i see that there are several comrades here who share my frustration with the medical establishment. it’s hard to talk about with people who have never had the experience of being discounted and dismissed. i sit here and make memes for lack of anyone to talk to about it.
i’ve also been reading, researching, and keeping notes on ways to organize for the defense of people under circumstances like ours, but there’s no one to share these ideas with bc again, no one wants to listen.
i’m just glad to be here. i’m a little bit timid, but i hope to get to know everyone better with time.
Not to say that its at all a replacement for actual modern medicine but Ive had a few issues that doctors were so incapable of helping with i just turned to literal herbalism and it helped more than i expected. Doctors would just be like “Weird anyway nothing we can do. Maybe exercise idk.”
A lot of my issues were inflammation based and NSAIDs make me sick so i started using anti inflammatory herbs in my cooking. Lots of spicy foods with capsacin, turmeric+black pepper, ginger, drinking green tea, cinnamon, etc.
It made a huge difference.
