Mom forces 16-year-old daughter to take 700 mg of magnesium per day, gets angry when doctor agrees with daughter's claim that she should only take 350 mg a day: 'I turned to my mom and said "I told you so."'

Someone needed to tell her she was wrong, and she wasn't going to listen to her daughter.

No matter how much school you've attended and how many years you've practiced as a doctor, there will always be some mom with an internet connection who thinks she knows better about medicine than you. It's not a mortal sin to use the internet to look up your symptoms and try to figure them out before seeking medical treatment, but you cannot treat a random article or an AI-generated search result as the gospel truth. It fails to consider all the factors at play, and the internet cannot prescribe you treatment the way a doctor can.

People who follow a crunchy lifestyle do so because they prefer not to rely on doctors, or they've had negative experiences with medical professionals in the past and want to make their own decisions about their health. This community often claims to've researched to support their medical choices, but that research usually doesn't extend beyond social media, where uninformed individuals affirm each other's unconventional approaches to self-care. It's no wonder the mom in this story thinks that she's right, and her daughter and her doctor are wrong.
