Health Freedom: Freedom for Quacks from pesky government interference.

Astounding science!

 

[torchbearer]

But we can't have that, it would put physicians out of business.

If i have something wrong with me, and i don't know what it is- i will go to a physicians for a diagnosis and possible treatment plan.
I will go to my pharmacist and pick up what i need. no need for a barrier to my medicines.
and if its a medicine i've been taking for a decade and its still working, why they fuck do i need to pay for a permission slip for a refill?

So the physician can get some more money.

Radio host: "We have diseases that are clearly based on genetics" Fuchs: No! Not true, that's another falsity.

Fuchs: Goes on tho talk about epigenetics (More on that later, when I find what you need to know about that topic)

Radio host: "Explain to my your cure for Type 1 diabetes?"

Fuchs: "Well, hmm Type 1, very simple to do, you mean Type 2? Type one is an allergic diabetes ... nobody knows what caused it, ... get off dietary allergens, get off milk ..."

Radio host: "Can you show me some actual cures of Type 1 diabetes:"

Fuchs: "Get children off allergens" Recommends getting children OFF milk! and to go to a website "NotMilk.com".

Donnay, this guy clearly incompetent or is a fraud. How can you not see he's full of it? You must have been suckered a lot in your life.

Science is hard. I know it's a lot easier to listen to what you want to hear and protect your cognitive dissonance from exploding your brain, but really Donnay you need to learn about medicine and reject the "advice" from obvious scammers.

BTW, I gather from this particular 6 minutes, that radio host David Coursey is one of the rare radio I've heard that actually asks the right questions to these bullshiters. Most just just go along and agree with them, with total lack of journalistic integrity. Often the radio commercials are touting useless products from the scammers.

I bet Ben Fuchs has been disciplined by the medical boards and is no longer able to sell real medicine. This fraud needs to be exposed.

Hahahahaha! Sell real medicine? Real medicine to you is...?

So who do you REALLY work for? You are such a brown nose and a snitch. You do not care about liberty or health freedom. You're one of those people who love seeing people controlled. You push such quakery, it truly boggles my mind--methinks doth protest too much!

Maybe you ought to call the Amazing Randi to help your case a little better, you think?

Not on topic but a bit of trivia,
As an aside, a little tidbit: What is a cause of grey hair as you age? Hydrogen peroxide inhibits the synthesis of melanin,
'With advancing age, hydrogen peroxide builds up in larger amounts in the hair follicle and ultimately inhibits the synthesis of the colour pigment melanin.' This is due to the decrease in the enzyme catalyse at the cellular level, and H2O2 levels build up at the hair follicle.

Also copper deficiency is another reason hair turns gray and skin get liver spots.

Makes me wonder if copper is not an necessary mineral in the production of catalyse enzyme.

can i please buy the medicine I need at the pharmacy without a barrier?
i could be dying from acute hypertension in front of the pharmacy window and they can't aid me without a paid for script.

From a Liberty standpoint, I agree with you. Besides, they let you control dosage and many (if not most) drugs will kill you with the wrong dosage.

You should be able to get any medication you want, but remember that you're not a doctor and curing an acute hypertension with homeopathy WILL kill you.

The compromise is an OPEN pharmacy, where you can buy what you want, including MMJ, but the job of the FDA would be advise people of the products safety risks. I don't even think the FDA should be in the business of efficacy. The private market can do that, but for safety, it's best if both the private methods (civil lawsuits) and the gov be involved.

Why not continue with this sarcastic idea of 'Freedom for Quacks from pesky government interference' and expand it!

Let's take on religious quacks! All these religions can't ALL be right, so surely this justifies a government agency to protect the public from these preacher quacks!

Let's take on movie review quacks! The public SHOULD NOT be duped by bad movie reviewers (and we know there exist bad movie reviewers because they contradict each other), so surely a wise and impartial government agency can oversee the movie review business to make sure the public doesn't get bad information from naive/ameatur reviewers.

While we are at it, we definitely have to do something about media quacks... Look at all those contradictory often proved wrong positions. We definitely need a federal mass media commission to ensure reporting accuracy!

What about freedom from political quacks? We know politicians frequently give us bad and self-serving information, so why not create a federal agency to monitor them?

Then there are voter quacks...that clearly don't know how to vote. Surely we need to create an agency and an information minister to make sure we know the truth. Maybe even remove the rights of voters dumb enough to disagree with the information minister.

curing an acute hypertension with homeopathy WILL kill you.

1. How many people die per year as a result of homeopathy?
2. How many people die per year as a result of science-based medicine?

Swiss "healer" accused of intentionally infecting 16 people with HIV using acupuncture needles

(CBS/AP) GENEVA - An unlicensed acupuncturist in Switzerland has been accused of intentionally infecting 16 people with the HIV virus for over a decade, authorities announced Thursday.

The office said in a statement that most of the victims attended a music school that the man operated.

Thanks. The next time I'm in Switzerland, I'll avoid unlicensed acupuncturists who operate a music school.




Oh btw, how many people die per year from licensed doctors practicing science-based medicine?

Some questions don't deserve an answer.

What percentage of the population uses homeopathy? What percentage uses science-based medicine? There's a reason you're in the uber-minority.

Homeopath AND Mormonism in the same speech. Now that's a great Sunday morning!

Skip the bizarre introduction, the good stuff starts at around 2:00 and it's good till the end. It's also pro Mormon!

Homeopathic Medicine: Europe's #1 Alternative for Doctors

France

Homeopathy is particularly popular in France, where it is the leading alternative therapy. In 1982, 16 percent of the population used homeopathic medicine, rising to 29 percent in 1987, and to 36 percent in 1992 (8). In 2004, 62 percent of French mothers used homeopathic medicines in the previous 12 months (9). A survey of French pharmacists was conducted in 2004 and found that an astounding 94.5 percent reported advising pregnant women to use homeopathic medicines (10).

Homeopathy is popular not only among the French public but also among the French medical community. As many as 70 percent of physicians are receptive to homeopathy and consider it effective, at least 25,000 physicians prescribe homeopathic medicines for their patients. Homeopathy is taught in at least seven medical schools: Besancon, Bordeaux, Lille, Limoges, Marseille, Paris-Nord, and Poitiers, and there are numerous postgraduate training programs. Courses in homeopathy are taught in 21 of France's 24 schools of pharmacy, and also taught in two dental schools, two veterinary medical schools, and three schools of midwivery.

Today it is the most widely used form of alternative medicine in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Approximately 500 million people worldwide receive homeopathic treatment.

And are they any healthier for it? No. It's called a placebo effect, and it's quite common.

I guess it is much better than toxic effect, eh?


Besides I thought you weren't go to discuss this anymore with me because I do not subscribe to government science?

I put up the stats, and you guys swarm in, once again, with your unfounded arguments made by science on governments payrolls.

 

[James Madison]

I know of no 'toxic effect'. Perhaps you could enlighten us.

Besides I thought you weren't go to discuss this anymore with me because I do not subscribe to government science?

Dafuq is 'government science'. Science works on its own. When I read a journal article I review their methods, experimental design, and if their conclusions match the data. I then determine whether the article is sound or quackery. Funding from the government shouldn't factor into the equation. You, instead, have already decided that all science funded by the state is bunk without looking into the evidence presented. Shooting the messanger, I see. It's much easier than understanding difficult concepts.

I put up the stats, and you guys swarm in, once again, with your unfounded arguments made by science on governments payrolls.

No. You cherry-pick annecdotal evidence largerly unrelated to the discussion to make your arguments. You lack knowledge in microbiology, immunology, and medicine yet you're comfortable posting articles about concepts you do not understand. How do you know if they aren't just selling you a line of bull; that maybe they prey upon the scientifically-illiterate? But I know why. They fit your narrow worldview that anyone on government payroll is an evil sociopath. Again, shooting the messanger.
