If your symptoms last you can double your intake.

I don't believe in alt medicine, but my brother 's ex-FIL used to treat his cancer by pumping carrot juice up his rear end in the shower each morning with a Fleet enema bottle he kept hanging in the shower stall. His wife is one of those people who starts one failed local business after the last and at that time had a vitamin/supplement shop.

Ask me about my STD collection!
Lately on Paramount+ they've been advertising this medicine that stops you from getting HIV.

It's not for people who already have HIV, and it doesn't stop you from getting any other STD's so you still have to practice safe sex.

I imagine it's probably for people with a partner who has HIV but as they never mention that it just comes across as a really weird drug.

Or maybe it stops HIV people from getting AIDS? I don't know.

My partner's aunt is treating her leukemia with alt medicine BS, going to "doctors" practicing out of their basement and refusing to get chemo so the leukemia clinic refuses to run her numbers for her anymore since she's not seeking serious treatment.

Her husband made the bold claim to me of "Have you ever heard of anyone getting better from chemo?" I didn't want to get into it so kept my mouth shut, but yea, my mom before I was born you rear end in a top hat.

bf is big into Chinese herbal medicine, and takes a small sachet of herbal mix to boost his immune system and forces me to take it when I'm sick. I wonder how much of that stuff is actually effective and how much is just mysticism and placebo effects.

Some of it is basically like that. I was actually pretty surprised by what I found when I looked into the st johns wort my psych gave me.

Like its a fairly effective antidepressant with few side effects but I guess prescribers dont know much about it.

On the flip side it is real medicine and none of the directions on any bottle from any vendor described what my doctor said Id need to do to make it work and Ive seen websites telling people to stack it up with a bunch of other nutritional supplements that will probably send you to the hospital or kill you when used together.

Well if you get a good placebo then its working the concerning thing is that youre ingesting it and have no way of knowing if youre wrecking your body. I have some topical stuff that basically has no way of actually doing anything for half the problems I use it for but it probably cant hurt me and does often make me feel better. It smells weird and takes itself very seriously so at least some part of my body thinks thats good enough.

The guy who published the paper that vitamin C is no good for colds said he would probably still continue to take it.

Peppermint tea is really good.

Tea can be good for a few mild symptoms like sore throat. Sometimes I make just plain honey tea for a sore throat, splash a little milk in and that's it.
