TBI when I was 7, surgery was scheduled to reduce swelling on my brain, and she instead opted to feed me smoothies of nothing but raw spinach and water. Also took me to some kind of new age healer.
Much worse is that she wasn’t just some dyed in the wool hippie, but a fairly well known microbiologist. So she had at least a passing acquaintance with the scientific method.
That’s my mother in a nutshell.

So yeah, thanks mom.
Jesus. That’s medical neglect :(
It certainly was.

At least she got me vaccinated.
Holy shit I’m worried for (what I assume are American) scientific circles.
Idk why she’d forgo the actual medical treatments. Did she consider them risky or what?
