Good crooks should be held accountable

I sold medical books for a decade to all medical personnel. A leading world publisher. I recall attending the homeopathy conference and the huge push was to colon cleanse. Oh my all people had to clean our their digestive system,
Two decades later, real medicine provides proof we, the human, need the so called bad bacteria. We are not a simple species formed from dirt and god. We are merely a unit of various relationships with with organisms working in concert to make a human live. When we die, it is bye bye time, as our bodies return to energy.

None of it is regulated. I'm going to start selling urine from the Golden Tibetan Rhino Shrew. Slap $30 a box and cranial-rectal inversiontosis.

I honestly thought there had been testing that showed it worked, but apparently not? We've had it work sometimes, & sometimes not.

homeopathy works for what it works for. cancer is one of the many things that it does NOT work for. goldenseal works GREAT for the stuff i use it for. i wouldn't use it for cancer, or for diptheria, or e-coli, but when my ibs acts up, or if i have a cut or sore, it's fabulous. the problem with homeopathy is that it's not one thing, and it's also not a panacea, and it's touted as one thing, and further touted as a SUBSTITUTE for all medicine-as-we-know-it -- which is NOT all scientifically proven, by the way. fda approves things according to its own little criteria, which may be as much economic as science-based (maybe moreso, in fact) and some substances with real potential, even scientifically proven potential, are held at bay by special interests such as the alcohol and tobacco industries. what i think of most of what is presented as homeopathic medicine? quack quack quack. but lots of legitimate stuff gets lumped in there and badmouthed along with it.

Steve Jobs might still be alive had he not delayed scientifically proven treatments, when diagnosed with a rare, but treatable form of pancreatic cancer. Instead, he tried 'alternative medicine' (juices, acupuncture, 'spiritual healers' and other things he found on the internet) for nine months before finally listening to his physicians. By then, the cancer had spread.

Sometimes what the medical groups sell us doesn't work either . Sometimes , it even makes things worse . Sometimes , using things that have been used for thousands of years , actually have a positive effect . When I was young and pregnant for the first time , my doctor recommended a drug for morning sickness , that the pharmasutical agent had just told him about . This was 1962 . Several months after my daughter was born , the CDC made a Nation wide announcement on the evening news . Mothers who took this medication , were giving birth to children born without fingers , toes , hands , feet , arms , legs , eyes , or genitilia . Today , a salesman was in my home , talking to me about fencing . He was scratching his hands and arms due to mosquitoe bites . I went to my kitchen and brought him a soaked cotton cosmetic pad , and told him to wipe everywhere that itched. WIthin a minute or so , he had no more itches . My secret ? Apple cider vinegar . Cheap , fast , effective , easy to acquire , and no side effects . Told him to carry a small bottle , and some cotton cosmetic pads , in his car .

My best friend truly believes in this. She's always giving me remedies. They are expensive. I haven't heard had any results but my grandson took a remedy for bed wetting and it worked tremendous ly well. Maybe it was placebo effect but he quit wetting the bed.

Dawkins got it.
