Do you understand the importance of the randomised control trial in determining the TRUTH about a medication. Without it, there would never be advancement of knowledge, Its essential drugs are tested in this manner

I'm not against drug testing, but St Jon's wort and all the other herbs are just arbitrary idiotic unscientific self destruction.

Hear, hear!

I recommend the actual health care system as I experienced in Canada, even though I was a foreigner there. I bet British is very similar to the Canadian. My supervisor had a triple bypass in his late sixties, did not have to wait for it as the American (One should say, USA-ian) propaganda keeps saying, and did not pay for it out of pocket.

Just because certain supplements aren't approved by the FDA it doesn't mean that they aren't approved by an organization.

hahahahha what the hell are the stupid drugs synthesized from? kryptonyte? I love science, but in many areas nature is far ahead than it. Science is catching up to nature's medicines, either you want it or not. How can someone so rational become so dogmatic? How come cancer was almost unkown of 150 years ago? We humans have become too arrogant towards nature and it's time we grow up and learn from it. We have not nor ever will conquer nature.

Take the coca leaf for example; over a thousand years ago South American indigenous peoples iscovered that chewing the leaf produced effects similar to caffeine coupled with a mild mood boost. The active ingredient in the leaves that produced these effects was later singled out by European chemists in 1855, the result was cocaine.

Many if not all drugs and supplements on the market today are Synthesized from the active chemicals/ingredients of such herbs, plants etc. hence to assert that all medicinal plants are completely ineffective is not entirely correct. How do you think the effects of the non synthesized ingredients in todays drugs were first discovered?

What kind of attention would you get?

[ababastingababa]

I agree completely. Liberals should never be in charge of anything!

The problem in Canada is systematic...

Many Greek people I know go to Greece to get drugs and treatment... Many Israelis go to Israel often for the same reason.

Try to get hit by a car on a Sunday morning and see what kind of attention you get at a Toronto downtown emergency room...

Cropper, you've wasted your time and worse you've wasted mine. if a few isolated medical horror stories is all the evidence you have to attack socialized medicine then you need to try harder or give up altogether.
