Since there is no financial incentive from pharma, we severely lack actual studies that would point to natural remedies and diet to cure ailments.
Especially when it comes to pregnant women’s options of herbs, supplements, etc. we have almost no info on what is safe and helpful vs. what will cause negative effects on the baby. Basically we’re relegated to guessing. For example, can we drink “golden milk”? Is intermittent fasting good or bad? What affect does the keto/carnivore diet have on pregnancy, menopause, etc.
It would be good for big pharma’s funds to the FDA to go toward the study of how natural ingredients could solve issues so we don’t only have drugs as options.
