Just because it doesn't cure everything doesn't make it useless, bodybuilders do it as well to control blood pressure. Kinda like how those bubonic plague masks don't make covid masks useless.

An old saying is an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

When the cure prevents any analysis of applying prevention (even discussing it) then the cure is part of the problem.

I'm saying exactly what I said. In some cases, where a person has high blood cells, it might be a good option. Talk to your doctor first or whatever.
