Question:
treatments would be more widely used. But that failure lies at the feetof altmed, because as proponents, they have failed to provide evidence.Even when evidence is presented, it is not accepted if it doesn't fitthe agendas of the bureacrats who cut the checks. On top of that, thepolarization makes it difficult to discuss viable alternatives with anyobjectivity. The only sane recourse is to keep steadily supplying theinformation for those who have the ability to think for themselves andmake informed choices. Arrogance and intolerance abound at both ends ofthe spectrum, but the "middle path" is still available: http://www.vitaletherapeutics.org

Answer: I agree with all I read above, although I do not know how this particulardiscussion got started.

It is extremely difficult to come up with the kind of proof that allows you,as a seller, to state that so and so, which you sell, cures this or that,unless you are selling an "ethical" product that you can patent, and thusafford the expense of studies to get FDA approval.

In spite of this, the American public spends about as much on alternativemedicine as the other kind, I understand, and that is astounding. Yet, whenthe National Institutes of Health got a very small grant to allow them toinvestigate a very few alternative therapies it was attacked by conventionalmedicine establishment. (If they are so sure the stuff is no good, just whydo they complain? After all, if it is no good, the study is going to provethat.)

I wish I could remember, but about two months ago either Time or Newsweek hadan issue devoted to alternative medicine. In that magnazine was a one pagearticle from someone who was obviously a representative of conventionalmedicine industry, i. e. a lobbyist, who was complaining about the grant tothe NIH for research. (They have a very large appropriation overall,incidentally, and this grant, I believe, was less than 1% of their totalappropriation).

He complained about them being "forced" to look at these alternativetherapies. (Just when does a public agency complain about the opportunity toput on more help?

Pharmaceuticals cost twice as much in the U.S. as other countries, yet ourpharma industry is the less taxed on its income, paying less than 20%.

Do you doubt that somebody owns the "best politicians money can buy"? (ThatI why Ihope to be able to vote for a pres. who supports term limits andlimits on lobbying expenditures).

Oh, if only the pharma industry would have to pay just 1/2 of 1% of the moneyspent on the promotion of its products to fund the NIH to do studies on theefficacy of alternative therapies (which are natural and cannot be patentedand no co. will ever spend money to get FDA approval).

Do we really want to be limited to a second best kind of pharma product thathas to be changed in some way from the natural so it can be patented? A goodone of these has less than one half page of side effects and cautions, insmall print!

I have used magnetic therapy for ten years. I have become intrigued by allthat one can do with this. You literally can, taking everything intoaccount, likely care for yourself using magnets better than using doctors andall the medicines. I have used this for cleaning my arteries, regeneratingnerves, curing infection, (including as a substitute for root canals, andstopping chronic prostatitis), and curing chronic joint pain and inflamationwhich Ihad for up to 20 years.

In the January issue of Alternative Medicine the lead article is aboutinsulin therapy for cancer, mentioning a 30 for 30 cure record. The articlestates that cancer cells cannot live in an oxygenated, alkaline environment.This environment was created by the insulin treatments, but it also can becreated by use of the negative magnetic field. Either method obviously curescancer.

(I have never had cancer. I think I have a good prevention program in place.But as the neg. field cures cancer the same way it kills microbes, by keepingthem from converting energy, which all things have to do to live, I acceptthat the neg. field stops cancer too). I greatly respect the mainspokesperson, Dr. Wm. Philpott, of Choctaw, OK, and he would not be right onall the rest of the picture about magnets and so wrong on this one point.Anyway, he did not dream it up. This came from the work of Albert Roy Davis,experimenting for years with rats, and similar research by MadellineBartholny PhD.

All these things are suppressed with our system. The article in AlternativeMedicine points out that this was done back in the 50's in New Jersey by aphysician who was not an oncologist, and the oncologists there successfullygot the licensing board to get him to stop, with the threat of using hislicense!

I think the interests of all of us are more important that the embarassmentof the oncologists!

As a matter of fact, in my mind, the suffering and death of my mother mighthave been avoided if this had not happened in New Jersey.

We get to get a bit more impertinent, and not bow down and worship when weget shafted.
