You know who loves and benefits from all the woo woo, crystals-and-herbs, crunchy chemophobic alternative medicine bullshit?
Big pharma and for-profit healthcare.
Turning health purely into an individual consumptive choice based around each person's individual "research" is the purest possible attack on any notion of public health and promoting the general welfare. It's the smartest, most submerged way for US companies to defend against the specter of universal healthcare and a vehicle for companies in developed nations to propagandize against their universal healthcare systems. These companies can work to get people on both ends: sell people actual medicine and then get into the supplement game to sell the snake oil. Everything from vaccine denialism to anti-transgender medicine hysteria to Covid denialism all further entrenches the power of capitalists over all our health.
