And even if they do, unless they have a license they cannot "treat themselves" It's posts like this one that do more harm than good by implying that people can become an expert after a "google search"
And I'll use AAPS as an example of ridiculous "research"---
"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is an ultra-right-wing non-profit association that promotes medical disinformation, such as HIV/AIDS denialism, the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis, vaccine and autism connections, and homosexuality reducing life expectancy."
And this is the site cited for "lots of information"

Problem is many people may not realize they are getting advice from sites such as this and have no idea they are receiving misinformation.
