Hacker news is full of pseudo science lately, all sorts of anecdotal medical advice keeps popping up on the front page.

  Unfortunately being good at computers doesn’t make you good at recognising BS.

    And you don't even have to be good with computers to read Hacker News...

  In case you haven't noticed, in medicine there are some conditions for which no one-size-fits all cure exists. I happen to suffer from chronic sinusitis since my youth and am actually trying this right now, even if I only see a slim chance that it will work (tried about 10 doctors in the last 30 years, had operations, nasal showers, cortisone, etc.). Btw, did you know that a digital rectal massage can terminate chronic hickups? Look it up, it won an ig Nobel prize.
