Just because something is "naturaaaaal" (which i doubt some of these products are anyway) doesn't mean it has no effect on your body... Why is that so difficult to understand for MLM people?
RN here. Recently had a surgical patient who’s incision wouldn’t stop bleeding. Couldn’t figure it out until another surgeon (not hers) happened to mention that turmeric supplements can cause this. Sure enough...she never stopped the turmeric because “it’s natural”.
I know this isn’t directly MLM related, but I empathise with this student. I also learned some things that will help me in my own practice. Thanks for posting.
Lol yes. I’m an RN and used to be in the Acute setting in hospital and now an in home health and yes my eyes roll anytime that sh*t gets brought up. What’s even more unfortunate is even if you try to educate them as a Nurse or let’s say you get the MD/Care team involved they are just such know it alls and too stubborn to admit that they really have no idea what kind of negative side effects they are dealing with.
