Oh, my god. I would have wanted to slap Alt-Medicine Lady so badly. I have a Thing against people like this*.
* Between the cure-for-autism loonies that make autism sound like a fate worse than death, something that can be cured by crazy diets and creepy drugs, and caused by vaccines and the 'depression/anxiety is your fault because you don't live some Hypothetical Natural existence that I don't think real people can' crowd, I am a bit twitchy. And, hey, guess what -- my doctors tell me to eat right and exercise, and try not to drink caffeinated stuff after dinner. They also suggested I take up meds because the whole diet/exercise/counseling thing wasn't working.
I wonder if I can tell some of these people that they are causing my anxiety.
