You cannot trust the modern doctors.
Because even they don’t trust themselves.
They are confined within the intellectual realms of medical syllabus and following guides blindly too. They don’t question the WHY of the birth of those “prescriptions”.
You are on your own.
In a yearly family gathering affair, perhaps it’s worthy to pay attention to members who are not doing the work that everybody expects.
It’s either true brilliance or stupidity - either way, it’s better than the mediocre.
