I feel like if he gets his way I’ll be prescribed sunshine, exercise, raw milk, and whatever drug a pharmaceutical bribed him to sell, instead of the immunomodulators I really need.

He’s like a mix of your uncle who thinks your chronic illness would go away if you “go outside and get some sunshine, stop being so negative, and eat more xyz” and your aunt who believes “acupuncture and supplements will cure you and all other medicines are a conspiracy”.

      There’s also some alternative medicine grifters trying to claim stem cells can cure anything. (What they call stem cells is basically just taking cells from people’s right arm and injecting it into their left arm).

      Actual stemcell therapy is revolutionary for a few illnesses but doesn’t change much for the rest. But some alternative medicine grifters are trying to capitalise on the hype the name has.

      I’m guessing Kennedy believes in the grifters, whose “therapy” has been rejected FDA approval because the is no evidence it works at all.
