    None of what you said makes any sense.

    This is the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer denouncing vaccines because they feel that their herbs are close enough to real medicine. 🤦‍♂️

    Don’t do that. Syntax absolutely matters.

      Look! I made a new programming language!


      1. Vaccines are not medicine. They are a more refined form of older (much dirtier and dangerous) practices of sharing sick people’s blood to create group immunity. I’m pretty thankful of not having to do the latter.
      2. No, herbs are far from factory produced, chemically engineered medicine.
      • Most usages of herbs are defined in a way that it acts much closer to cooking. Also most of the herbs used in everyday cooking have medicinal and detoxifying properties, which is 1 of the ways food recipes have developed the way they do.
      • Herbal medicine is much milder than the extremely refined medicine produced using modern methods
        • Hence, they are much slower to act and you need to be using them much earlier than what you can manage with modern ones
        • Hence, there is much less overdose related problems
      • Most herbal medicine tend to have multiple effects. This is in contrast with modern medicine, where extra effects tend to be mostly undesirable and detrimental
        • Hence, herbal medicine is a better choice for regular, low intensity problems, like the flu and what-not, rather than popping Paracetamol every time your temp goes 1℉ over the baseline.
      • Herbal medicine works along with nutrition. This means, it is much harder to develop a tolerance to it in a way that would make it harder for it to work in the future.
