How about, "Don't take any medical advice from any magazine?" Now why is that? Well because it is a run of the mill magazine. I am not sure why people read and follow this stuff.


The slate article isn't providing any medical advice, it's merely telling people that they shouldn't fear synthetically manufactured medicines while being completely trusting of naturopathic ones. If anything it's telling people to be more informed, skeptical, and to use reason rather than emotion when making informed choices about medicine.


Yes, I got that. However, it is still medical advice...coming from a magazine. What to "fear", "use", or any other word you can swap in there is still the same thing....advice.
