Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Scientific research had proven many alternative treatments are better than standard treatments on many illnesses. Scientific methods are just as important in Alternative medicine as it is in standard medicine but often neglected. Alternatve medicine lacks respect as many people look to alternative medicine for a magic cure to believe in and become victims of the many sweet talking charlatans who have no conscience about lying to take your money. One way to tell if something is snake oil is to ask for the ingredients. You can research the ingredients to see what scientific research has found. If they hide the ingredients then you can't check it out and it is likely SNAKE OIL. I know my post will anger those who want to believe in magic cures and the Charlatans who want their money. However I post to alert those who don't want to be victimized, to the dangers that seem to be running rampant on the Internet chats like this one.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Have you not heard of the news about the new antibiotic that was approved by the FDA? I think the name was something like Ketex but I may be remembering wrong. It caused the death of someone. In fact a member of the FDA quit his job because it was approved knowing that it was dangerous. Sorry I do not remember his name but it was on the news.

Start any treatment, either " alternative " or mainstream, cautiously and take note of how it makes you feel. The only doctor whose opinion really matters is the one within. But putting your faith in the FDA? Don't we wish. The FDA is heavily influenced by Big Pharma. Its main function appears to be the protection of the pharmaceutical industry from natural competition. Sorry if this sounds paranoid. Ien in the Kootenays http://freegreenliving.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
