fighting off the uncommon illnesses that strike us. If we wer accept and teach Vitalism we'd save ourselves a lot of time, grief, and effort in diagnosing and caring for the ill. We'd be able to catch illnesses as they form, as appoed to after they take hold, giving us greater ability to prevent and/or preemptivly treat them. This would lower medical costs and allow medical professionals to focus on the more serious cases, not patient x with a sore throat. Vitalism would also help lower the amount of unnessicary set backs modern medicines never ending side effects. Instead of diet change you get used to, you get a pill that kills your kidnease and liver, and still have to go back for crème because the “medicine” gives you rashes.
Alas however this switch probably wont happen because it would damage the medical industry, drug industry and lower the job pool of medica professionals because the number of doctors helping patiant x would be nearly 0. Not to mention all the over the over the counter drug companies that would suffer if the currative powers of honey, will bark and red clover.
