    I don’t really get the point of people who dispute medical diagnoses - “No sweetie, you don’t have type 2 diabetes, ThE MeDiCaL EsTaBLiShMeNt…” like, shut the hell up you vapid cretin.

      I work with a guy who genuinely believes that eating carrots improved his vision two days. Not that carrots are good for eye health in general, but that it had “healing powers” and fixed his vision. Yeahhhh okkkkk broooo……

      ADD/ADHD don’t have an established pathology. That’s why. They came up with diagnostic criteria and called it a “disorder”.

      You know how in animistic religions, they see the sun, rain, ice, fire, and decide each of those things has a god associated with it? And anything that happens involving those, gets explained in terms of the interactions of those gods?
