Oh non-existent lord give me strength.
My aunt who is an RN is now a naturopathic homeopathic pyramid scheme smuck.
I posted about how this new medicine gave me RLS. Suddenly she's linking me to veggies that counter RLS and teas and essential oils.
Did you know THE SUICIDE DISEASE could be COMPLETELY CURED BY SNAP PEAS AND CHAMOMILE TEA WITH PEPPERMINT OIL?!?
and now she wants me to get a Himalayan salt lamp. To positively charge my body so I can heal.
Like yeah I'm all for eating healthy and cutting sugar and shit. Hell I like Himalayan salt shit. But this is no replacement for actual healthcare. Essential oils do not cure cancer.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I notice a lot of people like to tout clean eating, no pesticides, organic lotions, clothes, soaps, etc. That's all fine and dandy, but when you're under medical care, most of us, I imagine, don't have the money to spare to spend on all of that.
I do believe it's best for our bodies to be clean, but not enough to cure every disease known to man. That could also be the placebo effect. I know I feel skinnier when I do one day of treadmill!
It just irks me when people so matter of factly say you'd be cured if you'd drink/eat/bathe/wash/clean with this super expensive thing/diet. Ok, not so easy!

Right? Like, people ate clean and organic in the 1700s and they lived to the ripe old age of died in childbirth.
Eating clean is great, but it is no replacement for proper medical care
Salt lamps are pretty but can be toxic to cats.
That tea would be terrible.
Your poor Auntie's cheese done slid off her cracker... Love her anyway.
Should a miracle occur pick the most foul tea in the world and tell her that cured you! ?
Maybe do that now anyway? Just for fun. I can probably source a name?
