    [–] TIL: That the original "Snake Oil Salesman" wasn't convicted of selling snake oil, he was convicted of selling FAKE snake oil. Oil from Chinese Water Snakes was considered a legit medicine at the time, but Clark Stanley was convicted in 1917 of selling fake snake oil. docious 1 points ago in todayilearned

    You sounded like you knew it was ineffective so I thought you must know what’s in Chinese snake oil. Turns out it’s omega-3s which absolutely have medicinal value.

    But I get it... Reddit, essential oils, Karen. Circle jerks are fun

    Can you offer insight as to what exactly was in the real snake oil? (Eg what chemotypes were present)

    Dutch sounds a lot like German/English hybrid. Not sure about the parking but the Dutch way of saying “would you like a drink?” Is pronounced in Dutch something like “vood un like in drinkye?”

    Trying to attach Trump to this kinda makes the whole left look bad.

    This is terrible advice. As always it happens to do more with who you’re talking to and what about.

    No. This would eventually make you crazy!

    Glad you found something that works. I’ve shifted to the higher cbd/lower thc strains as I’ve gotten older. Good stuff for most things.

    Hue dur... Ignorance/disingenuousness is funny!

    Thank you. People just associate homeopathy with naturopathics in general out of ignorance. Which isn’t really 100% their fault given the misinformation that flies around.

    I wish I knew more about how this actually works on a biological level. Super interesting.

    It’s amazing how little we actually know about our own bodies and medicine

    Essential oils have been proven to be more effective then placebos. Folks who over promise (especially those who do so to profit) are the real problem.

    [–] Never been more proud of a Cheeto! docious 4 points ago in funny

    I don’t think essential oils would be a good/safe treatment for those ailments.

    That must be frustrating. Hopefully he doesn’t make you throw out the baby with the bath water (they can sometimes help).

    Curious to hear if you’ve tried melatonin supplements and if they help you at all?

    A bit more... “big pharma” is absolutely a huge concern and a lot of folks lump that in with true conspiracies like flat earthers.

    We are finally seeing a crackdown on doctors being paid off/bribes to prescribe more opioids than would otherwise be advised.

    Nail fungus is also very effectively treated with essential oils. So are some virus’ like HSV 1 and 2 (herpes).

    The problem with non synthesized/natural chemicals is the consistency in the presence of efficacious chemotypes is unreliable. (E.g. not all harvests of clove will have the same concentrations of eugenol)

    Also, some people with compromised immune systems rely on alternatives to more conventional treatments that can literally kill them.

    Because she is “at a certain age” does not make her statements any less true. So long as this is truthful/not exaggerated it is entirely appropriate for her to share this as to help others understand perspectives of others they might not otherwise be exposed to.

    Well said.

    Dude— give it arrest. The topic we were talking about is fires started by Islam. You’ve completely changed the subject...

    You’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

    Nobody is saying bad things aren’t happening... but your lying about one thing makes everything else you say less convincing because people will think you could be lying about that too.

    I’m very centrist and don’t have a dog in the race either way. But you’re hurting your sides argument right now.

    Against my better judgement I clicked on a the_donald link. Pleasantly surprised with the lack of racism/prejudice (keep it up!)— however, the link was to a story explaining how recent vandalism of churches is being blamed on militant secularism.... which is not Islam.

    Sincerely, it’s OK to not reply on threads where it turns out you’re just wrong. You don’t even need to apologize or clarify.
