kinda yeah. i know plenty of people who got help from this type of stuff. they do ayuascha retreat and sort through their shit and go on to do their thing. but nobody wants to hear about that, they wanna hear about the guy who got a dramatic psychosis.
A lot of scams "work", and a lot of fake medicine too.
Being into it just means that you're going to be biased , and for those things often too biased to have a proper opinion on the matter
how's ur opinion not biased if u don't know anything about it? aren't u biased in favor of objectivity?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
What u define as proof if it's people saying they feel better? Are u saying they don't?
I'm talking scientific protocol.
Furthermore, people saying they feel better isn't enough.
Most sect members will say that being a member is amazing, should we all join sects then? What is this absurdity to think that the subjective interpretation of people is what makes a medicine work?
How u objectively prove someone isn't feeling better when they say so?
