Re: Weird things you judge people for?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT--Yeah, I have a coworker who's chiropractor told her not to trust her regular doctor "because he just wants your money," and I kind of boggled and asked "So they work for free, then?" This same coworker has made herself sick taking alternative treatments that interact badly, or thinking that more=better and disregarding dosage information/being unaware that it's even possible to OD on herbal meds, and in at least one case, taking supplements of something she's allergic to because obviously swallowing something that makes her swell up and get a rash when she touches it is perfectly safe.

Basically, herbal/alternative does not equal safe, a medicine in the wrong dose becomes poison, even if you picked, dried, and made a tisane of something from your own garden. And people who don't research drug interactions/mention herbal supplements they're taking to their doctor are asking for trouble.

That's so sad, and I'm sorry. But yes, this sort of thing happens a lot because people think that natural = better, even if they don't have any evidence to support this theory.

It's kind of ridiculous how people think if it's "natural"/herbal, not only must it be safe, but also you must not need any training to use it. Before modern medicine, you still went to people who'd studied this stuff for most of their lives. They weren't always right themselves, but Mabel the Herbalist was still considered to have a better chance of getting it right than Mildred Who Found A Plant in the Woods and Thinks it Looks Like that Thing Mabel Gave Her that One Time.
