19th century physicians heroically self-dosing. But I'm baffled by mention of homeopathy, the hoax in which you should expect ZERO molecules of the announced compound to appear in the dose. Like vermouth in an extremely dry martini, except not so overwhelmingly vermouth-saturated. Not even vaguely tainted. "Wave the gin-filled martini glass in the direction of France" as Winston Churchill or some wit put it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., independent challenger for president and anti-vaccine activist, now confirmed secretary of the dept of Health and Human Services (HHS), has a cockamamie solution for drug addicts and people who use medication for depression or ADHD: strip people of their tech gadgets and send them to government-funded "wellness farms" to grow organic food. | You know, kinda like labor camps. This kind of simplistic thinking of course ignores the millions of ‘coping’ folks who go to work daily, support themselves and often families, but depend on their meds for #Depression or #ADHD. So myopic. #PublicHeath #HHS #RFKjr #psychiatry #psychology #neurodivergent #quackery
