why would we use a plant pharmaceutical to treat a problem if we're not getting to the root cause the only time we would do that is like we would ideally do it in medicine when we actually can't correct the root cause or the symptoms are so severe that we absolutely have to treat the symptoms but the overarching ethos in medicine we hope clone isn't always this way is that we should correct the root cause and too often I think we get confused or sold this false narrative that plant molecules are correcting the root cause when in fact they're really just ameliorating symptoms they're affecting symptoms in a certain way and they're going to have side effects just like suitable molecules that are synthetic have side-effects which is my main problem here
