Note- I am not against Alternative Medicine entirely. This is Issue #2 of my Translation Guide series
| Naturopathic Language | Rationalist Translation |
|---|---|
| "Homeopathy has no side effects" | Because it is no different than drinking tap water |
| "Alternative medicine will cure cancer because Chemo failed" | Alternative medicine will actually cure excess wallet cash while giving false hope |
| "Herbal Medicine is safe because it is natural" | Appeal to nature; don't forget that the poison Night Shade is natural, will you ingest that too? |
| "This natural medicine is chemical free" | Ignoring all of Chemistry considering EVERYTHING is a chemical |
| "Dragon bones will cure AIDS" | Might as well eat a rock, same physiological effect |
| "Big Pharma is evil because they only care about money" | Yeah, because natural medicine companies have absolutely no intention of lying and making money off their lies (Insert Sarcasm) |
| "Naturopaths are good because they take extra time with patients" | Fine and dandy but all you are given is useless "medications" that are unregulated and may be dangerous |
