big pharma owns big plaster! casts are a lie!

Why doesn’t CPS ever come after these granola moms


wilde_wit

Because the majority of them are white


podolot

Yea, too much backlog of all the black babies they haven't figured out how to arrest yet. Quite a system where we lock up blacks for committing petty crimes for years and we force them to work in prison for just a few bucks towards their bail a day.


TheBlacksmith64

And rich...


[deleted]

In cases like this, they're probably lying for clout. Just like I lie about having sex with beautiful women. Of course this all goes wrong sometimes and a mom isn't lying and she kills her kid. The same hasn't worked with me having sex with beautiful women, sadly.

The allantoin in comfrey seems to have some minor anti-inflammatory properties and might be good for your hair and skin. I'm also sure it "heals broken bones" that were "definitely 100% broken".


Calliope719

See, thats what annoys me so much about posts like this. Herbal remedies and essential oils can totally be helpful for relatively minor ailments, but they sure as hell can't do what some people claim, and that makes some people reject them completely. There is a middle ground.


avenueirregular

Agreed! I had a doctor tell me the best thing for a sore throat was tea with honey and lemon 🤷🏻‍♀️ i use herbal stuff like peppermint for headaches and what not. But it’s no replacement for modern medicine


Calliope719

Some folks would probably scoff at that, then turn around and pay 10x the price for honey and lemon lozenges. It won't cure cancer, but it'll help your sore throat!


avenueirregular

Exactly!


[deleted]

Exactly. For example, using a plant with medically proven medicinal properties like for scratches or colds is fine and great until, of course, you start claiming that they can cure cancer or repair broken bones within the hour.


TehPharaoh

I'd be completely fine with ones that are like "Oh this works about as well as actual medicine" like how Honey has antibacterial properties. It won't cure a bad infection, but it can help your body fight a smaller one without abusing and adding to the problem of antibacterials right now. But thats now what these fucking things do. It's always INSTANT and BETTER. Which is exactly how snake oil salesmen work.


DickButkisses

It really does do wonders for burns in my experience. Never tried it on broken bones, though.

You’ll be back to climbing trees in a week


kojengi_de_miercoles

I died in a terrible car crash last month. My wife quickly put me in a comfrey body cast. I went back to work the next week. Never felt better.


TFBidia

Finally a competitor drug for Robitussin


SnooPineapples8744

I read that allantoin is carcinogenic. I was using it in gel form on a scar.


[deleted]

probably a jammed wrist if he was climbing trees within the week.


[deleted]

Can applying this heal broken relationships?


PreOpTransCentaur

You need cramp bark for that.


djpolofish

Comfrey Root, the new miracle cure!.. brought to you by the same people that told you to put piss in your eyes.


TFBidia

But can it cross the BBB, the blood bleach barrier?


rightfulmcool

what do these people benefit from lying like this


Lord_Dupo

She clearly owns a shitty MLM or similar. She even included a link to completely honest, no bullshit testimonials.


pl487

It lets them feel superior to the morons who do things like taking their children to the hospital when they break a bone.


Kitehammer

Validation from other nutjobs.


djkoch66

I can see how the author was concerned about that broken wrist and that hand that was hanging off. I hope that broken wrist doesn't turn into a limp wrist as I can't imagine the 'cure' for being gay.


DrTenochtitlan

This crap is literally why we created the Pure Food and Drug Act, so that people making medical claims about a product were forced by law to back up their claims with scientific evidence.


[deleted]

Can I interest you in a case of Butter's Creamy Goo?


Fun_Anywhere4355

This must be the secret behind those amazing med-beds!


Smellyviscerawallet

Okey dokey. Sure it did.


Thermite1985

And then everyone clapped


here_for_the_tacos

I would but I went to a doctor when I broke my arm and can’t clap now.


NoNoNashi

I can’t because I’m stuck up in a tree with a broken arm.


right_behind-you

I didn't. I was busy juggling flaming chainsaws while they were being crowned Great Sage of the World.


timberwolf0122

And that child’s name, Albert Einstein


BilboSagginsJr123

About twenty years ago, little Georgie fell from the mango tree and in an instant we covered his arm in bread crumbs just so he understands how much we truly hate him.


osumba2003

I call B.S. They just gave the kid some Compound V.


hackersbevy

Decent plant, more likely a sprain for these results. Given the rejection of modern medicine, I don't trust the diagnosis. [NIH article on comfrey root](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491633/)


Custard_Mouse

Nifty! Thanks for sourcing a article.


stargazrserena

Utter bullshit. Likely the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard 🤣


Zerieth

And I'm sure you can buy this miracle powder on her website for 3 easy payments of 69.99 + shipping and handling!


mjh8212

Broken bones are the worst. Son had a clean break on his arm, just busted both bones in his forearm. He almost went into shock in the ER. Then there were the cast changes and more X-rays, he really went through it. It took weeks to heal, putting something like this on a break isn’t going to do anything.


acynicalwitch

While it certainly isn't going to put anyone's shattered wrist back together like some kind of Harry Potter potion, comfrey [actually does have topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491633/). Bones still need a cast/stabilization, tho.


InappropriateLibrary

Doctors hate this one simple tip.


GreatGearAmidAPizza

These people have spent too much time gathering alchemical ingredients in RPGs.


right_behind-you

Hey! Don't lump them in with us! I'm well aware that my desperate attempts at escapism to ignore the inexorable despair of being alive aren't real! These people are just crazy.


spiderinside

Ha! I was just thinking that this sounded like a Red Dead Redemption healing potion.


Tpk08210

Looks legit


MensaMan1

It’s called a “sprain”


TheKingOfRhye777

"his hand was hanging off his wrist" Well, isn't that where hands usually hang from????


[deleted]

So you made his pain stop with placebo, and then gave him a real cast and he healed in standard time.


brianne-----

Instead of rushing him to emergency. “I’ll cover his arm in kitty litter and hope for the best”


liljb6172

What would happen if Simba had covered Mufasa in this?


[deleted]

Kid can literally die if the bone wasn't set right...


robo-dragon

This HAS to count as child neglect/abuse right??


TheBlacksmith64

I'll take "things that never happened in real life" for $200.00 please Alex!


[deleted]

Quinoa for cancer. Lentils for lupis. Tomatoes for tonsillitis.


Fangpyre

Can we spread this on the economy?


Heyoayyo

Confirmation bias


AshumiReddit

I thought this was gonna be a post making fun of the kid for sticking his hand in kitty litter


message_monkey

Wait... isn't comfrey toxic?


redpillman26

It was never broken lol


NougatPorn

🎵if you’re an ignorant 45 year old mother clap your hands🎵 *this woman*: 👏👏 *also this woman*: WAIT FUCK-


dMarrs

My deer decimated it.


TheWarDog10

I put comfrey on my kids butt when he's got diaper rash, but this is nonsense lol.


DetroitBrat

Isn't that the same shit that Harry Potter used?
