Ok I'm tired of this bullshit*t. But in any case, I'll indulge your sealioning nonsense. Yes, people were "treated" in ancient times with herbs and roots and rituals. They also routinely died at age 30 from diarrhea, a scratched knee, or a tooth infection. The argument that modern medicine is "overrated" because ancient people used "jadi buti" (herbs) relies on a spectacular cocktail of logical fallacies and errors in critical thinking. Saying "people managed back then" completely ignores the astronomical infant death rates and the millions who died in agony from infections that a basic antibiotic cures today in 48 hours or a simple drug prevents complications of in this era. You are looking only at the lucky survivors, not the overflowing ancient graveyards. This is your Survivorship Bias. The assumption that because something is old, it must be wise, effective, or true is common human stupidity. Bloodletting, drilling holes in skulls to release demons, and drinking mercury were also ancient medical traditions. Age is a measure of endurance, not of scientific validity. This is your Appeal to Antiquity Fallacy. The romanticized notion that "natural herbs" are inherently safer than "chemical tablets" is an idiocy that never dies in the minds of alternative medicine sympathizers like yourself. Nature is not your friend; it is actively trying to kill you just like "all natural" Ayurveda is too. When an ancient remedy passes rigorous scientific tests, it stops being "alternative medicine" and simply becomes medicine. But when a traditional treatment fails these tests, a rational, scientific system discards it. A dogmatic business promoting system keeps selling it anyway, pointing to 2,000-year-old texts as "proof." Also there is no modern Ayurveda. Ayurveda is, was, and always will be primitive medeival dmbfckery. Hope this was sensible enough. Please don't waste my time anymore.
