        But cbd cures headaches, syphillis, the cold, nausea, financial distress and global warming. Google said so.

        You’re obviously right, though. I just wish healthcare would be more accessible and ... less filled with people who have .. strange opinions. :(

        Indeed. You can't even go on some sites anyway unless you sign privacy away. I think there's room for exploring the web if the health concerns aren't an emergency or easily resolved, but knowing where to go & how to read credible material (with an evidential mindset) is important

        Those who lack the basic skill set to not sign their privacy away or discern what is reality & evidence-based are precisely those who need this advice the most, though. The long term societal costs could outweigh the personal pain + probable body count. #toxic #wellnesswarriors

        I'll agree about evidenced based medicine. I disagree that means only my Dr. Our relationship with Drs is gone. Being a Dr is paint by numbers now. Diagnose. Access protocol. Follow insurance recommendations. (And, your 7 minutes is up)

        So who are you going to for your Evidence Based Medicine if not the person who spends years of their life learning, studying, practising and performing said Evidence Based Medicine? It's gonna be one of those people from the second column, isn't it?
