The business side of “Big Pharma” is the problem not the people on the frontline doing the actual R&D like pharmacists, biomedical engineers, and chemical engineers. Sincerely, a biomed student 🥰

The homeopathic/wellness/ etc industry does what they can to make billions and do not have to have any actual evidence. Many studies have been done and rarely show anything above a placebo. There are a few herbs, roots, barks, etc based things that do have research demonstrate some effectiveness but in that research we figured out the chemical creating the effect and what dosage works and what is dangerous.
As an aside the research into placebo effect is extremely fascinating.

Basically, “Big Pharma” is about the people that make the prices - not the expert scientists and such

People also need to understand that alternative medicine and herbal medicine is NOT the same as homeopathic “medicine”. Alternative medicine has varying levels of actual effectiveness and are often accepted as alternatives to western medicine in mild conditions and add-ons to improve quality of life in more significant conditions. But all herbal medicine can interact with mainstream medicine and should be disclosed to doctors to prevent harm/interactions.

If you go back through history, they actually purposely pushed out natural medicine and did not do research because it would not make them money, I’m not fully homeopathic, but I don’t really trust the ”science” behind them anyway… checks and balances are not real, donor approved studies is actually what’s going on here

Someone’s anecdotal experience doesn’t outweigh evidence based research.

Homoeopathic products are crazy expensive & the "doctors" are no better than big pharma when it comes to making profits for themselves.
