I certainly agree with the point that modern diets and modern medicine have many advantages over the paleo/antiquity ones, though I don't deny that there may be some downsides to it also (in some cases). But I think some people go a little overboard with this "natural is always better" by taking all these herbals, natural treatments, leaves, plants, and all that stuff and then tell everyone else that those things are somehow better than today's medicine. Of course, it's alright with me if they want to do that, because maybe that is something like a hobby for them and they feel safer by taking more "natural" stuff, but I don't believe that they are necessarily always better.
One example is that many people in parts of Asia even drink their own piss as an alternative medicine for things like the common cold, high blood pressure, constipation, cancer, and for many other things, and some of them think that the urine is the ultimate fountain of youth because of it's so-called "therapeutic" effects.

Even I myself drank my own urine for a few days after reading about that in some websites that I came across. But, now, I don't believe that anymore. It is simply false, and nasty.

Quote:Advocates of auto-urine therapy believe that this combination can help cure everything from the common cold to cancer, boosting energy levels and sexual performance along the way. While the practice has always been popular in China, India and South-east Asia, a small but growing band of Western fans are also downing a daily dose. Books with titles such as The Golden Fountain all extol the virtues of urine.
