Life is such an ugly thing anyway, who needs it?
Well, you sure lost me. What in the world are you talking about??
Obviously, these people do not know how to handle well the concept of some people looking to alternative medicine as a source for healing. They see that it's working and producing results and so what they seek to do is regulate.
Why try to regulate something that you know is curing people's medical problems? It only makes you out to be part of the problem.

ME ! Over here!
Easy there, e-s.
Not all's lost; look here...
"Remedies can be fatal. For example, the Chinese ma huang herb, which contains ephedrine and helps breathing problems, caused heart attacks and strokes among some Americans using..."
Whadda ya think those Chinese are up to there with this *herb* anyway, huh?
Hint: The Chinese possess half the world's population.
...a *great* give-a-way at the next Democratic National Convention?

This work is important, imho, but I don't want to see the FDA, or WHOever, slap controls on anything that is actually found to be efficacious, as I'm 100% positive they will try to do. Thx for the ping.
Well, if the AMA was REALLY interested in CURING diseases, it might be different. But the main goal of the medical industry is profit. Of the 25,000 prescription drugs currently in use world wide, not ONE single medication actually CURES anything, and many are not only ineffective, but toxic or dangerous.
(CURING disease is not cost-effective. Curing removes potential customers, which in turn causes losses in revenue.)
It had been built with several multi-million-dollar donations from wealthy cancer patients whose lives he had saved, extended, or whose quality of remaining life had been vastly improved. He had 175 patients (rich and poor) from literally around the globe.
His method? In layman's terms, he uses arthoscopic techniques to cut off the blood supply to and from tumors by mechanically closing the arteries and veins, or blocking them with various compounds. Then, he somehow injects the tumors with compounds he derives from snake venoms extracted at the hospital itself.
When I reported this to medical friends in the US, I was greeted with hoots of derision by all of them ...almost. Last year, one of the US doctors was kind enough (and intellectually honest enough) to send me an article about the NIH's research in this direction.
There is an awful lot of quackery out there ... but too many original "babies" are being thrown out with the bath water.
This Argentine doctor is also intellectually honest enough to admit his failures along with his successes. He also says he has NOT done the the double-blind studies required by researchers around the world, but has been working empirically. He is sharing his results with people around the world, hoping that they will back him up with the trials necessary to establish the true worth of the treatment.
Considering that many of his patients are already at Death's Door when they arrive, his results have been impressive, to say the least.
