We seriously need to get a handle on all these pseudoscience bullshit health remedies.

There's obviously the human cost but we could also be saving all these endangered animals that are poached and trafficked because idiots believe that grinding up this or that part of their bodies will give them super boners or cancer immunity.

People won't stop believing this kind of stuff. If it's natural and not cooked up in a government approved pharmaceutical lab, than apparently that's better. Probably the same people that believe vaccines are deadly.

You're probs right that we can't eliminate it entirely. But if we can reduce the demand to the point where it is no longer profitable then we win.

@Pikachu that would be a big win. I guess awareness and education is the best thing we can do.

It's working in some areas. I know that for instance homeopathy has been taken off the NHS in the UK.

But traditional chinese medicine sure causes a lot of problems.

@Pikachu I could imagine it would.
