If “alternative medicine” worked, it would just be called “medicine“.

Im all on the “listen to the medical experts” train. There are however some medicines and treatments that legitimately started as “alternative”. A lot of it is horseshit though. Also modern medicine isn’t infallible(nor the people that practice it). Statistically though, it’s fucking high magic compared to most internet sourced diagnoses.

To be fair this is actually medicine they are taking. Not sure why you would take it recreationally though.

George Carlin from the grave: By calling it an ‘alternative’ you are directly implying that it is not the actual thing.
