Even now there’s very little understanding of how most medicine helps. The foundation of western medicine is mostly “We did this and this (unintended) result happened. Let’s test to see if we can replicate that while uncovering any side effects”
When you start looking at any texts/papers and ask “Yes that’s the result, but why? How?” you’ll find that the majority of the time there simply aren’t any of those answers.
- prirun 3y agoThis reminds me of the latest diabetes drugs that are now being targeted toward weight loss and addiction reduction. It's hilarious to me that they could go through drug trials to test safety and NOT find out that the drugs caused weight loss. They figured that out after people taking the drugs started reporting weight loss, and then the drug manufacturers figured out they could make boatloads on the side effect!
