I love how many people mention "studies" by "accredited" sources

they don't realize that studies and experiments have controlled variables that are not released

they don't mention that "accredited" in all objective truth means "on the payroll" of big Pharma.

There are billions of dollars at stake to "prove" pharma drugs are safe and effective

also the ethical concern of powerful lobbies and FDA bias and corruption

and the pesky fact that chronic disease and death are higher than ever

[apachejunction1]

It's all about money and nothing else the fact remains to some people we are of highest value to their game when we are sick or in case of transplants dead ! This is the sad sick truth there is no money in good health ! Only in gloom and doom ! The mission is accomplished we are sicker than ever chronic disease everywhere one might say it is a pandemic of sorts . Funny how since 76 when 46 million took a flu vaccine nothing has been the same it has all been down hill since then !!

GOOD ANSWER FUNYGUISE!!!! Anyone who disputes natural medicine has an agenda, and is probably an agent for BIG PHARMA! Is there anything lower than someone who wants to profit from other people's MISERY?????

[nickatnoon61]

ALL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS HAVE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS! Make your own COLLOIDAL SILVER for pennies, and NEVER get sick. I haven't been sick in 13 years, since I started using CS! I also NEVER use un-natural personal care products,ie soaps, shampoos, deodorants, perfumes, etc. MAN-MADE=POISON, NATURAL=HEALTH..........

Mercola, that has to be the best picture!

You look like you just had the most cleansing of bowel movements.

Keep up the good work.

[wolfhalen]

well said !

[wolfhalen]

agreed :)

the medical business' says almost nothing about cultivating good health

instead they treat symptoms, and good doctors who promote well known ancient health remedies are vitually hunted down and destroyed

that is not to say there are no scams in the alternative medicine realm either

[apachejunction1]

this is drug pushing / dealing and I also hate the fix one thing break 3 others which is how I see it happening ! Pharmaceutical reps are drug dealers and pushers and they get paid like dealers too ! just my wacky opinion and observations

[apachejunction1]

I mean this bacteria is like the H1N1 or the it is causing death that appears to be flu so how can anyone be sure what is going on . Yes some drugs may be helpful but what the hell is going on when you go to Dr office people are sitting with shoe boxes full of prescriptions and bags full I call the

[wolfhalen]

statistics show that prescription drugs, are killing FAR MORE people than "natural remedies"

whether by misdiagnosis, interactions, or misuse

yet the no. 1 target of the FDA pharma machine is natural remedies, and vitamins labeled to help with a given illness.

Now I am not suggesting that no pharma drugs are of benefit, or that mainstream medicine helps no one. But the worship of pharma drugs and their endless side-effects should be 'questioned'
