wow and in Germany too. You would think a good level of nation-wide education would solve such problems. seems like not.
German loves homeopathy actually
@iAvicenna@lemmy.world
Homeopathy was created in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Hahnemann
"Around the start of the nineteenth century, Hahnemann developed a theory, propounded in his 1803 essay On the Effects of Coffee from Original Observations, that many diseases are caused by coffee."
Lol seems to me the guy produced just a bunch of random bullshit to see if any of it sticks. Although to be fair medicine around 1800s was probably mostly bullshit.
“Best” part of this is that our public health insurance pays out for this nonsense. Some providers allow you to opt out but I don’t think the majority of Germans bother.
The Nazis and (racial) pseudo science. Name a more iconic duo.
But even before that, health at least to a certain degree, has become a product. This is the breeding ground for these kind of people.
It's a problem here. Studied apothecaries are peddling that bullshit as medicine. Most health insurances even pay for that shit.
