A few weeks ago I got the flu and went to see my doctor. She wasn't in so I got sent to a substitute who examined my ear with a weird beeping device. I asked her what it was and she just said that she practices "Chinese medicine".
She told me her device indicated that I have huge problems with my thyroid and she said I should get some sort of crystal necklace that's good for that and that I should apply some essential oils daily. Of course, she happened to sell those at a good price.
I went to have a blood test and my thyroid was fine, my values were right in the middle of the acceptable range.
