I think when people suggest to try this or that it is actually not that they think it's a cure. It's that they are trying to help. It's very hard to watch or hear about people suffering and not try to help. There are ways we can help ourselves.

If we want understanding we have to also show understanding. Yes some people are ignorant, which is lack of knowledge in most cases I think. If we let it get to us to much we become closed too.
