Mention Ivermectin and you’ll be denounced as a quack by the MSM, but advocate “balance” between modern and “traditional” medicine and you’ll be celebrated as some sort of hero.
Whitebean and Constant developed a plan, which included an intense healing sweat before Whitebean started chemotherapy. She stayed in contact with Constant through her chemotherapy, but the real traditional healing began once it ended.
And when the western treatment was done, she would “detox” and regain her strength with traditional remedies.
“What we did for Roxann was we had four sweats in four days. Before she went in we made medicine for her to drink, and this medicine is to go into this area where she’s sick, to clean her out from inside,” said Constant.
How self-serving and utterly antediluvian.
No one wants to lose his or her hair or become nauseous due to chemotherapy (which would deprive one of necessary fluids – good luck with that sweating).
I won’t address the complete twaddle of the Samsonian qualities of hair.
If these “traditional” therapies work, then why did they fail to treat smallpox or tuberculosis?
I have no problem with traditional or holistic approaches to healing. They are all good — that is often at least psychologically beneficial to an individual who believes in them. But you are exactly right. When it comes to the media, they are total hypocrites, Ivermectin, because of it’s use in many 3rd world countries could be considered a traditional medicine. It ain’t big Pharma, that’s for sure.
Ivermectin is hardly third world, it won a Noble prize and is an effective anti-viral. It has been in use for what, 50, 60 years?
I just meant it is used extensively by many underdeveloped countries.
I’ve practiced medicine long enough to see the failure and often eventual withdrawal of several very profitable lines like Vioxx and ranitidine, the deliberate confusion of relative and absolute risk reduction in regard to cholesterol lowering medications, the underreporting of adverse reactions, the flogging of new antidepressants which are hard to withdraweven if ineffective…by no means a comprehensive list. I resort more and more to the drugs on the 100 essentials from WHO before it became political. Alternatives? If they do no harm and make the patient feel better, fine.
Did anybody ask Dr I-invented-tobacco what he thinks?
