    The AMA was literally formed to keep all forms of healthcare to a few rich white guys called doctors, and prevent nurses and midwives from ‘practicing medicine’.

    There’s also a whole lot more going on in health than chemistry. Placebos and holistic approaches work, and science doesn’t know why, because science has to remove all variables in order to function, whereas the human condition is such a complex pile of interoperating nonsense sometimes the only way to get anywhere is to step back, look at, and address the greater picture.
