Tai Chi makes you poop better.

I've been researching various martial arts and according to one site, Tai Chi's deep breathing techniques massage the liver and the intestines and among other things, prevent constipation! :eek:

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but how is this even being discovered? Is there someone out there telling their doctor, "Yeah, doc! Ever since I started doing Tai Chi, I've been shittin' every day!"

It makes me wonder what other miracles of medicine are waiting to be discovered! :)

There was a hiarious book about this or something similar on Amazon. In really badly fragmented English.
But I can't seem to find it again.

Why, this is the Medical Miracles thread. It's where we have a light and zany discussion about odd folk remedies, little known medical knowledge and rather intimate bodily functions.

Later, there will be tacos. :)

I so remember that one! Unfortunately I can't seem to find it again.

This one is kind of funny though: Everyone Poops (by Taro Gomi) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0613685725/ref=pd_sxp_f/104-8972814-4081555?v=glance&s=books).

Well, the title is certainly bound to attract all those immature little people on these forums. As is the username. Any thread started by LG is bound to attract lots of attentions. It's like having a regional advert with the title "Want to see a picture of me naked?", everyone will click on it to be disappointed to find the text "Well, too bad! I don't have one! But while we're here I'd like to invite you to $REGION..." ;)

True.

..Dude..that's an AWESOME advert idea...

Hmm..well, men can get penile implants. From metal beads, to chains of jewelry. One man had beads, some silver chains, a vibrating motor (he had a button subdermally implanted to turn it on/off), a flashing light (was taken out when the battery died, I believe), and some other things put in. You can get silicone ab imblants..tis sad.

Pfft..you just happened to think of it. Someone else would've, eventually. :pYeah, but since I thought of it, it's more awesome than if someone else would have. Since remember, I am uber-cool and the most awesome thing since sliced bread IMHO, and anyone who says anything to the contrary will have to answer to my Awful Long-bladed Sharp-pointed Keen-edged Harrowed Sword of DOOM!!!

That may be a exaggeration LG...I studied Tai Chi for several years, yet I'm still widely credited for being full of shit. ;)

On the other hand, my knee healed nicely.
