That which cures all (mental) ills. Andy Kadir-Buxton claims to have found a simple cure-all for mental illness, namely boxing someone in the ears. He also claims to have a cure for infertility in women and a solution to the energy crisis/global warming.
"While this might seem like an elaborate party trick, you should then ask yourself what this invention would be worth to the medical profession and pharmaceutical industry."

I trust that you will take the opportunity to evaluate the Kadir-Buxton Method and use it extensively.
And if at first you don't succeed...

All blockages that I have found have been dead bacteria, or sometimes lemonade which is a result of a country wide practice of lesbians at Universities.
I have found that these blockages can also be caused by balding, psycho fuckmops who have internet access. WTF???

If his cure for mental illness is a punch in the head, I'm really scared of what the infertility treatment is.

EG: All right! Finally some action!
MASTER: Observe closely, class. Boot to the Head! (SH-ZOOMP!)
And...
Lawyer: Ah but still, you are my sister, you have both admired my Royles Royce, and since I no longer need it...
Jenny: Oh dear Arthur, he's too kind!
Ah, The Frantics... that is some classic stuff right there.

It should be noted that this fellow distinguishes his method from a simple punch to the face.
"With the Kadir-Buxton Method, a patient standing on one leg whilst holding a rose would still be standing on one leg and holding a rose when they were cured. With a punch, the patient would be lying prone on the floor, and could well have dropped the rose. And just to add insult to injury, they would still be mentally ill. Try it for yourselves if you do not believe me."
Personally, I think he could avoid any criticism if instead of a method he developed... a manoeuver.

I'm really disappointed that there are no diagrams of how exactly to unblock the Fallopian tubes. Am I supposed to palpate them through the walls of the uterus, or do I just stick a finger down them?
After getting my fist through a nulliparous cervix, the latter should be no problem.

Lemonade blocking the fallopian tubes? First of all, how? And why does that have anything to do with lesbians in college? I'm so confused my head hurts. And...BALL BEARINGS? He said ball bearings. Why? What are the ball bearings doing up there?

The Kadir-Buxton Method is done by making a fist of both hands, and striking both ears of the patient at exactly the same time and pressure with the soft part of the inner hand which is where the thumb joins the hand.
That is how my deaf friend's hearing were destroyed when she was a child. And squeezing fallopian tubes? wtf? The truly tragic thing is I know a few idiots who would try this guy's ideas. The more I read, the more I think he must be taken out before he causes harm.

Yes, boxing someone on the ears is pretty dangerous in that the sudden increase in air pressure can rupture the ear drums. So yes, this is a very, very bad idea.

A kick in the ribs will revive the dead.
Although there's a caveat:
Finally, the patient should be taken to hospital as soon as possible as there is a reason for them dying in the first place, which should be treated.

According to the man himself, here are the prescriptions. Dosages are in BTTH (Boots to the Head)
Sexual abuse and eating disorders: 3 BTTH
Rape victims: 2 BTTH
Paedophiles: 2 BTTH
Victims of paedophiles: 2 BTTH before the trial, 1 BTTH after the trial (in order to be able to testify, of course)
Psycopathic disorder: 3 BTTH
Alcoholics: 3 BTTH
Drug Addicts: 3 BTTH
Also, because one can apparently reverse these effects through hypnosis, one must think of how much one likes hypnosis during the application of one BTTH in order to be cured of the desire to have hypnosis.
