  2. rhylmart says:

    Pharaceuticals have PROVEN negative side effects

  3. keymasterninja says:

    BTW ram, bloodletting is still done as “alternative” medicine in parts of the world, it’s all the outdated stuff too…

  4. ramcity says:

    Sure Keymaster. Whatever you say.

  5. keymasterninja says:

    @openbookguy
    Medicines are tested on a double blind basis, the doctors don’t know who is getting what either. The tests are then done again, done by scientists who have no ties to the medical community and so on, it takes around six years.
    If they are called ineffective after six years testing… it’s because they’re ineffective. Stop with all your conspiracy theory BS please and think logically about it.

    @ramcity : “alternative” medicine have been around for thousands of years yes, that is exactly why you should stop thinking they work, when first looking into medicine, all we had was the alternative. What we tested and proven to work became “traditional” medicine. All you’re paying for with Alternative medicine is a persuasive man/woman convincing you it’ll work and the placebo effect. It’s literally all in your head

    yay! nonsense!

  8. ramcity says:

    If you look at traditional medicine 100 years ago and look at where it is today then think about where it will be in another 100 years from now. Todays medicine will seem as primitive as bloodletting. Whereas “alternative” treatments like acupuncture and chi-gung healing have been the same for thousands of years. So before you discount the idea of invisible energy fields think about what we are all made of. Cells, molecules, atoms. We are all walking energy fields.

    I agree with 2xtream. This is not about cures. We have not cured any major disease since polio. Lets face it. Anything that is not patented gets poop pooped by the Doctors which are trained by the AMA. Which I might add are on also on the board of directors for the pharmaceutical companies… Hummm.. No wonder those cheap cures like vitamin C, ozone Autohemotherapy and H202 are called infective. They work!!

  11. todoke says:

    Acupuncture has been studied
    And the funny thing is, it does not matter where you put the needles in. The effects are the same.
    In other words. It helps in many cases, but those “special acupunture spots” are bullshit.
    Its probably mostly a placebo effect anyway

    Flirmy,
    How are they “snake-oil salesmen” if it’s FREE? Much of modern medicine including chemotherapy is just as effective as “snake-oil”. Research the facts.

    From the very first image of this clip, I said to myself, “Oh, fuck.” This is really alarming.

  14. BinkieMcFartnuggets says:

    They said those Kinoki foot pads would get rid of my scalp boils!

    OK she can walk around my bed doing the reiki thing but I am afraid it only works if she is below thirty and cute and naked. Only then will I relax.

  16. 2xtream says:

    It does not pay to cure cancer or any disease. It pays much better to manage the disease for years rather then cure it. Why waist Billions of dollars in curing a sickness when you can milk billions from the sheep. Cancer along with most all disease including AIDs has had a cure for many years. All it takes is a little study but many people don’t have time to study because there to busy on their Xbox.

  17. PerfectionObsessive says:

    A cheap form of placebo

  18. totodyal says:

    root doctors FTW!

  19. Flirmy says:

    snake-oil salesmen preying on gullible people

  20. AlexanderPimm says:

    yeh western medicine claims that the natural methods and old ways are not proven, however the western minded practitioners of medicine have never tested them, and they refuse to test them because they want ot keep making drugs they can charge enormous amounts of money for that might actually kill you. Acupuncture was rejecting simply because it would defy the western medicine notion of how the nervous system works. no one wanted to challenge it they just arbitrarily decided it was no good
