Thank you, I wish more people would get this. Access to healthcare is privilege, and full of it's own problems. Also, everyone crying pseudoscience in this thread is just flat out wrong in this case - turmeric is one of the most heavily studied supplements these days, and has been shown to be an effective anti-inflammatory and beneficial for autoimmune diseases, which is exactly what was claimed by the Instagram doctor referenced in the article.
I left a comment elsewhere in this post, full of studies on the subject.
