Moshe Weisberg, editor of the B’hadrei Haredim ultra-Orthodox news website, says likewise that a closure order of synagogues on Yom Kippur will be widely violated.
He estimated that at least 80% of
the ultra-Orthodox community, including the hassidim and various
extremist factions, have not been obeying social distancing in
synagogues in recent months, and that that figure would climb even
higher on Yom Kippur.
In B’hadrei Haredim’s editorial on Wednesday, the site described a closure of synagogues on Yom Kippur as “a declaration of war on God and his Torah,” and that “thousands of worshipers and synagogue administrators will not comply with such a decision.”

(The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is something like the NIH or FDA in the USA.)
It states that for certain types of chronic pain, Acupuncture works better (more effective) than painkillers.
Another treatment I have seen do wonders for chronic headaches/migraines Is Pulsed Radiofrequency neuromodulation (no hocus pocus, pure bio-physics)
Acupuncture is recommended as an option for some people with chronic primary pain, provided it is delivered within certain, clearly defined parameters.
ReplyDeleteThey also said RE: drugs_
ReplyDelete"while there was little or no evidence that they made any difference to people’s quality of life, pain or psychological distress, there was evidence that they can cause harm, including possible addiction. "
