Every time I talk to someone that’s on a stack of meds or has gone through multiple journeys using modern medicine they always seem to be the most unhealthy people. It seems like a chicken or egg problem, and maybe it’s just confirmation bias but i much prefer natural remedies. These people seem to be constantly fighting side effects. Too many unknowns when it comes to highly concentrated exotic chemical solutions.
- modeless 3y agoNatural remedies like... taking small doses of the thing you're allergic to in order to desensitize yourself? Because that's what the immunotherapy I'm talking about is. Not "exotic chemical solutions".
- namaria 3y agoIt's always the people who decry medicines, i.e. highly pure, intensely tested dosages of chemicals, as "exotic chemicals" while in the same breath advancing "natural medicines", i.e. wildly variable dosages of hundreds of random molecules. Some people seem to think "chemical" is something artificial and bad while "natural" is somehow a rainbow of goodness and not the result of insanely complicated biochemistry.
- namaria 3y agoConcluding medicine = bad because it's always the sickest people who are on the most meds is basically a caricature of bad logic. I refuse to believe this isn't satire.
