Why are Alternative Docs and others so greedy for money ?

[Guest guest]

Bruce reports that I am too conservative with my numbers. Bruce

clocks US expenditures for alternative health care at 700 billion

dollars per year. This is very big money by anyone's measure. I

wonder who the big beneficiaries are. I have heard that major

pharmaceutical companies have been buying up nutritional supplement

companies and herb companies -- perhaps to better assure compliance with Codex.
