So you now how some pepole always try to find natural alternatives to health problems instead of taking medication in order to reduce side effects , i was like this too but now i realize it makes zero sense logically. For example for balding , if you take finasteride and get side effects it because low dht can cause side effect, its not like the medication is evil or the scientists were stupid and accidentally made the medication cause side effects. So if you take a natural approach and do saw palmetto for example, you might not get sides if fin gave you but in reality its just because its far less effective at lowering dht. Finasteride literally did what it had to do, lower dht, its a perfect execution of your demand, but the demand which in that case is low dht may give side effects.
Another example is antihistamines, lets say you were given an oral antihistamine medication and got side effects (it’s rare ik) , you go on tiktok and some dickhead tells you to take quercetin because its natural. The reality is that you maybe not get side effects from quercetin , but that will be because it was much less effective at lowering histamine, once again the medication isn’t evil, it literally does what it needs to perfectly, reduce histamine, that maybe can give side effects, so quercetin isn’t doing you a favor, in reality it’s just much less effective at lowering histamines so maybe for this individual no side effect occurs. The button line is: medication does what it needs to do perfectly, it maybe cause side effects because what you needed for example lowering a hormone in your body, that itself can bring side effects. Maybe natural compounds give less side effect but that is because they are much less effective at doing their work.
I have put a lot of effort into this piece of writing. Please read thoroughly and take it seriously and help my understanding my thoughts and their accuracy.
