Non Traditional Medicine

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I ran across a man who saw a connection between Hog's Feed and Curing Mental disorder... Mainly Bipolar 1-2. It seemed interesting and it all started by a Mormon man who had NO degree's in Mental health. At first, I was like.... huh... this man might have something here but once you dug deeper into the video it started to become more and more of a bunch of bull. They interviewed people who had professions in that area of science and most of them agreed it was weird and not proven (obviously) yet there were people who tried it and it worked. He then formulated it into a human form with a bizzilion of pills a day to treat the Bipolar condition. I now see him as a total quack after looking over it... I class it next to those "alternative therapies" to quit smoking. I am suprised that they can sell this kind of jargon in the stores.

Funny enough this particular treatment (hogs feed formulation) ended up on quack watch.

I can see a *few* alternative therapies combined with modern medicine to help but as a cure all? no not at all.

I think supplementing treatments with altermatives is always going to happen and nobody can stop it. Indeed if those supplements are harmless (homeopathy) then really nobody has a problem.

When people start asserting that said supplements have not only a demonstrable physical effect, but an effect that is more efficacious than than an actual medical treatment, that's when we see a problem. Crazy is more infectious than rational and sound of mind, especially when you're physically and emotionally vulnerable from a treatment that is demonstrably proven to work (chemotherapy for example) but can also leave you broken (I've spent more than enough time in an oncology ward. there's nothing more saddening) . Someone coming along and saying that there's an altnernative to the pain, and it's just as good if not better so long as you give me £10k, will always get people tempted.

And it's these people we need to target, expose, and humiliate.
