You do understand that libraries and bookstores are, and always have been, full of quack medical books?

Have a look here:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=homeopathy+book

And here:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=herbal+medicine Unlike homeopathy, some of these are probably actually effective to some degree, but many are bunk, if not outright dangerous. Recall that Steve Jobs opted for "herbal medicine" rather than getting cancer surgery.

So yeah, I'm going to have to say this is a straw man.
