Resident Evil Requiem Never Touch the Stuff Guide
Never Touch the Stuff in Resident Evil Requiem requires you to finish the main story without using herbs or med injectors. You can complete it on Casual difficulty, and it does not have a save limit. Steroids and Parlor blue injectors do not void the challenge.
If you already beat the game, you can safely attempt this in a follow up run.
What Counts As Healing
To unlock Never Touch the Stuff, you must avoid:
Herbs

Passive upgrades
Aim assist
Crafting ammo
The restriction only applies to direct healing items.

Minimalist
Speed Demon
On Casual difficulty. If you want an easier time, Casual is the best choice, especially for a no heal run.
Can You Combine It With Minimalist

Never Touch the Stuff
Minimalist
Speed Demon
This works fine on a post game run. There is no separate save limit tied to these achievements.
Does Dying Fail The Run

The only thing that fails Never Touch the Stuff is manually using herbs or med injectors. You can reload saves or die as much as needed.
Tips For A No Heal Run
Staying alive without healing is easier than it sounds if you play smart.
Use Casual difficulty
Avoid unnecessary fights
Stagger enemies instead of killing everything
Keep distance during boss fights
Save often

Final Blurb
Never Touch the Stuff sounds intimidating, but it is very manageable on Casual. As long as you avoid herbs and standard med injectors, you are safe. Steroids and Parlor upgrades are allowed, so take advantage of them.
