What about freedom of choice, something we conservatives are supposed to be all for? If someone would rather go to a heath food store than a pharmacy what business is it of anyone else? It's their body.

Plenty of alternative therapies have proven useful in controlled, double blind studies. Others have not. Plenty of prescription medications have had to be removed from the market after proving to be harmful, so FDA approval is no guarantee of anything.

I trust consumers a lot more than I trust the likes of Dick Durbin and the proponents of the cradle-to-grave Nanny State to make intelligent choices about what to put into their bodies. The last thing we should do is allow socialists more power over our personal lives.

There was a thread here not too long ago that vaccines are being pulled out from under the current department that approves them because of conflict of interest between the people that approve them and the pharmaceutical companies.

Everytime we turn around there is a new vaccine for this and that. What I'd like to know is why no one ever talks about the fact that vaccines are not without danger.
