When it comes to stuff for skin, or a supplement of something that I already ingest I'm less skeptical about it workings because id be consuming it anyways.

I got the idea for using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide off this site. It features user reviews on using natural remedies for a ton of common ailments. Right now I'm drinking a cup of warm cayenne pepper tea to deal with a sore throat I'm having.
The natural remedies work most of the time for me. For those without health insurance, it's a godsend. Also great for annoying problems that don't really need immediate medical attention.
I hear the term "natural remedies' and my bullshit detector goes into overdrive. This is probably a knee jerk reaction to the endless amount of crap out there, but I've decided to give a remedy that comes highly recommended off the site a try.
Because quite frankly, I have nothing left to loose.
Most Americans are skeptical of anything deemed natural or organic, to them they think it's all a bunch of B.S. or a scam. Those very same people will blindly pop whatever pill their doctor gives them, or not stop to think what's in their food, where it came from, and how it got there....
Natural things are how nature intended it, it's only been in the past 80 or so years that we've gotten all these synthetic chemicals and whatnot.
My mom has "natural health" magazines and most of them are just advertisements for snake-oil type things that claim to cure something, these advertisements are also interspersed with articles about how "big pharma" is shoving untested "chemicals" (another word which gets a knee jerk reaction from people) down your throat for profits. Which is the exact purpose of the magazine and its advertisements, so shove some kind of "natural" remedy down your throat. Not saying you should go out and pound down whatever your doctor tells you to, just do some research before you take anything many doctors have a paid adgenda to push pills too.
