My notes: Alternative medicine has been around a lot longer than Big Pharma. Only reasons people don't like it is 1- bigwigs can't get rich off of it, 2- they do work slower. People want it Now.

Of course natural medicines are scientific. Plants have chemicals in them just as much as a lab-produced pill. Not to mention, who solves a cold or flu with surgery in the first place? A lot of old medicines worked because the plants you would eat were literal poison. The part that worked is it killed the illness faster than it killed you, and you were allowed to stop poisoning yourself. The idea that science and holistic healing are opposites is completely false. I completely agree that pharmaceutical companies care more about money than lives, just look at how much insulin costs. But the answer to that isnt to give diabetics a home remedy, the answer is to destroy the system that values money over human life. We can't ignore that there's dozens of Multi Level Marketing pseudocults based around holistic healing as well, and the people who falsely claim that eating specific diets can cure things like autism and schizophrenia which is quite literally impossible and only exists to fuel ableist beliefs that autistic people would be better off not existing. The focus, I feel, needs to be on having the Pure Science freely available so that people are able to live. Cancer treatments and insulin, things that herbs can't cure nomatter how much I wish they could, should be free. Then everyone would have complete freedom to go for a more natural approach. Science and the holistic should work together. We can't discredit science, because thats how you get chicken pox making a rise again, and you can't discredit the holistic because the holistic is where scientific medicine came from in the first place I hope this isn't too all over the place to understand, my brain jumps around too much <3
