The same applies to herbs and supplements, only more so, since the strategy of that industry is to get everyone taking them whether they need them or not.

The strategy of the drug companies is to push the use of prescription drugs whether you need them or not. Secondly, the push is to use the poisons so that more poisons ( drugs) can be prescribed for the unavoidable side effects.
Why is it so hard for you to see the truth? Have you not outlived your initial indoctrination and brainwashing to the point that you can now think logically or are you still drinking too much flourine in your water?

But there's no proof that pharmaceutical drugs improve outcomes any more than nutritional products. All drugs do is suppress symptoms which then go on to create more insidious diseases in the body. This was proved by hahnemann is his study of chronic diseases, some people even died shortly after the suppression of some skin condition with drugs. See The Chronic Diseases, their Peculiar Nature and their Homoopathic Cure. by Dr Samuel Hahnemann at http://www.minimum.com

No Peter, that's the goal of the pharmaceutical cartel to get everybody taking drugs whether they need them or not. That's why there is a huge number of kids on ritalin rather than looking at their diets and eliminating artificial additives.
Herbs have been around for centuries and used by the common folk routinely. However, you should read The Rockefeller Drug Empire by Hans Ruesch, available online which demonstrates the corruption of medicine by huge donations to influence medical schools.

There is no proof because pharmaceutical companies compare their products to previous versions of the same product rather than alternative remedies.
http://www.cancertutor.com/WarBetween/War_Approval.html Chapter 5: The Approval of Chemotherapy Drugs Increased Survival Time But let's suppose that this particular drug had "increased the survival time" of the patients in a study. Finally, you say, proof that chemotherapy works, I can get back to my chemotherapy. Not so fast. What does it mean to say that a chemotherapy drug "increased the survival time?"
It means that it increased the survival time of patients relative to some other chemotherapy drug or some other combination of chemotherapy drugs!! In other words, to my knowledge, never in the history of medicine has a drug company proven that their drug extends the life of a patient relative to the avoidance of all chemotherapy drugs! "Survival time" is only measured by comparing one or more chemotherapy drugs to one or more other combinations of chemotherapy drugs.
In other words, this corrupt government agency, allows the B companies approval of their cars as long as they can prove their car model is better than a car model from another B company! In other words, the B companies don't have to compare their cars to one of the G company models, only to B company models. If a Company B2 model has a better rear view mirror than a Company B4 model rear view mirror, then it can get approved by the government agency.
Likewise, chemotherapy drugs only have to be compared to other chemotherapy drugs. They do not have to be compared to "no treatment" or "treatment refused" patients, only to other chemotherapy drugs. Nor do they have to be compared to alternative treatments for cancer, such as the Kelley Metabolic therapy.
Study this next quote carefully! "We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison." --Dr Glen Warner, M.D. oncologist
In other words, all "scientific evidence" for chemotherapy drugs is to compare them to each other or to see if a tumor shrinks or to see if some benchmark changes. Never is chemotherapy compared to alternative treatments nor is it ever compared to no treatment at all. This type of deception is designed to give the public the impression that chemotherapy drugs are constantly improving and soon chemotherapy drugs will actually cure cancer. Nonsense, the chemotherapy drugs are only being compared to each other. What is getting better over the years is their techniques of deception.
"If you can shrink the tumour 50% or more for 28 days you have got the FDA's definition of an active drug. That is called a response rate, so you have a response..(but) when you look to see if there is any life prolongation from taking this treatment what you find is all kinds of hocus pocus and song and dance about the disease free survival, and this and that. In the end there is no proof that chemotherapy in the vast majority of cases actually extends life, and this is the GREAT LIE about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation between shrinking a tumour and extending the life of the patient." --Ralph Moss

It is only since doctors have been asked to report possible adverse effects of herbs, that we have started to uncover them. I suspect many herbal preparations are safe simply becasue they contain negligible active ingredients . Others are dangerous because of herb substitution and contminants.

You have a good point there: the manufacturers should be required to report adverse events themselves. Giving them an exemption was bad law.

The people don't need to be spared from the possible harmful effecs of drugs, but rather the pharmaceutical cartel who are driven purely by profits. They are in the business of disease, they like to keept he people sick because they get more profits. If they knew how to cure a disease they would keep it quiet because it would cost them money and profits. They don't need defending. They spend enough money on bribes to doctors and politicians, and putting out propaganda against alternative medicine, without having you defend them as well.

And the information is just as good as your previous claim that the pharmaceutical companies make more profits than the rest of the Fortune 500 combined -- despite the fact that a quick check would show that GE *ALONE* makes more profit annually than all of the pharmaceutical sector, by your own quoted numbers.
Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Kevysmom - 10 Feb 2008 03:05 GMT CHICAGO (CNN) -- Adverse reactions to prescription and over-the- counter medicines kill more than 100,000 Americans and seriously injure an additional 2.1 million each year, researchers say.
Such reactions -- which do not include prescribing errors or drug abuse -- rank at least sixth among causes of death in the United States, behind heart disease, cancer, lung disease, strokes and accidents, according to a report published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association. The report was based on an analysis of existing studies.
"Serious adverse drug reactions are frequent ... more so than generally recognized," the researchers said.

Please do not cite an > anti-medicine web site. Peter, surely you do not expect a medical or pharmaceutical site to quote the number of deaths from adverse drug reactions. To do so would be an admission. You only have to look at the "class" payouts to realise that something is seriously wrong. I would think the figure of 100,000 is ultra conservative and perhaps you may care to elaborate on how many deaths you believe are caused by adverse reaction to medication and how you support that number given all the class actions.
Don't forget to allow for the Silent Majority whom may well say "Well they died but we cannot afford to question the Doctors" or "We know what happened but cannot afford to pay for investigation or legal action" or "sh.t happens, lets read the will".
I suspect the Silent Majority deaths outnumbers any recorded deaths from adverse reaction to medication.
Cheers Rod
