I am very open to being wrong, but Black people have always treated themselves for ~certain~ things outside of the US medical system.
So, maybe some things will work for some people and sometimes will do so outside of “science” that is often situated in antiblackness, anyway.

Most of us can’t literally cannot get tested. I don’t necessarily see what’s wrong with people at least ~trying~ age-old remedies.

If it doesn’t work for them, at least they tried something they had access to?

Is that wrong? Genuine question
