This already 1.5 year old substack-article by dr Naomi WOLF addresses the subject of Natural/Traditional remedies. 

She describes how the events of the last 4 years (Covid-19 and the disastrous 'accepted' mitigation measures, the vaccines being case in point) did offset her on a journey to re-discover the global wisdom on healing by natural/traditional methods before John D. Rockefeller realized in 1910 what he could do to medicine to make it a profit-machine.

She concludes her overview of how natural/traditional medicine has been hijacked with these words:  

> Also note that I must always discuss these findings as a cultural historian and stress that I am not advising anyone to do anything, or practicing medicine. (“I am not a medical doctor, don’t arrest me,” as I always begin my videos).

I’ve been astonished by the effectiveness of many of these herbs, roots, leaves and seeds in the scientific literature — amazed at the universality with which some of these have been used around the world since time immemorial — and I know (don’t arrest me) that people who are following these findings, are better informed, and happy to have the information (though I’ll be arrested for sure if I tell you that they also tell me that they are feeling better).

Unsurprisingly, the author Naomi Wolf has a track record of high-profile factual errors and amplification of medical misinformation, especially during COVID-19. That history warrants heightened skepticism and independent verification when evaluating her health-related claims.

May i add........ supplements,  correct diet as per the individual,  the correct exercise and intensity APTI  (as per the individual) ,   willingness and ability to read lots and lots of articles,  find sites offering natural solutions, and have the smarts and guts to use themselves as the trial subject .   It takes time and effort to establish what works and what doesn't APTI .

 

I was in ok health, probably like some others that are 50's to mid 60's on this forum and in the world .   Not obese, fairly fit, and no major physical problems.  Well, everyone i know who is now in their seventies has had a rude awakening .   Some much worse than others.   Personally , i began to just not feel strong,  and have minor issues that seemed like one thing after another.  Some, not so minor (like knees, and some internal stuff) .

 

I have seen an orthopedist or two ... ( and one was helpful) .   As for internal stuff..... they would have had me on PPI medicine ( NO THANKS) ..... and Statins .   And anti=inflamatories.   etc etc .

 

I found "natural " solutions.   Using determination .  Not giving in to "take these pills" .      Just recently i discovered a real game changer .  But..... to discuss my results and what i use would only feed the trolls.   The same sad folks that think they can laugh at what is promoted by a group of alternative practioners of improving and maintaining health without drugs, drugs, drugs.    READ  the possible adverse effects !   Before i awoke... i did not read them.   Heck, these were doctors !    Well,  the adverse effects woke me up .   Then i researched "other doctors" with different solutions. 

 

Five years later........ my health has improved and i am in much better condition then at 70 .    A work still in progress.  I met a longtime friend today for lunch .   His wife immediately remarked how good my lady and I looked.   He, unfortunately...... was not doing well at all .   I tried ten years ago to suggest some lifestyle changes and different way of solving health issues.    Very few will benefit from such advice.
