Posting folk cures can be deadly, and is almost always stupid when the cures are part of or emerge from the conspiracy-oriented subcultures of the ‘unformation age’.
The first reason is that millions of people are selling their insane idea because… well, they can. Fear makes a great customer base, and everyone wants to believe there’s a ‘cure’ for cancer or leukemia or whatever fatal nightmare has invaded their lives or minds. So, basically, anyone can invent anything and call it a cure. The result? Cults and dead people, generally.
Here’s the second problem. When a ‘cure’ -appears to work- this does not necessarily suggest the cure is effective against the disease. At all. As every physician knows, some unknown portion of the curing process is the -mind-. Thus, when vetting cures one cannot say ‘It cured Joe! it must be golden!’ That is the route to thousands of dead people who faith did not save from a cure that was not a cure, but a trance.
So, you know, grow some intelligence before you recommend further stupidity to people already suffering from deadly disease. Intelligence is rarer than a good cure, and the mimics that vie to replace it are usually diseases… masquerading as cures.
