When I have a festering wound, big pharma wants me to believe I have to take antibiotics (literally means anti-life, wake up sheeple) but I trust the wisdom of the ancients by rubbing a mixture of goatshit and parsley over it. 100% natural
They aren't mystery ingredients. Not knowing what something is doesn't make it a mystery.
When you're this far down the magical woo pipeline, you understand less about how the world works than a medieval peasant.
That's true, I'd imagine most medieval peasants would absolutely be in favour of vaccinating against diseases that killed 7 out of their 9 kids.
Going to get vaxxed and telling the nurse, "no spoilers"
How did our ancestors know it was a superfood if they didn't have some dipshit on Facebook coming up with the idea of superfoods?
The meta changes over time. Right now we care about vitamins and antioxidants and so on but it used to be just stuff that stored well like smoked fish, salt beef, pickled vegetables etc.
"Superfoods" are such a fucking racist concept. Taking random foods from other parts of the world, removing them from their original culinary traditions, and putting worse prepared versions of them in a pedestal as somehow uniquely healthy, is... Just culinary colonialism.
I'm a raw honey truther. No no, hear me out on this one.
Yes, it CAN contain botulism. It wont, though. The only people at risk are infants. Don't give infants honey. Raw or otherwise. That is the risk where botulism generally occurs.
You are about as likely to get botulism from honey as you are to get struck by lightning or get a brain eating amoeba from swimming in a river. It is so wildly rare. Generally honey is naturally antibacterial. Its one of the safer foods you can eat raw. Its safer than any random vegetable, no exaggeration. Way more likely to get some food born illness from a cucumber or tomato than raw honey. Exponentially more likely.
That said, I don't think there are really any benefits to raw honey over pasteurized honey. But if you had some raw honey feel confident in eating it. It's safe.
This comment constitutes medical and legal advice.

Isn't that already agreed upon? As in the post is saying "give infants honey despite the known risk"?
sure it doesnt guarantee your infant will get botulism but the risks arent worth it and i wouldnt recommend that im just saying overall raw honey is like one of those foods that is actually perfectly fine raw
basically when you get it is more or less raw im not even sure they do anything to it other than strain it well
Made another comment about this already, by it bears repeating.
Taking random plants from other parts of the world, removing them from their original culinary traditions, and putting worse prepared versions of them in a pedestal as somehow uniquely healthy, is... Just culinary colonialism.
If there's anything that doesn't contain "mystery ingredients" it's going to be pharmaceuticals. Very few things are as controlled and monitored as the formulation and production of medicine.
The average layperson can't understand what all the ingredients are or what they do but that is a consequence of having a society with specialisation of work and it's no more alarming than the average layperson not knowing how apple trees are pruned. Something doesn't become a mystery simply because understanding it takes some effort.
But it has a scary name i dont understand! And Mercury!!!
Id much rather eat the slave produced bee vomit
I fucking love Gubba Homestead, she believes the sound of bells heals all injuries and sickness and that's why so many church bells were "melted down for the metal" in the last few centuries: Big Medicine is destroying the places of healing
i'm not joking she believes this she rules
Obviously, this kind of anti-intellectualism is really bad and continues to permeate western society, to the detriment of its most vulnerable populations.
But god, do I love an insane freak with deeply unhinged thoughts. That shit is so fucking funny.
Doing CIA psyop torture shit on yourself to cure cancer, but instead of playing Skinny Puppy on loop, it's a YouTube compilation of church bells. What fucking concept! Lmao
lmao do you have to ring them a certain way that most priests were bad at doing, or does she have some other reason why people within earshot of churches continued to die from the plague
that, plus digital recordings of church bells lack the fundamental harmonic frequencies of spiritually attuned metal-life alloys and are like soul poison
Toilets have chemicals in them. I use a wooden bucket that i dump in the street just like my ancestors
This is insulting to medieval peasant. These people choose to have brainworms.
At least medieval peasants were willing to play with the cards dealt them, these people are issued a modern deck of cards and willfully throw them in the trash.
If everyone tells you your fever is caused by ghosts living in your blood you're not being unreasonable to accept it. If everyone is telling you the sickness is caused by microbes you aren't being reasonable when you say "no, it's the 5G towers."
Fr. Mideval peasants weren't this stupid. No one had figured out fucking germ theory yet.
Medieval people get a bad rap. They were superstitious as shit and did plenty of dumb shit but in a way at least their ignorance was less conspiratorial. There is at least a grander unifying explanation of reality by saying "God did it." There's some philosophical bones under the skin even if it's kinda flimsy under intense scrutiny. They weren't booking transcontinental flights and posting videos on the internet and doing so much shit that requires modern technology while simultaneously rejecting huge swathes of that scientific knowledge in order to hock miracle cures and homeopathy. Like that's the part that bakes my noodle when it comes to these types of people. We split the atom. You really think the earth is flat? Nukes are real but germ theory isn't? Flight is possible but the birds aren't real? The way they pick and choose is so damn inconsistent and overall goofy.
Nukes actually poke an infinitesimal hole through the earth which unleashes the force of the firmament that holds up the flat earth for a fraction of a second, atoms are a greek hoax.
Let's revert back to the times when we were still fucking around figuring out what kills us and what makes us live longer, not realizing how important washing hands before helping a woman undergoing childbirth was. Let's consume food raw despite the deaths of unknown causes because people didn't know any better and the science wasn't developed.
Let's abandon modern medicine because a 21st century, third-world country peasant can't research so-called mystery ingredients in vaccinations and rather demonize technology they cannot understand on twitter.
Ok, the peasant isn't the reason, but the oligarchs and technocrats want everything exclusively to themselves and want to return to feudalism where they sit on their high thrones watching the people suffer for their pleasure.
Let's ignore how drastically life expectancy has improved over the past couple of centuries, where access to modern medicine has made a significant impact.

I wish people had access to universal healthcare in Amerikkka, which we would have actually had if it wasn't for this fascist, racist ethnostate blocking any policy that would have helped black citizens. I wish healthcare was available to everyone, and community resources were available to combat antivax hysteria. Even housing would have been more accessible, but this Jim Crow ethnostate instead gentrified black neighborhoods, constructing highways through them and passing laws to restrict affordable housing for the blacks, all because of its super-fascist hatred that even Nazis thought was too harsh. Death to this despicable, satanic empire.
Feels like kinda important context that infant mortality was like 30 % for most of those thousands of years.
It might actually be a good thing that a fundamental part of reactionary identity has become chronic food poisoning and munching on bleach and heavy metals.
A fascist
worked outlicked the Elephant's Foot today, what did you do? (I ate a bunch of beans and rice like a normal person)
it is not a good thing when it's their kids who suffer the most. that baby didn't choose to be born from reactionary dipshits, but it will most likely suffer greatly because of it. grown adults shitting their pants from raw milk and a meat only diet? cool, good, love it. their unvaxxed indoctrinated kids contracting botulism? much less cool imo
Honey is a dangerous susbtance if it has dangerous substances within it
Putting Radon 22 in my honey and there's nothing you can do about it
"Ancestral superfood" made me irrationally angry.
IT'S NOT YOURS IT BELONGS TO THE BEES. THEY DON'T MAKE IT FOR YOUR BENEFIT graaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr
They don't make it for your benefit.
Same thing applies to most foods. That head of lettuce isn't growing there because it wants to end up in a salad.
Anyone who unironically uses the term "superfood" can be safely dismissed as a charlatan, a rube or both.
Oh shit! Captain Broccoli™ is beating the shit out of my intestines! How foolish of me to try to eat him!
They do go a little extra with this stuff, I get why but they do. Like honey is mostly safe, not perfectly safe but it's tonicity tends to kill off anything that gets in contact - but it's still harbored butlinum spores and toxin and it can cause infant paralysis because of it. Also you can't pasteurize the honey, because c botulinum spores can survive pasteurization. By the time they hit a year old they're better able to hand the spores (by killing them with their tummies!!)
And there's still occasional listeria and e coli contamination of leafy greens but we don't tell people "avoid all leafy greens." There's never been a single case ever of a pregnant parent having one bender where the baby developed FASD (you have to drink truly prodigious amounts routinely, like alcoholic amounts, and even then that's not 100% guaranteed), but we still tell pregnant parents to avoid even one drink. Also nevermind the crap that's going one with mechanically tenderized beef.
I dunno, I dunno how I feel about it all. I get why we say to do what we do but it does often feel like playing into the granola antivax hands when we tell people "no don't eat raw fish (sushi) or cheese when you're pregnant but sure eat as much grocery store lettuce don't even look up why we tell you to avoid cheeses and raw sushi grade fish."
