Bamboo realized your belief in its power and is doing the necessary to help you.

Answer 2

No. It means it's just bamboo.

Answer 3

My interest in health fraud and quackery was stimulated by some experiences I had as a research assistant on a multiple sclerosis study. I was responsible for patient screening and recruitment and was amazed to see how many patients had been robbed by quacks or had tried "alternative treatments" during the course of their illness. On the one hand, some of these more "benign" treatments (yoga, different kinds of diet fads, etc) seemed to have a positive affect in terms of increasing a patient's "feeling in control" of their illness and its management. Sadly, it was more common for patients to become extremely depressed and demoralized when the latest fad "didn't work." It's my opinion that most Americans with chronic illnesses do believe that "something is missing" from conventional/orthodox western medicine. Still, I believe that most alternative medical practitioners cynically manipulate these kind of patients and only provide a cheap substitute for the "missing something."David Russo

There is a similar field of belief associated with the need to believe in aliens coming to our rescue.

Answer 4

How does the bamboo take your illness away?  I mean, how does it actually obtain it?  Then once it has it, what does it do with it?

I heard they're hard to keep alive.  I've had a stalk of bamboo for a few years now.  The d**n thing won't die.

Answer 5

It means you have a brown thumb.Don't feel bad,I have one too.Spider plants are good for people like us.All plants are healthy.They give off Oxygen and take in CO2.Thank Mother Nature,not the mystical.

Answer 6

They do bring health to Panda bears.

Perhaps you need to study the conditions under which bamboo stalks grow, you are probably doing something wrong.

The bamboo will not take your illness away, I am not sure on your logic here. Bamboo is a plant, not a doctor.
