| Good point. Everyone is living longer. I think I may prefer to live a shorter life if living a longer life means suffering with one foot in the grave for 10 more years. |

| I appreciate his funny twist on speaking the truth. I love how he makes a public spectable of them...triumphing over them in it. |

| Do you know if Bill is in favor of "alternative medicines?" |
| And who funded ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| And who funded those studies?I'd guarantee it's the pharmaceutical industry.So of course there's no link according to them.Drug companies will do anything to protect their billions of dollars in profits.Mercury is a toxic deadly poison and it isn't safe in any amount.There's no such thing as a safe dosage of poison.And you're a fool if you believe otherwise.Drug companies are famous for hiding and suppressing negative studies to protect their reputation and their products.And I don't believe it. |
| Who reviews these ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| Who reviews these studies? The FDA. Drug companies will do anything to protect there profits, thats right...including making a safe product to sustain their profit making and assure their companies growth in the future. There IS such a thing as safe dosage, you are factually incorrect, and it goes against reason to think otherwise.Conspiracy theories fail under the increasing stack of cards needed in order to cover it up. Don't beleive it, fine but you fight without reason on your side.Crank. |

| Funny he didn't mention the problem in medicinal adherence once. |
| I dont trust the ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| I dont trust the FDA as far as I can spit. The FDA works for and with these companies to protect their profits and suppress any truthful information concerning alternative medicine.Even some scientist at the FDA claim they were pressured to suppress negative side affects of drugs while emphasizing the positive.They have even had their jobs threatend.Some scientists knew about the dangers of Vioxx before it hit the market. But they were told to keep quiet. I don't trust the FDA period. |
| Thank you for ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| Thank you for revealing your alterior motives (alternative medicine). Who do you think threatened people with their jobs? Why do you think so many drugs get recalled? Youtube comments?NO, the FDA. What you are describing is merely a conflict of interest..which leads to your irrational beliefs. I have a motivation to kills my parents because I stand to inherit a couple million, do I..no, but I have a conflict of interest and if they were killed I would be suspect. |
| Sure its no perfect ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| Sure its no perfect, and drugs that slip through or aren't thouroughly tested enough cause harm. Whats the alternative? Alternative medicine? HA, thats NOT EVEN REGULATED AT ALL. Not tested, not researched. They cling to the argument from antiquity like its actually valid, when any rational person knows its a fallacy.There was a recent news story about a whole bunch of ppl in idia dying because they were taking some woo-woo pills with excessive lead in them. You could literally go outside |
| and pull off a leaf ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| and pull off a leaf and put it in a bottle and sell at your little fairy-shops. What do you think are in these medicines. THE SAME DRUGS THAT ARE IN THE EVIL BIG PHARMA PILLS. The difference is they are tested and regulated and measure out so they aren't harmful. Again, its not perfect and some drug companies I'm sure have blundered. But if we know about it...its not such a good conspiracy theory is it..? BOTTOM LINE: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM, IT IS UNFOUNDED. |
| The reason they ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| The reason they aren't tested and regulated is because they can't profit off of something natural.Anything natural can't be patented. That is why drug companies work so hard to keep this stuff suppressed.Because they don't want any competition.The pharmaceutical industry is the biggest monopoly in this country.And it's not some wierd coincidence. Why do you think they are so against importing drugs from other countries? It's all a big scam. You just refuse to see it. The evidence is there. |
| I'm not for anyone ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| I'm not for anyone taking anything natural or otherwise if they can avoid it. I believe a lot of health problems can be prevented. And in the case of something serious drugs have to be taken. But if I had a problem say high blood pressure, I'd rather deal with the problem naturally by changing my diet and lifestyle rather than spend the rest of my life popping a pill which in most cases create more problems. |
| Drugs aren't " ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| Drugs aren't "un-natural", they create a specific formula to profit off of. What motivation would they have to create a product that a) doesn't work or b) causes harm? In a free market, there is no incentive. An industry can't be a monopoly, that doesn't make sense, you are showing your lack of knowledge. Q: Why are they against importing drugs? A: Because other countries have other regulations that do not coincide with American regulations, the burden on the system would be huge and would |
| collapse. Alot of ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| collapse. Alot of health problems can be prevented, this is irrelevant to our discussion. Why do you then trust drugs only when it's something "serious"?When a life is at stake all of a sudden you trust "big pharma"?Why not eat some grass that cures cancer. I think if you understood the medical community you would understand that if someone came in with High Blood pressure they DO TELL THE PERSON TO CHANGE DIET AND LIFESTYLE, and use drugs as a last resort. |
| I'm not refusing to ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| I'm not refusing to "see" anything..you haven't shown anything. All you have said is conspiracy theories, that are baseless, unfounded, and suggest that thousands of people are conspiring to make a buck off poor, sick people and not help that at all. It falls apart under the weight of the conspiracy. The process of peer review and external validation are put in place for a reason. Until you have any evidence to suggest an entire industry is poisoning us, I'd suggest not arguing anymore. |
| Bill is funny but ... ( 1 week ago by GreenRed321) |
| Bill is funny but his rant isn't nearly as informed as many of you cattle blindly accept. I do agree, however, that preventative care, health education and a focus on lifestyle NEED to be the focus of health reform. It's called taking RESPONSIBILITY for you health. |
| When I say ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| When I say something serious, I mean if I'm in a car accident and my body is torn apart then you do what you have to do to save my life and relieve my pain. But I see no point in having people take drugs to deal with high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, arthritis, depression and a host of other ailments that can be prevented or dealt with naturally. All of the ads on tv do not tell people to change diet and lifestyle. They tell them to ask their doctor about a certain drug. It's all a racket. |
| I don't need prove ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| I don't need prove anything to you. The evidence is all over the place and it's not a conspiracy theory. I don't care what you say drug companies are nothing but blood sucking leeches, setup to capitalize off of sickness and disease. There will never be a cure for cancer or any other major illness. Because curing the disease will put them out of business. Their goal is to keep people taking their toxic drugs for the rest of their lives. Until they actually cure cancer, I have no faith in them. |
| "I don't care what ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| "I don't care what you say"----thats the point, you're closed minded and a lost cause.. GL going through life like this man, you're in for a real shocker... |
| Do you ever use the ... ( 1 week ago by kevinkills) |
| Do you ever use the thing between your ears? MEDICINE IS NATURAL, SO IS THE BLACK PLAGUE. You don't even understand the position you are arguing against. I'm done talking to you, you ignore logic and are completely irrational. Take care, I sincerely hope nothing midly serious ever happens to you and reject medicine because unfortunately you won't last long on seaweed. |
| I should be asking ... ( 1 week ago by exxodus29) |
| I should be asking you that. There is nothing natural about something someone created in a laboratory. Natural means as it is found in nature not in a chem lab. You're right about one thing there's no point arguing with you. So I'm done as well. And I don't take seaweed. I try to live a healthy lifestyle so I can prevent all of these pettly aliments. And so far it's working very well. |
