To add to your thoughts on these natural substances and their ability to serve medicinal purposes, many of these powders/oils/etc do have evidence of efficacy but it's usually in some lab or poorly designed "study" and they're often not ultimately doing a damn thing when we take them. Besides maybe a meager placebo effect.

Take Saw Palmetto as an example. Constantly touted as an effective treatment for BPH (enlarged prostate and the symptoms that accompany it). I once spoke to a very well respected hospital's chief of naturopathy about it. He'd looked into it, along with many other things with optimism and vigor because that was job to do so. Spoiler alert, he said it did nothing.

From WebMD:

Saw palmetto: This is a short tree that grows in North America. Some small studies have shown a benefit. However, several large studies do not show that saw palmetto reduces the size of the prostate or eases urinary symptoms.

The way he explained it was that for the supposed effects to show up you'd have to take a dose that's unreasonable to both produce and consume, and even then it's arguable whether or not it would do anything.

It's like all of the covid "cures" and "promising treatments" coming out of the woodwork. Jlang could set up a petri dish in his van down by an undisclosed river and subject it to readings of his past posts, and the virus would probably die in vitro. Or kill itself* to end the misery.

*Oh shit! I think I may have inadvertently created a cure for Covid you guys!

Many things can work in a lab or a mouse and ultimately have zero effect in humans. Natural remedies are our best example of that.

Now that I've pointed that out I'll admit that some things can and do work, they're just the exception. Hell, I used to sell a drug called Condylox Gel that killed wart tissue. It was specifically tested and approved based on trials for genital warts, but like those who contract genital warts it was taking all comers (heyooo) and would work on regular old warts too. It killed the tissue. Nobody knew exactly why, but it was derived from a flower (or plant, I can't be bothered to look it up right now) and that's some powerful flower assassin type shit. They could make a hell of a CSI episode around that flower. #FlowerPower #TissueDeath

At any rate, there are plenty of things that will likely work just as much as natural cures and I've listed a couple below.

- Snorting Pixy Stix
- Rubbing yourself in Respert's preferred steak seasoning, Chicago Steak by - - - Weber
- Watching JLang lose to Ohm and CTMedic in a science battle
- Putting people on ignore that deserve it
- Flaming Dr. Peppers
