It rather amazes me the number of people who are suspicious of the pharma industry, who then turn around and put total and absolute faith in the supplement industry.
It is not that hard to understand. Often, this perspective is not based upon anything empirical about the pharmaceutical or supplement products themselves, but on lack of trust of institutions. Many people in the alternative health community deeply distrust our healthcare system, big pharma & our governing institutions as a whole, and gravitate toward solutions just because they are alternative to what they distrust.
I think it's more being able to try something out that you don't have to go through a lot of gatekeeping to get access to, and sometimes it makes you feel better and sometimes it doesn't but at least you didn't have to pay thousands of dollars for it and it doesn't work anyway. If it's a $20 placebo, great, if it makes you feel better.
