Be kind. Consider that they meant "what people have been trying since the 1970s when health food stores popped up everywhere" when they say "traditional". There is nothing despicable about trying to experiment on your own to cure an ailment. It's a type of hacking
- abledon 10y agoYa thanks, I was referring to 'traditional' style medicine i.e. herbal formulas used by our ancestors rather than modern RX med style stuff.
