Are americans really against stem cells? This saved my mother's knee.
Chronic Illness
A community for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
I'd be excited about his fascist base offing themselves on this shit

TIL the FDA aggressively suppresses the sun and exercise, somehow.
Hell, when it really comes down to it, they don't surpress things like psychedelics or stem cells, either. In so far as the FDA is involved at all, it's in following mandates from congress. Those things are suppressed as a matter of policy that's much broader than the FDA.
You can burn a lot of calories and get a lot of vitamin D from cutting the head off of a beached whale. The FDA is terrified of how this is not patentable.
Exercise suppression is delegated to car-brained urban planners who design single-zoned suburbs without sidewalks where the only way to get exercise is to explicitly make it a consumer activity by driving to a gym to uselessly walk on a treadmill
It's not just urban planners; it's also the Federal Housing Administration, which created lending guidelines back in the day that redlined all the dense traditional development.
It's more about not promoting their positives.
You mean the guy that had worms eat a portion of his brain might not be all there? What?!
The sun is shining but no shadow is cast.
I thought the pro lifers hated the idea of harvesting stem cells?
There’s also some alternative medicine grifters trying to claim stem cells can cure anything. (What they call stem cells is basically just taking cells from people’s right arm and injecting it into their left arm).
Actual stemcell therapy is revolutionary for a few illnesses but doesn’t change much for the rest. But some alternative medicine grifters are trying to capitalise on the hype the name has.
I’m guessing Kennedy believes in the grifters, whose “therapy” has been rejected FDA approval because the is no evidence it works at all.
This guy is such a moron
Wasn't there a crazy amount of Americans getting sick from raw milk when that mental illness had its 15min over there?
Yes, pasteurisation is generally regarded as a massive breakthrough for a reason
Thev raw milk wackos are right that raw milk is much tastier than Supermarket milk, but that's because of homogenization, not pasteurization.
A local farm here has "unprocessed" milk that is still pasteurized, and it's absolutely amazing, like drinking a desert. And best of all, it won't kill you.
The only merit raw unpasteurized milk has is that you can make some damned good cheese and butter with it, but that's controlled fermentation so the risk of getting sick is low.
So I do wish raw milk was more available, just not on supermarket shelves(because idiots will drink that shit)
Yes, that shit is AMAZING...I drink it like a fine brandy
*dessert
(brain-worms screech disapprovingly)
Even worse, farms that don't use things like antiparasitics can allow for milk to transfer parasite eggs, and sometimes live parasites, in the milk. Behind the Bastards did a great episode on the beginnings of the Pure Food and Drug Act, and one of the incidents that was mentioned was that occasionally, before large-scale pasteurization, you would get milk that was literally writhing with worms.
You're welcome for that thought just before lunch.
It's just milk bundled with a special friend :)
I may not have the whole picture, but a man previously brain-infected by worms is lowering the barriers and advocating for a vector for more brain worms?
I've seen this movie.
...Goddammit, RFK has a Yeerk in his brain, doesn't he.
Yeah, raw milk being in this list is just weird.
Excuse me, but I've seen several people undergo chelation due to heavy metal poisoning, and one of them said "if I didn't have kids, I'd probably prefer dying to this". Who in their right mind would do that for no reason?
And I just answered my own question
Hydroxy chloroquine not being patented by pharma, what a pathetic moron
Isn't it a drug from the 50s? The patent would have expired decades ago.
He has one point I do agree though... Psychedelics should not be banned and get proper study for everything related to mental issues.
There's a lot we don't know and there are a lot of studies world wide who do agree that psychedelics in controlled environment can elevated some symptoms; fear of death for terminal ill persons, hard drugs addiction, anxiety, depression... among others.
But hey, just take your SSRI from big pharma which most of the time does worst than help ! (Personal experience).
I do an annual camping trip with a big hike to a fairly high point in the area. Most years the group and I will take a small dose of psychedelics. It almost feels like some sort of pilgramage. The fresh air, the wind through the trees, the accomplishment of the hike, the exercise, it is all great and the psychedelics just seem to bundle it all together.
That's nice !!

Yeah that's mostly my experience :) It's somehow "freeing" your mental constructions and you're just there in the present moment !
However don't fall into the trap of doing it every time while hiking and being in the fresh air !
I agree, but neither should we be selling it in the supermarket.
Of course, there's a huge range of options between those two.
Let them drink raw milk and shoot bleach into their veins. The issue is self solving.
The problem with that is that they're gonna murder their children (and other dependants) with this shit.
They already do that with "religious freedom"...which, btw, liberals have insisted that we "respect their beliefs"
Drinking raw milk also is a likely method for humans catching this dangerous bird flu that's been making all the cows sick
True
