Decades ago, long before explosive science, we used to talk about natural medicine, which long ago was herbs, either tinctures or capsules and other body health promotion things. "Synthetics" were patented antibiotics, antimalarials used for Babesia.
In what is likely the best depression book for a decade, we show how this 1970's natural / synthetic worth simply is too basic.
Both engaged in oversell but likely due to passion. I see "everyone's" failures and a good doctor buddy says she sees the same.
Years ago. I was putting my toe in the water defending the reasonableness of a herb to be considered of use with weight along with a few former editors of JAMA. And published 2 advanced herbal books for Babesia, malaria and Bartonella, Babesia and Lyme. Nothing else exists unless you want to take a month of free time or replace one with nothing similar.
Years ago. a number of good doctors retired from treating Bartonella, and the co-infections Babesia and Lyme. I explored why.
"Tired of being attacked by agencies, peers and patients."
I got it as I was looking at some #1 books we have done. EU and USA. And my wife, kids and I asked "Was it worth it? To dump every single penny into some that devalue it?
Some patients and even healers want solutions like a recipe. And get mad if you actually do not provide it.
And folks do not realize that I know doctors that are destroyed forever by the "RECIPE" CROWD. Take this thing, 2 x 4 a day and that "cures." Really? That almost killed my family.
And the thinking types that read more than typical docs? They are "uppity doctors!"
"You are no one even though you have studied this 200x me!"
"Color inside my lines. Listen to me! Listen to our 16 pseudo-experts who will testify against you before boards or in malpractice cases!"
So amazing healers who have died for Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella patients? Some have no job. No license. No income from outrageously expensive education, lawyer/insurance determined malpractice, and seeking a new career as older doctors.
The standards for proving Babesia and Bartonella and Lyme are extreme, freakish, and show their infection "experts" who think studying 1000 infections makes you master of ten. They actually promote things that are deadly. Decades old. Useless.
And they are decades behind, so after they are dead they are still outdated.
What do you learn about these in medical school? 90 seconds.
What about internship, residency and infection fellowship? An hour of the party line. Yawn. Boring. Useless.
I have been getting ill folks previously "Cured" with one size fits all 10-30 day medicines for Babesia, Bartonella and Lyme/Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever treatment. In the latter three they literally ignore the massive slime biofilm layer. Totally.
And everyone has just one infection, as if tick saliva and cuts are the home of Mr. Bleach.
If you do not agree with them. Or are not as lazy learners as them. If you cannot take seriously the idea of a "President Lyme" or "Pope Bartonella," they think you are opposing science. Wow.
True science has humility, curiosity and exploration. Something missing in this area for decades.
