My point is that if homeopathy or any of the other "alternative" things that you're supporting worked with any consistency, there should be a lot of studies to back them up. If homeopathy can cure cancer, then why aren't there dozens of studies to prove it?Yah, of course there are some cancer researchers looking for a cure - I saw a video a little while ago of a guy who found a way to target and kill cancer cells by burning saltwater. He'd been contacted by big pharmaceutical companies to sell his research but he refused because he was sure they would take it and suppress it.
The main people I think are corrupt in all of this are the head honchos that everyone seems to believe in.

what a load of crap, the goverment would LOVE to find out all they needed to do to cure cancer is to change peoples diets. They would be extactic, the health budget is the biggest item in the states and probably the second biggest for the commonwealth.
You think a big corporation couldn't/ wouldn't find way of tarting up a simple remedy and marketing it at a high price?
It's really help the profit margin if there was a cheap solution.

What big corporations would really hate is if people learned critical thinking skills, and stopped buying woo woo nonsense such as Kinoki footpads. But we both know there is absolutely no danger of that ever happening, and the gullible will continue to be fleeced out of their hard earned cash.
The only people making more money from this kind of solution would be farmers and grocery stores... I don't see how those could be marketed better :bugeye: As for the footpads I've never seen or heard of them and they seem like a scam.
Diet on the other hand has a very logical basis for the cause of disease and health - after all, our bodies are made up entirely of either what we or our mother (while we were in the womb) eat.
Not unless there was a conflict of interest and it would be in their favor to keep the pharmaceutical companies happy - after all, if all health were as easy as having a proper diet, the pharmaceutical companies would go completely out of business - I'm sure some very powerful people that wouldn't like that.
And all media sources I'm aware of are constantly telling us that the health of the average person would be far better if they stopped eating so much fast food, ate less food, and exercised more. It's everywhere, you can't not know it. But it continues to fall on deaf ears. Humans like to do what makes them feel good in the short term, and to hell with the long term consequences. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, the list is quite extensive.
Asguard said:you forget who the biggest consumer of pharmaceuticals actually IS. The only reason the goverment wants to keep them on shore is so they can be extorted to keep the prices down (look at the difference in price between Australia and NZ). If they didnt need them at all our goverment would LOVE it. They could save so much money
You hit the nail on the head here. The diseases that plague us now are ones that are caused by long term eating and lifestyle habits - symptomatic medicine (aka western medicine) is futile against them.
Only because people will not take their doctor's advice. What can anyone do about individuals who refuse to listen to good advice, and smoke until they die of lung cancer? Nothing.
or they could give shitty treatment that just barely keeps people alive at primo prices and keep a bunch of sick people and their families in indefinite servitude.
how does that benifit the goverment?
firstly they are less likly to be re-elected
secondly it lowers there tax base because if people are sick then they cant work which means they cant earn money and there for dont pay tax (something the US doesnt seem to understand)
thirdly it costs them more both in disability benifits and in direct health care outlay
God are you a conspiracy nut
