So, as I’m surfing the web earlier today, I happened upon the “Health & Healing” discussion forum at www.craigslist.com, which is basically a typical fun Internet free for all.
Lots of folks with lots of opinions on there.
Anyway, I came across one post from a user going by the name of “dlwhiz” that expressed the following.
“I need to find natural cures for high blood pressure. Anyone have a cure, pills are not working, they make me sick.”
There was of course a plethora of answers from all sorts of folks. These anonymous Internet posters offered all sorts of advice basically ranging from “Quit being so lazy, get some exercise!” to “Use some different medicines” to “Try these great herbal remedies!” (I’m paraphrasing here to capture the general tone of most of the posts…these aren’t actual verbatim quotes)
Some of the answers I read were better than others, but most of them had one glaringly huge flaw, one which as a physician I saw immediately and which I think most physicians would similarly pick up on immediately.
What was this horrible flaw?
