Even if that herbs and such work it dosent make this test work. |
Ever research how many MILLIONS of people die from your "safer" medicine? I'd encourage you to do this before making a blanket, generalized statement like this. Imo, this can be a very dangerous opinion to ascribe to if you
really believe this.

I have to take conventional medications, but there are side effects to all medications.
I used to be skeptical, but I've seen Chinese medication work. That does not mean that I don't use conventional medication for Katie and me. I would definitely have to know something about who was making them, just like I want to know about the company who makes vitamins I take. |
EXACTLY. Any of us who've spent 2 minutes working in the medical field have a responsibility to be honest about just how many people die and/or have severe side effects from these "safe, scientifically tested" meds every single solitary day. Let's not pretend that the FDA isn't a colossal mess, as it has been for
decades, that is actually run by former drug company executives!!! If that's not a racket - a serious conflict of interest entity - then I don't know what is. "Scientifically tested" and "approved by the FDA" does NOT = just plain safe. It means it's safe for a majority and that's an important distinction to those in the minority who either die from the drug or have severe / debilitating side effects.
