Yet Another Waste of Your Tax Dollars

(and mine too).

Vitamin's Don't Work (Again)

They are trying to drive home the point that you should instead get cut up, irradiated, and pilled to death at your expense and their profit.

OK now. We need well trained doctors who care. Everyone deserves to make a buck. However, fleecing sick people was never meant to be a moral or ethical business. Some of these medicines work, and others simply do not. There is a list called the WHO Essential Medicines list on which some of them work well, and others do not. This is the conventional global physician's armamentarium. Take a deep look into what they are and which ones really do something and which ones are the best we can come up with.

The fact is that the NIH libraries are chock full of studies that the media simply can't digest and share with the public regarding natural products, nutrients, and their intersection with prevention and therapy of chronic disease.

It is criminal to mislead people either way. Medicine shouldn't be a religion or a politic. I personally don't believe in championing any system in particular for its intellectual/philosophical/political aesthetic. What works well should be truthfully listed as doing such. What doesn't work should not be glossed over as a panacea just because there are millions of dollars at stake. Empirically, I have found that many natural products do work for myself and others when used properly and in the right context. Don't expect vitamin C to bring someone back from the dead, but also don't expect chemotherapy to be a wonder cure.
