hi if you feel like it's more important to blanket condemn everything under the umbrella of "alternative medicine" than it is for people with un/under-treated illness to find whatever tools will help them get through the day, please just go ahead and unfollow me now.
for a lot of people the alternative to "alternative medicine" is literally nothing.
also, a lot of "alternative medicine" is well studied.
yes there is a lot of misinfo out there. there is also a lot of abuse & neglect within the system.
get on board w harm reduction or gtfo.

“alternative medicine is dangerous, you should trust your doctor!”
1. my doctor recommends safe home remedies as first line interventions all the time.
2. a lot of doctors literally refuse to diagnose hEDS/HSD specifically *because* they have no treatments to offer. so.

I guess I’m saying there’s a pretty big difference between [looking for alt treatment options out of some quest for purity/freedom? even though there are safe and effective treatments available to you] and [looking for literally anything that will help, regardless of provenance].
(also important to note that the line between alternative / [not alternative] medicine is drawn Very Differently by different people. if you want to draw a line between yourself & the ivermectin crowd, fine, but this is not the way.)
