I get it. I worked in the medical field for many years before I had my kids. I’ve learned more in the years since the “pandemic” doing my own research and trying natural therapies having my own new issues because of the freak scientists and having to find the alternatives that really work. There is so much quackery in medicine. I saw it when I worked in the field I just didn’t know what it was until 2020. Silver linings my friend.

I am having such pleasure reading research papers on PubMed (I know, I know, it's a govt tool). These days as I work in my yard, I look at a plant and think, "hmm--what might be the medicinal use of this?"--to my (initial, but no longer) surprise, every query I enter gets me good information. With references which I can look into. This is a really rewarding time to be interested in herbal treatments--30 years ago information was so scarce.

So, do you attribute that to higher frequency of relevant medicinal use papers to some big disgust of big pharma, or a long awaited dearth of this info for some reason? Try to tease out what you are really trying to say.

Repeatedly the paper authors point to a loss of effectiveness in currently available pharmaceuticals, and the need to look at plants (where so many---perhaps all--pharma products began) for new drug possibilities.
