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.
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.
You seem to have had something like mint and thyme in mind as an example of herbal medicine, but try to substitute something like marijuana and nightshade to see that your description doesn’t fit all of the herbs. The only thing I agree is that effects often come coupled and you have to do something to isolate necessary ones.
That’s not JSON. Note the use of equal signs for the property names. That’s something else.
Carcinisation is the phenomenon of non crabs to evolve crab like characteristics. It is not the process of non crabs becoming true crabs.
In this case the language is trending toward JSON syntax, but it doesn’t have to actually be JSON for carcinisation to be an applicable analogy.
So, you can say, it’s something else? 🤔
Equals schmequals.
It could be a
⇨and it would be the same as JSON because it is still a single symbol used as a separator.Now, if it took multiple separators, each giving some specific different meaning, then it would be a something else.
Nah, that’s a Ruby Hash…
schmooby schmash
Excuse me, it’s a Ruby Hash Rocket.
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!
