people turn to alternative medicine when conventional medicine fails them

steve mcqueen spent something like a million dollars trying to treat his mesothelioma

i don't have thoughts about it either way, but it's something only extremely desperate people do, so why not let them?

wouldn't you rather that money goes to helping more people than filling the pockets of scammers?

i dont give a fuck if they genuinely believe touching gemstones can cure chronic illnesses. if they are making fat stacks off gullible rich people then then government should get a sizeable cut
