@Countrywoman If you sell stuff for "health" and it KILLS people or EATS OFF THEIR FACE... should face charges, right?

@NerdyOkieDude A woman dies , taking a fake medicine , for cancer , and it's a big noteworthy story . Thousands of people are taking chemo for cancer and dying daily , but that's no big deal , because the medical establishment tells us that's the proper thing to do . Chemo may work for some people , but it's a horrible treatment with a lot of nasty side effects , and a lot of patients die anyhow , even after surviving it . Sometimes , simple treatments work as well or even better than the treatments advised by the medical profession . The medical profession is told by the pharmacies what to advise the patients to use . Of course they advise the doctors to use the products they are selling . And sometimes , what the pharmacies are advising are not in our best interests . Examples : In my preteen years , my Mother took me to a dentist , who decided I needed fillings . My brother felt we were getting a lot more fillings than we actually needed and refused to go . I was obedient and went . For decades afterwards , my gums were sore , swollen , and bleeding ( and itchy ) , because , the dentists told me , I wasn't taking proper care of them . After decades , I learned that I was allergic to the amalgium the dentists had used to fill my teeth . The , " cure , " was to have all my fillings removed and replaced with porcelin fillings . Example 2. When I was pregnant with my first child , my doctor recommended I take a pill the pharmacutical agent had just told him about to prevent morning sickness . A few months after my daughter was born , the CDC made a nation wide announcement on the nightly news . that a LOT of newborns were being born missing fingers, toes , arms , legs , eyes , and even genitelia due to Thorsoamide pills being taken during the early stages of development .

@NerdyOkieDude I can tell my own medical experiences , which affected a massive portion of the population , which you can easily check out online for yourself , and you think you can intimidate me by using big words and stupidity ? Here's another true life adventure . Several decades ago , the doctors of California went on strike . No elective surgeries were performed , only emergency procedures were done . Amazingly , the death rate in California significantly dropped for the duration of the strike . Historically , not everything that has ever been tried , has actually worked . Some do . Those things are passed on to the following generations . Some foods and herbs have had a positive effect for thousands of years . And sometimes , the medical establishment will even use those same predefined herbs and minerals to make salable medications of their own . But some things can't be patented , so they create lies about using alternative measures . My doctors have prescribed , for instance , iron and D3 pills for me . Those can be bought OTC in drug stores and even grocery stores . Same thing for less money . As far as that goes , you can cross our borders and buy medications in Canada and Mexico , which are manufactured in this country , by the same manufactures , using the same ingredients , but pay less , because you crossed the border . It's called marketing or advertising . You've been played . I don't expect to change your mind , at least not over night . I am hoping you will at least open your eyes . The thorosimide (sp) , was created in Germany in 1957 and was being used in Germany by 1958 . It was being used in England in the early 1960's. I was offered this pill in 1962 . I chose not to take it . My daughter was born with all the standard issue equipment . Many , many others were not . Not all OTC's are snake oil , some have been successfully used for thousands of years . Some produced medications , don't work , some are even harmful to your health .

@NerdyOkieDude Believe what you want to believe . You offered absolutely NO confirmed information what-so-ever . I offered information which I have had to deal with personally and is also easy to prove to yourself online . You offered no proof of any kind what-so-ever , nor did you bother to research either your position or mine . The only thing you have offered is your uneducated opinion . I'm tired of dealing with this .

@Cast1es I don't think you quite understand the difference between alternative homeopathy and medicine. Medicine has undergone stringent scientific experimentation to determine its affectiveness. That research, has been replicated again and again and scrutinated by peers before accepted. And it doesn't end there. If a new alternative is found and tested with even stronger affects, it will supercede the previous medicine used.
Homeopathy has not undergone this rigorous research. Homeopathic methods are not published in reputable science magazines because there is no empirical evidence. It is believed in by the faithful.....just like religion.

hearsay isn't evidence.

@Commonsense Probably

sometimes modern medicines make situations worse like this too depending on the person.
