Hi all. How's everyone doing today? I have a question for those with #chronicIllness who use natural remedies, particularly #herbalism, to help with your illness, instead of or along with western medicine. My mom got me some stuff to start a #garden since she thinks I'll love growing my own food and #herbs, and we also think it would be good to see if we can find any herbs that might help with my health issues. She seems to think it's enough to just look up herbs and what they do, but from what I'm reading, there's a lot more to it than that, since they might need to be prepared in a certain way, or there might be a certain tradition or way of use behind them, so I'm trying to find resources to teach me about herbs and how to use them, and maybe just natural and alternative medicine in general. There seems to be a lot of stuff on YouTube, but it's hard to know what's reliable or might be too visual since I'm #blind. I've looked at online courses, but I don't know about #accessibility and most cost a lot of money, which we don't have. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can learn about herbalism, #alternativeMedicine, and things like that in an affordable, #accessible way? #chronicallyIll#NEISVoid@chronicillness
The Bates eye method is an alternative therapy that purports to "cure" defective #eyesight and diseases of the #eye by means of specific exercises. It is based on the work and theories of William Horatio Bates, a medical doctor and eye specialist practicing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although rejected and later soundly debunked by his peers, Bates's method was readily adopted into the alternative medicine and health freedom scenes, where it became interwoven with nutritional and other pseudoscience in the hands of early "health fad" figureheads such as Bernarr Macfadden and Gayelord Hauser.

There’s no such thing as Alternative Medicine. If it works, it’s medicine. The rest is dangerous woo, often mixed with cultural fetishisation.
