Yeah, prepping is great but you might want to rethink this attitude.

Truth is, we don't know what works and you must realize that many (most?) people publishing in those papers you read don't have your well-being as their first priority.

You defy docs who prescribe, but why not also defy those who attempt to ride the fear wave to publish?

Good point about the incentives behind publishing. That said, it would be nice if educated people could make educated risks, and the general population could learn from their successes and failures. It seems like that would be a lot faster than the current system of getting drugs approved
