I am a physician and I deal everyday with patients who believe crap like this. They believe anything the high school kid behind the counter at GNC says. But I have a study done on 5000 patients over several years on a drug that shows a mortality benefit and they insist that the medication is far too dangerous to take. They think "natural" is safe (as if it means anything in the first place), but they buy this supposedly high tech water that is sold as being anything but "natural water" as if it is the secret of health. They will spend $300 a month on internet supplements but piss and moan about a $10 copay for a visit where I individualize their treatment and address 4 or 5 different diagnoses. None of them get it when I point out that heroin is "natural."
Sorry......long week.
