My family has been duped by faith healers, and even though they have different political beliefs than me, it's been horrifying to watch them slowly kill themselves from something completely preventable.
It has instilled distrust and refusal of modern medicine into them, so my da (who suffered a massive heart attack years ago) has been arguing with his doctor and only takes asprin now.
My dear mother (considered uneducated and "only a mother and wife" by my da) suffered a stroke within the last few years, and LUCKILY has realized that she has too much shit to care for to take the risk.
The worst was recently.. my aunt went to the hospital last month where they told her she should have her gallbladder removed. She refused. And is still refusing. She is going to a """holistic Christian nutritionist""" who sells his time & some supplements. We are all just waiting for that phone call.
You wanna see some fucked up shit? Check out the "Be In Health" ministry, that led my family to this. https://www.beinhealth.com/for-my-life/
Also led to my mental and emotional abuse when I couldn't shake my "sin" enough to be "normal". I am still suffering from the trauma as an adult. Hint: I'm neurodivergent.
