People taking their needed medication aren’t at fault for the predatory systems that control distribution and pricing. The blame falls on the institutions that fail us, not on the properly medicated.
The research in question here obviously isn’t pubmed or publishing journals but boomer Facebook memes, “holistic” mommy bloggers and at least a few nazis in a trench coat pretending to be a doctor
If by “do your own research” you mean “read the studies” then by all means, go ahead. If, and I guess that’ll be the case for 99% of people without related degrees, you can’t understand them you should accept that you’re in no way equipped to do your own research.
I can only assume from this comment that you’re American. In countries with nationalised healthcare, our medical professionals don’t profit at all from selling medication; they prescribe medication because it is what their patients need. America might have a profit-driven healthcare system but don’t assume that every country does.
If the options are between being me with some help from hundreds of thousands of scientists with the backing of society, or being froghorse. I’ll choose the former.
It’s insane takes like this that make the least capable of us doubt getting help.
Do you eat food? Do you drive over bridges? Do you go to the hospital to get your bones set? Use electricity to heat or cool your home? Fortified food so you don’t die from goiter or scurvy?
Congrats, you’re relying on completely unnatural things to help you get through life easier. There is ZERO difference between the former and medications. Entire industries are built around them.
Unfortunately, people like froghorse are nothing new and they probably won’t be going anywhere. They are the manifestation of societal ennui and lack of empathy. They prefer their false reality over the one we’re forced to share with them.
The relevant medical science is obscured behind a veil of esoterica and complexity
Just because you cannot understand something does not make it false lmfao.
Complex things are complex. Some of them cannot be dumbed down. It’s the entire, literal point, to civilization. Specialization.
And of all the things you want to complain about not knowing, is medications? So many of the metabolic pathways are heavily described and detailed. Very little of it requires intricate knowledge of biomechanica or biochemistry.
The rest of it is LITERALLY missing link versions of what people classically know about evolution. We know
A >>>> G
That doesn’t mean magic happens between B, C, D, E, and F. It means biology is fucking stupid because evolution at it’s core is based on entropy lol. It takes forever to learn why and what stupid mechanics do what.
Considering what a sorry state my brain’s in I’d gladly rent it to someone more qualified to deal with its bullshit. I don’t see your point. If not for big pharma I’d be dead a long time ago.

Thanks.
I fucking wish rent was as cheap as my pills.
Easy, just be born in a wealthy land-owning family … oh yea… about that…, why don’t you try for a better spawn next time around, eh? 😔
Let me guess, you’re one of those cretins that think that clinical depression is when you feel sad sometimes?

It’s either antidepressants, alcohol, or not-so-legal drugs. 😥
We are all slaves one way or another.
