Internet User Waiting For Tumor Surgery Gets Advice From Alternative Medicine Advocate, But Someone Shuts It Down
Medicine and the health industry are complex and often controversial areas, people hold very strong opinions about what’s best for themselves and rightly so. There is plenty of misinformation out there so you need to be careful and use common sense when self-diagnosing, and in this case of blatant false advice for their in-laws, somebody just had to speak out.
After being shocked by someone suggesting that apple cider vinegar, lemon and olive oil will ‘get rid’ of a tumor growing inside of a gallbladder, Redditor PastyDeath decided enough was enough. The response to the dangerous and outrageous claim has since gone viral, and is just the kind of straight talking, no nonsense talk that naïve, and probably a little scared, people need to hear when they are having health issues. “I am not a medical expert in any sense,” PastyDeath told Bored Panda. “I’m also not terribly proud of using Livestrong as a source. There is, however, a balance to be struck between countering blatantly wrong and potentially harmful medical advice and writing my own dissertation on the subject. I chose to split the difference, erring on the side that wasn’t a dissertation.”
So it would seem that this particular ‘salad dressing’ didn’t impress PastyDeath at all. What is the preferred dressing then? “This may sound crass, but I like a really good balsamic Caesar dressing.”

Share on FacebookIf you're dumb enough to use the internet as your medical consultant than it's indeed likely you'll believe that saaddressing will cure tumors , anti-vaxxing is the way to keep your children healthy and that baking soda will cure cancer. The last time I didn't feel well I googled my symptoms. According to the internet my ovaries were enflamed. I'm a man.
Did you tell your doctor about that? LMAO Actually, I think in some very rare medical cases it's possible for a man to also have ovaries (to be born with both male and some female body parts) but I'm not a medical expert and I'm guessing that wasn't the case with you. Also: it is possible to find some good medical information on the internet, you just have to know where to look, and ALWAYS consult with real doctors (even get a second or third opinion if necessary) in real life before doing something stupid.
Load More Replies...I’ve always thought these “cures” are another form of health shaming. Like , oh you’re sick? It’s your fault for not trying such and such wonderful cure! I live with an autoimmune disease, and I rarely share the fact with people, even those close to me. I can’t share with them my health issues without hearing about whatever dumbass cure their friend’s boyfriend’s aunt’s dog walker tried and now they’re cured and immortal! Lol
Hear hear! I too have an autoimmune disease. My response to people who try to 'help' me with ridiculous cures is this: "My chronic medical condition is more real than your imaginary medical expertise". I bought a tee-shirt that says this, and wear it sometimes when I'm in a not-so-great mood and have to be out and about. The sad part about this is that I'm actually in the medical field, so people think that I should never have any medical issues. The 'health shaming' is real.

Shhh, don't correct them, it's natural selection, let them die out from their own failed believes.
I just want to say that there are many qualified, amazing naturopaths that have seen their careers end over this kind of BS. I AM one. I DO know what natural therapies (basic nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes and hormonal balance amongst other disciplines) CAN do and what they CAN'T do. I am not an idiot. I spent four years studying anatomy (including many hours research and learning with cadavers at university), nutrition, musculoskeletal anatomy, mineral therapy, herbal medicine amongst other subjects and then a year in public clinic before I graduated with my degree, only to find a great deal of people have no interest in actually educating themselves about their bodies and how they work. People happy to follow the latest fad or rumour than change the way they live. People who latch on to any fool idea rather work hard at getting well. I spent seven years in the industry before I couldn't stand it anymore and am now a qualified Pharmacist.
I am a college educated herbalist (attended both dominion and pacific rim, aunt messy). I have to defend my field every damn day and it's tiring. Anyone who finds an article on the internet and medicates themselves based on that info isn't doing the the same thing as visiting a herbalist and certainly isn't the same as being a herbalist or naturopath. That's foolish beyond measure. But I have seen and experienced first hand how powerful plant based medicine can be. I believe in it wholeheartedly

There is no "vinegar based medicine". There IS vinegar based salad dressing...and apparently b******t. Idiots who give this "advice" are literally telling people that suicide is a good way to cure cancer.
Load More Replies...Unfortunately, there is no cure for stupidity. In some cases, it's terminal.
In my Country you can choose if you want therapies or not (for free anyway). My cancer is chronic. I will have to face therapies for all my life. But, along with traditional chemo, radio, immunotherapy, I try to add aloe, sodium bicarbonate, apple vinegar. I'm aware that I can only hope to survive. And I lost 1/3 of my weight, I'm tired, weak and all. Therefore, I'll let anyone choose their own destiny: Sometimes you don't want to fight anymore.
I've seen both sides -"modern medicine" killing someone I love, and "alternate medicine" being a pile of rubbish... and then both being really great in different situations. The truth is that the human body is amazingly complex and we still have a LOT more to learn than we are willing to admit, because being sick is scary. I do not discount either types of thought if there is clinical evidence, but even then I don't buy into either fully. You have to try to make the most informed decision you can and go from there.
I can't help but wonder if alternative medicine preachers even know what they're talking about sometimes
They don't, ever. They just make up silly s**t and take people's money.

One lady was so insistent that my mother eat custard apples and avoid any kind of medicine the doctors had planned for her, that I got so pissed I asked point blank if she wanted my mother to die. I said, "So what you're saying is I should convince my mother to eat custard apples. And when this doesn't work and she dies because her cancer hasn't been treated, can I come and lay the blame at your feet doctor fucktard?" Needless to say we don't talk anymore. Also, mum is in remission.

My aunt told to drink honey to cure my allergies and a diet would cure my asthma
The honey thing can actually help... IF you have mild pollen allergies and IF the honey you are eating is local only and contains pollen from the things you're allergic to. My allergist told me that eating locally sourced honey can help you build up a tolerance, but it takes months to years of daily ingestion and you run the risk of becoming allergic to other compounds. She said if your the sort of person that occasionally had to take a Zyrtec when the pollen is really really bad, it might help. If your allergies are worse or more varied than that.... hey, good on you for supporting the local bee keeping industry. Because that's the best effect you're having.

Load More Replies...Ah yes. Vinegar, baking soda, spices, CBD oil, miso soup, keto diet, they cure *everything*! That's why everyone is still sick, right? Oh, and a nice exorcism would've fixed my epilepsy right up! Who needs a silly neurologist when I can put tarpaper on my windows to keep out the devils? (My grandmothers' respective solutions to epilepsy: exorcism and tarpaper.) PFeh.
I have been hearing these home cures for kidney stones that milk n baking soda and beer n butter milk n what not will flush out your stones. IT DOES NOT. small stones come out on their own with more water and for big you have to go for laser or surgery. While the whole time pain is as bad as hell.
Please, let them continue to use alternative medicine. Anyone whose dumb enough to fall for this b******t will be deposed from the gene pool and that's society fixed.
A few things to remember: much of medicine is from plants and other natural substances. It's concentrated or broken down, but most is from natural ingredients. No one should rely purely on naturopathy, and medical advice should also be researched and a second/third opinion received. The truth is we are big walking electrochemical sets. What we eat does affect us and the chemicals we ingest in processed foods have an effect on us. Adding certain foods that add up to salad dressings also have an effect on our bodies that is why we eat them, but we also eat too much 'food like substances' that can have a negative effect on us. If you've got an illness, eating clean isn't enough, see a doctor and change your eating habits.
Thats how we lost Steve Jobs. Alternative medicine until it was too late.
Did anyone else think that "herpes turning to cancer" guy was bullshitting just as much as alternative medicine people?
I'm not sure about this whole salad dressing cure. Sounds like nonsense. Although there is stock to be held in a lot of herbal & natural compounds. That's where many of our medicines originate, & can be a good alternative to some of the harsher, man-made additives that come with today's pharmaceuticals. I'm my humble opinion of course.

1. Check any symptom you have with Google - be it a runny nose, a pimple, a tumor. You will get a confirmation, you have cancer. 2. Change eating habits. It will cure your cancer. 3. Remember, they have not yet found a cure for stupidity, which you need right now.
All my friends who used herbal and alternative medicines are dead now. I'll stick with my doctor.
There's prevention and then there's acute care - one should never confuse the two. If your arm is going to fall off, no amount of blueberries or turmeric will help. Vice versa, while you're in good health avoid known excessive health modifiers to decrease the risk of an acute or chronic condition later on. Even then, you can't say it's a steadfast rule...
It's common sense - there are preventative methods, and then there's...oh c**p it's too late for that, i need to cut the thing off. And some conditions fall in between where simply "boosting" your immune system won't do the trick. Our greatest asset as human beings is intelligence, to know when to use which method....dogma be gone!
I guess I am one of the dumb one I am reading in the comment section. I too had cancer got treated and the test showed the cancer came back. I started a natural medicine routine and the doctors canx the appointments with higher level specialists very shortly after wards. . did it cure me? Maybe. Maybe not. It was cheap to do and I figured I had nothing to loose. Laugh all you want. I been cancer free for over 8 years now. My brother on the other had was told they got all the cancer after the treatments he got and died a year later due to cancer spreading all over his spine.
Alternative medicine like what was in the article is not medicine at all. It's more like poison. If you listen to those who recommend the apple cider vinegar, lemon and olive oil, the first think that is poisoned is your mind. And when you follow their recipe, then your body is the next target for the poison.
I will say this as a Medical Professional. Doctors are not trained in Health, but they are trained in disease. When I had cancer I relied on my physician and a multi-disciplinary approach. The saying is Ley thy food be thy medicine. I agree that a healthy diet is preferable instead of junk. I also believe that you have the right to treat your body in a reasonable and healthy way yourself. Get a massage, drink fresh juices, fast, eat lots of veggies and fruit and for goodness sake enjoy your life! Have a nice coffee, eat a piece or two of cake. I also believe people should be able to choose marijuana if they feel this is an avenue they want to go down. CBD oil has been fantastic for children epilepsy where they went from 300 seizures a day to 5. Using baking soda also will change the PH of your blood. Be incredibly good to yourself, and get out in nature, walk, breathe and realize that you are participating in your health, the doctor in disease. Vinegar and honey drink is ok also.
Considering the hundreds of thousands of people killed by prescription medicines, botched surgeries and hospital/antibiotic resistant infections, it's no wonder folks are seeking alternatives. Doctors saved my daughters life when she was a baby, so I'm certainly not anti-western medicine, however, I see these alternative approaches as an end result of the failures of how western medicine approaches disease in general. I'd like to see more research that is not tainted by bias towards conventional or unconventional methods, in order to try to achieve better health for all.
The thing that hurts is that my disorder has no medical cure. I feel like if I don't try these methods people around are just shaking their head. If I only gave up.... or drank ... I would be able to rewrite my DNA and be functioning human.
Medicine is such a grey area because we know so little about the human body. Is breakfast the most important meal of the day or is intermittent fasting better? The medical establishment can't even figure out what to even put in our bodies. Growing up, dairy was one of the "4 essential food groups" even though more than 1/2 the world is lactose intolerant. Western medicine will prescribe you drugs for your, well, everything without even asking about your diet when it's beyond proven that most common ailments go away or are at least helped with a good diet. That's why I take what both sides say with a grain of salt. Nonsense "medicine" is goofy as s**t, but so is a good % of modern medicine so it's hard to know what to believe.
We know a LOT about the human body - and physicians spend most of their early lives learning about it. The Big Fake Medicine Industry makes around $35 million dollars a year peddling b******t and people die as a result of it. ....////..... "Alternative" medicine that works is called medicine.
