Patterns
False Dichotomy
A false dichotomy collapses a genuinely complicated medical question into exactly two options, one framed as brave and natural, the other as toxic and compliant. Every option in between quietly disappears.

Wellness funnels use this to make their protocol the only alternative to a strawman: "pharma poison or my supplement," "stay sick or go natural with me." The binary sells because a real decision tree does not fit on a slide.
