    Perhaps laudanum deserves a comeback, along with bacteriophages, which would be an excellent complement to antibiotics.

    Just today, I found out my prostate biopsy was benign! Also four years cancer free, and I still have my bladder.

    I owe it all to Jeezus and alternative medicine, oh wait no, it was FUCKING SCIENCE.

    There’s no reason any of these drugs should be illegal, we managed to survive and flourish for centuries with no “war on drugs”.

    Think of the millions imprisoned and murdered over this war and the drug trade it creates.

    Lobotomies seem kind of harsh, I do not support.

    Oh, please. Nobody needs cough syrup when you could instead be drinking radium as an ailment cure-all.

      Good chloroform is hard to come by, but otherwise it’d be pretty easy to make your own syrup. The formula is right on the label!

    Anybody that goes to the doctors after seeing the crazy shit they do is insane. Scam profession. Worse because they do active harm.

      This is what snake oil salesmen say to get people to re direct their health spending to snake oil.

      Since they’re unregulated scam artists, there is no regulatory body that you can appeal to in regards to negligence and malpractice on their part.

      In summary, the goal is to redirect spending, as opposed to wanting better outcomes for patients.

      I usually don’t scope someone’s history because of one bad comment, but yeesh. You’ve been here for one day and it’s just about 100% bad.

      I feel like people go too much into extremes either way.

      arguments

      I see very shitty things some doctors do. There’s no denying the lobbying of big pharma on doctors, and just a bunch of so much other stuff. And I see very shitty alternative/natural medicine trends that are absolutely baseless and result in neglect of the issue is or making things worse. The wellness industry is the next big pharma.

      There are people who’ve gone to multiple professionals that all couldn’t help them but yoga made all the difference. But on the flip side, good luck if you want to live your life without vaccines, diabetic medication, cancer medication, antibiotics etc. or wholesale taking advice from random places rather than from people who are dedicated to this subject and field in an evidence and experience based approach.
