While you're right that doctors can often be some of the least competent and most unhelpful professionals to exist, I'd just like to highlight that most people spend thousands of tens of thousands of dollars on various supplements with no or limited results.

And a lot of the time, the supplements have understudied or unnoticed side effects or risks, not to mention the fact that they target the actual root causes as rarely as the meds do.

Not everyone can afford or has the heart for this either, and sooner or later, we NEED mainstream healthcare to have the answers.
