" What is the point in going into the Alternative Medicine category with the sole

purpose of discrediting it? "

Here is my answer :

The point is just to discredit what works and could jeopardize private financial

interest.

I need your help and your vote as a group of skeptics invaded the Alt medicine

groups and are trying to censor the truth..

Despite all the campaigns against supplements and alternative remedy :

There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according

to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data

System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison

Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths

from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from

vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal

product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba,

ginseng, kava kava, St. 's wort , valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines,

ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from

creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any

homeopathic remedies.

Lets think together... The USA's official health care, in the past ten years,

ranked anywhere from 32nd to 72nd in quality. Also the number of death by

medical errors are around , each year, a 800 000 deaths ...

On a ten year basis the number of iatrogenic deaths is more than all the

casualties from wars that America has fought in its entire history . See the

numbers and why at :

Then after the 10 bad votes received in few hours .. I wrote :

EDIT : Don't shoot the messenger : I am just giving you few numbers here :

According to the American Cancer Society in 2004

Male : 47 % chance of getting cancer.

Female : 38% chance of getting cancer.

According to WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer at a news

conference National Cancer Institute of Mexico

Cancer Rates To Double by 2030

Do You follow ? 47 X2 ? or 38X2 ?

Average cost of cancer $ 500 000

According to the highly respected German epidemiologist, Dr. Ulrich Abel from

the Tumor Clinic of the University of Heidelberg success rare of the so called "

" Cures " :

2 to 3 %

As confirmed by an investigation of the Department of Radiation Oncology,

Northern Sydney Cancer Centre, Australia, The overall contribution of curative

and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated

to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA. "

Clinical Oncology (2004) doi:10.1016/j.clon.2004.06.007

IMO The 2 % to 3 % success rate could be attributable to the use of supplements

as 85% of the cancer patients use alternative medicine as complementary.

" Cure is defined as being alive 5 years after diagnosis and patients who fail to

" complete " conventional treatment protocols are excluded from overall

statistics...

Some well informed people know about this :

In a survey of 79 oncologists from McGill University Cancer Center in Canada, 64

said they would not consent to treatment with Cisplatin, a common chemotherapy

drug, while 58 oncologists said they would reject all the current trials being

carried out by their establishment.

So do the maths again and check my sources please..
