What I've seen here is a myriad of witch's brews and quackery.

Indeed, thank you.

I try to counter the quackery when I can. Some of it is fairly harmless (e.g. spending twice as much on food labeled organic, even though it is indistinguishable from other food) and I leave that alone. But where quackery can endanger people's lives and even prevent them from seeking medical attention, I step in with real information.

Speaking of endangering people's lives, I've seen articles saying that errors in medical treatment is the third leading cause of death in the US. In addition to that, it appears to me that a large amount of medical care in the form of prescribed medications is aimed at treating symptoms instead of addressing the underlying causes of those symptoms.

The medical industry is programmed to dismiss those lifestyle changes, including reducing consumption of highly-processed food that is low in nutrition, as nothing more than quackery. Maybe it would be better for people to learn how to develop and maintain a healthy immune system than to get in the habit of running off to the doctor for a pill or a shot when they get sick because of a compromised immune system.
