time to stir the potty. i see ouch chapters in America & throughout Europe but none in Asia, Africa, Central or South America. Canadians & Australians post on this mb, but what about the rest of the world? is ouch a blue/hazel eyed, chain-smoking, hard-drinking, big-pored, boys club-with a few women being the exception that proves the rule? does the beast descriminate on the basis of race as well as sex? are there any blacks, aboriginals, indians, orientals, jews, arabs, deni, inupiat ect. out there?
a lack of wealth or infrastructure may explain some of this discrepancy but then where are the posts from Singapore? Hongkong? Korea? Japan? you can't find nations more wired than these places. do they not get clusters &, if so, why not? do they have other treatments? a cure? has anyone checked?
i remember a post from some Japanese woman about passionfruit juice...
are we missing out on networking with 2/3rds of the planet?
for the record, i'm a nearsighted, asthmatic, non-smoking (nearly), non-drinking (nearly), coffee-chuggin',japanese/german/canadian, male (in my opinion anyways) who grew up with natives. my complexion doesn't resemble a micro-waved grapefruit. i'm not very big either, so if i've offended you, you probably can beat the crap out of me.
seriously though, i would love it if a lurking ch'er from another country could enlighten me about any ch knowledge or treatments in their culture.
thank you.
