@SapientPearwood @PraxisOfEvil The thing we have to do is get smart on natural remedies. It turns out a lot of problems that modern medicine "solves" were solved a long time ago by various herbs, long forgotten, which are too inexpensive and easy for normal people to grow for companies to make obscene profits off of them.

Turmeric with black pepper fruit extract works *better* than ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Pure turpentine (not the denatured, byproduct stuff) helps with respiratory issues. Peppermint tea does wonders for an upset stomach.

There is a plant, called the "tootheache plant," that most people have never heard of, the leaves of which cause numbing when chewed. It's easy to grow and helps with, you guessed it, tootheaches.

Holy basil helps with basically everything but especially mood and stress, and there's a reason garlic was said to ward off evil in times past.

There's so much natural stuff out there that we have a responsibility to rediscover, because the "healthcare" system is really the "sick care" system that exists solely to keep you a customer for as long as possible, not to cure you.
