GreenMedInfo's "natural substances vs. drugs" index keeps quietly getting bigger

A Perplexity Search community post describes GreenMedInfo's research dashboard spanning over 108,000 study abstracts across six major indexes — plus one section that doesn't fit any of them. That outlier is titled "Superiority of Natural Substances vs. Drugs," sits inside a developing Keywords database, and already lists over 180 natural substances. A separate section, "Natural Substances versus Drugs," adds another 400 studies tied to 300 diseases where natural and conventional treatments show at least equivalent potency. The site also claims over 10,000 database nodes in total.

Gobble's Take: At some point "fringe" stops fitting when the filing system alone has 10,000 nodes. Source: Perplexity Search (community news)

A public health scientist watches the cottage-herb videos anyway

In an Unbiased Science Substack essay, a public health scientist with a doctorate admits she watches every single video posted by a woman on her For You page — wild curly hair, whimsical dresses, a fairy-tale garden, and Practical Magic playing softly in the background while she walks you through what she grows, dries, and steeps. The author spent her career in vaccines, data, and the unglamorous machinery of evidence. She describes herself as landing somewhere in the middle these days, with a few crunchy-ish habits — including, occasionally, making her own oat milk.

Gobble's Take: The algorithm doesn't sell you an argument. It sells you a mood — and apparently the mood works on epidemiologists too. Source: Unbiased Science | Substack
