alternative medicine 

going to some indian ayurveda alternative medicine person next week who's gonna give me some new diet to try out for my digestion issues, and honestly? i'm kind of excited even if a bit skeptical

it's been a long time since i've started on some new trying-to-better-my-flimsy-health adventure

ph-, re: alternative medicine 

i've been on her weird diet for two weeks, and been taking her weird pills and weird potion thing for one week, and so far there's no noticeable difference

if there's no improvement by the next time i see her (at the end of the month), i'll probably cancel the appointment so i don't have to keep paying for something that doesn't work

alternative medicine, covid bullshit 

also she is a grade a charlatan. told me not to get my covid vaccine booster shot (which i went and got anyway) -- because she claims it might cause my autoimmune issues to worsen "and then it'll be really difficult to get you out of it! but if you get covid? i can get you out of that really easily!" actual quote.

she literally claimed she can cure covid using herbs and diet. covid. a disease that humanity has known for less than two years. but she already knows what the cure is. yeah. right. 🙄🙄🙄

ph+ re: alternative medicine, covid bullshit 

she's such a bullshit-spewing charlatan on the one hand - but her diet+pills actually work for me, and my stomach hasn't been this neutral/ok/calm since like 2013
