I think any pediatrician would be happy to see unvaccinated kids. So they can vaccinate them and keep them safe.

I like essential oils. I add them to a homemade beard balm to make my face smell nice all day. I like prescription drugs, too. Weird to mention those two in the same sentence, but OK.
There are plenty of essential oils that smell really nice, and are nice to have in soaps or candles or whatever, but I just can't bring myself to give money to any of the companies that make them cause they all support crazies and pseudoscience. If there's a company that doesn't, I'd love to hear about it.
I like a couple of drops in shea butter for my skin and in a bath with Epsom salts for relaxing tight muscles and the scent relaxes the mind and makes me smell good.
Epsom salts don't do anything for muscles: https://www.painscience.com/articles/epsom-salts.php
There are a ton of references in the article.

I mean, concentrating the good thing and removing the crap is the basis of medical care.
You know what we call alternate medicine that is proven to work? Medicine. If it worked we wouldn't need "alternate".
I always try to point out that "alternative" means it's something different than. Like an alternative to something that helps. You wouldn't eat "alternative food." Because it's not food.
Alternative meat?

Is beard balm like Dapper Dan hair wax?

I love how "snake oil" literally became a shorthand for a medical scam that does nothing. Then millions of people one day just decided the "snake" part was the only problem.
There has always been a portion of the population willing to buy the snake oil.
The cocaine and heroin did something.
That was sold by doctors though, not snake oil salesmen
Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooo.
"I went through seven years of medical school and residency so I can listen to some asshole yoga mom on Facebook who made measles a thing again!" Said no pediatrician ever.
But, but, haven't you seen this post on Facebook?!?
In Germany such doctors are all over the place and embedded within the statutory health care system. It was a huge shock to me, when I first arrived here. Their health care system has been a huge let down, in general, but this was beyond crazy to me. Sometimes, if you are not careful you go to a pharmacy or a doctor's clinic and you get prescribed snake oil voodoo medicine, if you are not careful.
the issue is that most of the worlds' ~~placebo~~ homeopathic globoli production happens in one region of Germany, and these industries have yes money to lobby shit, at least if you avoid the doctor's offices that look like a 70s new-wave nostalgia trip you can be sure to avoid 90% of these idiots
Wanted: bad pediatrician, for kids you don’t care about.
Several years ago at my kids’ pediatrician’s office they hired a new doc. As soon as she started advocating raw milk I knew that was the last time we’d be visiting that office.
Omigod. You can't even get raw milk where I live.
I've had raw milk twice in my life, once straight from the tank at the dairy. I hate how astronomically delicious it is. I wish we could have it safely cuz damn. I can't even credibly compare it to pasteurized when it comes to taste.

Crackpot theory: pictured poster is trying to do a twin study, giving one twin medical care in accordance to generally accepted best practices and the other almond mom style care but they want to control variables by having them see the same doctor. I look forward to reading their study when they publish it in 2-18 years depending on if the one participant survives
almond mom
Typically white suburban moms who were 90s girls and never accepted they had an eating disorder, so now they have to make it everyone else’s problem
“A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips is my almond moms favorite mantra”

PSA: keep essential oils away from your cats. Don't pit them in them, and especially don't use those vaporizers. Most of those oils are toxic to cats. If you want your house to smell nice, burn incense.
If you don't have cats, go wild; there's nothing wrong with the oils themselves, and they smell nice. But many are toxic to cats, and it can be hard to get a complete list of which.
Neither are going to protect or cure you of anything (except, perhaps, a cat infestation), but scent can be nice.
Incense and smelling nice is combination I never thought I'd see.
So, of course there's absolutely preference, but there's only one hard rule about incense: you have to be the inner burning it. Walking into a room full of incense that someone else picked and burned is rarely fun. Strong scents like that depend a lot on mood to be pleasing. It's like a curry at the office: if you're the one having it, it can smell great, but walking into a break room filled with the smell of someone else's curry they just heated in the microwave can be nauseating.
So, why do these child abusers even want to see a doctor when they don’t believe in medicine?
"Can anyone recommend a local shaman...?" would've been more like it.
I went to see the doctor
He said, "You're pretty sick
You got some real bad habits
You'd better stop right quick"
I said, "Doctor, that's real bad news
Don't know what I'm gonna do"
Doctor, there's nothin' wrong with me
Doctor, doctor, can't you see?
Doctor, I ain't gonna die
Just write me an alibi
I went to see a shaman
He said, "You'll be alright
Just keep doin' what you love
Every single night"
I said, "That's what I need to hear"
Took away my childish fears
Doctor, you're a stand up guy
Doctor, doctor, my, oh my
Doctor, you're the one for me
That's the mojo that I need
Most likely trying to get documentation for their kids so they can go get sick at school.

What a fucking idiot
I haven't been to medical school, but i found this website and now i believe...
You'd have only slightly worse luck finding one that encourages the use of tobacco.
It’s like the Enlightenment didn’t happen.
No because they don't want your kids smearing varicella all over their waiting room and killing all the kids with cancer.
I want to hear the long, raging, cathartic answer to feel better.
I hate them all so much and wish COVID had wiped out more of the obnoxious ones.
