There's a correlation between old school values and avoiding new school problems.

I have saved several exgfs from lifelong headaches and migraines, some no longer having to take their controlled quantity strong prescription migraine pills. I had them substantially up their salt intake. But they'll still worry that too much beef is going to kill me, because the same doctor that couldn't help them with their headaches says so.
Meh. Old school values include a lot of superstition, abuse, and destructive practices. If we want the benefit from the good we need to be able to systematically separate the wheat from the chaff.
This is a gem. I'll quote you. Thanks.
