I'm sure nobody is saying that it isn't worth trying if there's no risks. It's just that for a lot of therapies that aren't studied, we haven't really figured out what the adverse effects are. Like, look at homeopathy. At it's surface, the theory behind using natural "things" at different doses causing either therapeutic or toxic effects isn't really wrong. In fact, it's probably our foundation for pharmacology. But telling someone that it's probably safe to take x amount of something that hasn't undergone any clinical trials for toxic or side effects doesn't sit well with me. Of course, I'm also assuming that these clinical trials are rigorous and transparent.
