1959 Quackery - Good Educational (part I)

We're used to laughing at videos from the 1950's which show overly-conservative social values, stereotypes and primitive science. However this video shows how we may have taken a few steps backward.

Although it may contain some 1950's sexism and idealism, it illustrates how medical education and regulations seem to have gone in the wrong direction in recent times.

Questionable medicine and quackery is a bigger problem now then ever.

Listen to this. It may be old. It's more relevant than ever

This is pretty amusing, yet it seems to be even more relevant today with all the quacks on the internet pushing their garbage.

The market is a powerful discriminator of both useless medical remedies and the relative stupidity of the purchaser thereof. No matter how many "licenses", and "rules", and "bureaus", and "(food and drug) administrations" there are, they will never, ever surpass in their theoretic benevolence the stupidity of the general public.

@markfheil i think people are getting more stupid!

Those poor, innocent drug companies! All they want to do is make us well and how do we repay them?

Money? Well they don't know the meaning of the word!

Recent U.S. Gov't statistics list medicine (that is approved medicines) as the ninth leading cause of death.

Not that I want to go back to the time before the FDA when people were selling poisons to their customers as a matter of course.

If my mother should come back talking like that with a big bag of tea i would kiss her and jump to the roof. I have to buy teas for my mother. She goes to the official quacks, school medicines legalized; they give stupid pills full of shit.

@tnkaiser, I think we've come to a point where regulation is no longer a reasonable answer. I think we need to move towards deregulation and let survival of the fittest take its course. People are ignorant, because alot of them have believed for alot of their life that they can trust authority figures and big business. You can't, you can't trust anyone. The mainstream medical establishment is no different. They only want wealth by leeching off people and people are stupid enough to buy into it.

@markfheil, I know, theres so much quackery being pushed in the media. Half of the commercials on tv are promoting a drug and you'd have to be a delusional idiot to take alot of these drugs. Even over the counter medication shouldn't be consumed. I havn't taken so much as a pain reliever in years. Drugs serve a purpose, like with treating an injury or a severe, sudden illness. Thats about it, I hope you're not fooled by the mainstream medical establishment.

@themaclady, YES! There is alot of nonsense being taught in schools. But it might have been worse a few decades ago. At least more people are now realizing eating natural foods and exercising promotes being healthy. And the fact that the mainstream medical establishment wants to keep people alive, but on medication so it can make more money. Some people are nearly incapable of realizing that truth, but its slowly changing for the better. People are starting to question more and more.
