chiropractor in Columbus, Ohio, named Burda claims to treat injuries by "traveling back in time" to when they occurred, offering a service he calls "Bahlaqeem." This treatment is marketed as a long-distance healing method that can be performed without the patient visiting his office, for a fee of $60. Burda describes the term "Bahlaqeem" as a made-up word with no established meaning, yet he asserts it has a soothing vibrational influence. The discussion highlights skepticism about the legitimacy of such treatments, with participants questioning how Burda can profit if he claims to erase injuries from existence. Some suggest that his approach resembles ancient shamanic techniques, while others mock the concept, equating it to absurdity. The thread also touches on the broader implications of alternative healing practices and the potential for exploitation in the health industry. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of humor, disbelief, and critique regarding unconventional medical claims.

Oh brother. :rolleyes:

"COLUMBUS, Ohio - A chiropractor who claims he can treat anyone by reaching back in time to when an injury occurred has attracted the attention of state regulators.

My foot hurt and, knowing anatomy, I went ahead and I told it to realign and my pain went away," Burda said Thursday.

Burda calls his treatment "Bahlaqeem."

"It is a made-up word and, to my knowledge, has no known meaning except for this intended purpose. It does, however, have a soothing vibrational influence and contains the very special number of nine letters," Burda's Web site says."

The Web site describes the treatment as "a long-distance healing service (not a product) to help increase the quality of your life that can be performed in the privacy of your home or other personal space. There is no need to come to my office."

That's right. You don't even need to come into his office for him to treat you! He'll travel back in time and treat your nascent injury while you go on about your busy day. All you have to do is send him a check for $60.

Actually it's free if it works.He fixes you injury and you'll never have to ask anyone to fix your back so you never need it fixed and you will never have to ask travell back into time to fix your back so you'll never have to give $60.

So, if he goes back in time and you never have the injury, meaning you never go to his office to get your pan healed, meaning he never gets payed, how does he make money...?

Because anyone insane enough to use someone like this wouldn't have enough of a grasp on reality to not pay.
 
The treatment sounds about as legitimate as some people's claims of injuries are, so I guess as long as he only treats the hypochondriacs, it's a good arrangement. :rolleyes:
 
I think I am going to start a "preventative" medical site. I will travel into the future and prevent people from getting sick. I think that would be worth a LOT of money.

:smile: Isn't that called health insurance? Pay now and hope you don't get sick later? :biggrin: And, hey, if they do get sick anyway, you can still tell them you prevented that heart attack or car accident, but they didn't pay enough for you to go so far into the future to prevent the cancer, or it was already too late to stop them on that.

Well, you know, you can't cure "everything". But I can make enough money from what I "do" cure to make a suitable living. :smile:

Of course. And if you don't stop them from getting hit by the bus, they're not going to sue you anyway. :devil:

What's interesting, at least mildly, is that he seems to have discovered on his own a very old shamanic technique. Roughly: the shaman goes on an interior journey during which he either literally or symbolically sees the event in the person's past that started their problem. Having done that, he can direct them on what to do to fix it.

Apparently, from the story, he gets a lot of patients. That must indicate this notion makes sense to people in some fundamental way.

When on acid lots of things will make sense in fundamental ways too.

No I just need to find the definition. :smile:

Close enough, but I think "with no chin" also comes into the "definition". :smile:

All hope is lost! My grandad's chyropractor said that even reaching back in time won't do anything for his slipped disk. Or maybe he said he didn't reach his back in time to help... :rolleyes:

Something about this sounds so familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it.
