There is a risk here we are not talking about; Some significant number of people die every year trying low risk solutions to high risk problems, while not being qualified to judge risk.

Probiotics, tinctures, vitamins and a gluten free diet basically killed a friends mother who spent years on these things while her undiagnosed stomach cancer spread everywhere.

The issue as i see it, is that there is profit to be made stringing people along from one 'cheap and harmless shot in the dark' to the next.
