I think many people who are anti-med but pro herbal alternatives for example, don’t know how the alternatives are manufactured. If they were they, they wouldn’t be so anti-med.

In a previous life I was privy to some audits looking at how both the big pharma and alternatives were manufactured. Very similar processes but not quite.

As an example, big pharma has to use ‘gold standard’ filters on product A. Each filter has to be pre tested and the product is filtered down to 0.1 microns. If they don’t, a $1M batch will have to be discarded. As in it has cost the company $1M loss for that one batch. The batch must also pass audits.

Alternative herbal manufacturer will use a significantly cheaper filter. One that filters down to 0.2 microns at best case scenario but more than likely 10microns.
They aren’t able to guarantee consistency between batches and aren’t subject to the same auditing process.

My personal reason for being pro normal meds is because I have 3 family members who would be alive today if they had seen real doctors and taken real meds instead of the stuff sold by the quacks they saw.
