There’s definitely a lot of misinformation out there. Med school lad is with us today and caught up with nephew via text regarding a headache he had last time they talked. The verdict?

“The doc said he had a virus and gave him 10 days of antibiotics for it.”

I suspect med school lad’s blood pressure went up considerably. With discussion we’re hoping it’s nephew who did a word exchange vs a doctor giving antibiotics for a virus. Even then the lad says they aren’t supposed to offer antibiotics for something that isn’t lingering long enough to warrant them.

Tara Westover’s memoir talks about helping her mother make homeopathic “medicines”. The parents now run a huge company making and marketing essential oils. It’s frightening how poorly some people understand chemistry.

I think the mormon MLM culture isn’t even about the product, it is about the obligations of relationships, so I don’t think chemistry is even relevant. If you can MLM religion successfully, you can MLM ANYTHING. I think that is different from buying into snake oils.
