Really? The pharmaceutical industry does not determine which journal
articles are published. Further, with the internet, they can't surpress
anything.

don't kid yourself, the mass media, the medical journals, and school
textbooks are tightly controlled.

The conspiracy theory rears its ugly head.

Rather, modern medicine and science require that hypotheses and theories
be supported with evidence.

And for that very reason, they derail alternative therapies on cooked up
reasons before they get the chance to do any studies.

There's NCCAM - National Center for Complementary and Alternative
Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Medicine. Though they spent
about $1 billion in research on conjecture-based medicine (alternative
medicine), they have yet to find any evidence that any alternative
medicine works better than placebo.

Apparently the NCCAM is in charge of the NCCAM, which is like putting the
fox in charge of the chicken coup.
There is no independence.

That there is no independence can be said of your thoughts. This is
directly from an advertisement for a book that is very out of date. OAM
hasn't existed for 11 years.

The reason why research on alternative therapies are derailed is that
there is no scientific reason to believe that they work and no evidence to
support them.

Don't you know how old man rockefeller gave massive donations to medical
schools in exchange for them teaching pharmaceutical medicine?


You know about the four humours? That is what today's allopathic
medicine
will look like in 100 years.

There is a great book called, "Doctors" by Sherwin Nuland. He talks
about
the origins of the four humours.

The four humours are a classic example of ignorance of how the body
works.
That you support this ancient and disproven idea says volumes about your
inability to understand science and medicine.

Go back and read for comprehension dr jeff.

I have. I suggest you do the same. The conjecture of the humours (I say
conjecture, because there is no evidence for them) is utter rubbish. It
may have made sense based on what was known about the body in the 1500s,
but based on what we know now, it is rubbish.

As I said, in 100 years your allopathic medicine will look as stupid as the
four humours looks now.

Gee, I hope so. The reason why is medicine and science continue to learn
and evolve. While chemotherapy and other cancer therapy saves thousands
of lives every year, including over half of all people who get cancer,
I hope that it will look primative as the four humors does now in 100 years.

Enough said. You're ideas are not worth my time.

You obviously can't handle the truth.
Last thing we need in mha is another pharmaceutical stooge.

No, what you have is someone who can think independently.
