Hey don’t tie Doug Henning to your meme, he was an amazing magician!
And he ran under the most hilarious political party ticket ever, in the UK of all things.
Eh. This day and age it should be a fatass with a maga hat and a Trump brand bible. They still do the dumbass oils though.
Essential oils don’t really deserve the hate. Yes, anyone who imagines they can replace actual medicine is fucking stupid and also a horrible person if they do that to their own child, no doubt. But we shouldn’t act like they do absolutely nothing. Things like oils and herbs can be used to treat small problems and supplement medicine, and do work when used correctly for the correct problem.
That being said, I think that today’s antivaxxers are less stereotypical hippies and more christofascists and trads.
They’re actually an environmental nightmare. It takes 10000 pounds of rose petals to make a single pound of rose oil, for example. They are poisonous to aquatic life and house pets, flammable, lavender and tea tree oils are endocrine disruptors. I don’t know what problems you think they solve, but I only ever used peppermint oil when I worked in ER and someone rolled in who had shit their pants, a couple of drops inside a mask and you can continue working without throwing up.
Yeah, it is insane once you have family members who have started to sip from the kool-aid. I feel like it is a lost cause, even when you have objective proof, they say their feelings still triumph your evidence
I love the title.

You get Doug Henning out of your mouth right now! That man was a human gem.
Yes it also happened in my Canadian city last spring, the first in decades. Unvaccinated of course. FAFO.
