Shouldn't more treatment options be a good thing? I can never understand this logic.

> Shouldn't more treatment options be a good thing?

If they work - if they are safe and effective for the given disease, then yes.

If.

Science hasn't established them as actual treatment options. The ivmmeta.com study shows that one horse oil pill doesn't always improve the prognosis.
No.

Here, eat this rock. That's be $500. Look at that, another treatment option.

Critical thinking is important in medicine. You can't just trust any yahoo with medical advice.

It's not a treatment option, that's the problem; it's being presented as if it was.
Enjoy your horse paste if you think that is more effective than a vaccine that has been administered 6.5 Billion times and it has a proven very high efficacy.
