bburns+Followwhy i skipped the meds for my broken toeWhen I broke my toe recently, I didn't rush to medication. Instead: 1. Applied turmeric poultice for swelling 2. Elevated, iced, and buddy-taped it 3. Focused on nutrition and hydration Our bodies know how to heal! I believe in trying gentler approaches first (like herbs, water therapies, stretches) before jumping to pharmaceuticals. Modern medicine is crucial for serious issues, but alternative methods often work without side effects for minor problems.

mandy27+FollowDoctors push pills, I push ginger. Who’s right?I’m a science believer—until my uncle’s sketchy “detox foot bath” (spoiler: it’s just rusted metal flakes) somehow helped him sleep. Meanwhile, I chug ginger ale for stomachaches because science says ginger helps. Here’s the messy truth: Some alt meds are scams (looking at you, $300 electrolysis scams), but others tap into nature’s real chemistry. Even doctors overprescribe for kickbacks. My rule? If it’s harmless, affordable, and works—placebo or not—why fight it? But let’s call out predatory nonsense. Where do you draw the line? #healthscience #alternativemedicine162Share
