Pharmaceutical companies are amongst the biggest and most profitable companies on the planet. If a remedy could be synthesized from say lemon juice they would have done that already. Because they are a company, and I would argue, even greedy. Pharmaceutical companies are already guilty of giving us things that are harmful, you have to assume they've tested all the simple solutions already.
(This is not to disparage the good things they have done, just to say, especially in out pill culture, there are some problems)
So I agree with those saying that. Being sick myself I always come across many MANY people who say, do this it'll help, do that, you'll be cured.
When your as sick as I am, you look for help. But most of it is grade A bull plop. I haven't fallen for any of that, but always have my ear to the ground and am always asking my cardiologist and family doctor.
However, to the other side I do have to wonder what all the fuss is about. So you don't like them, that's fine. You don't have to go to them. Is it going to affect your care? No, probably not. In fact, it may help it. If people go elsewhere, you line is lessened.
And the people that are getting certified aren't doing anything huge or radical. They can't prescribe drugs. They can't do real surgery. They are basically removing warts and helping with diet. Both things that hey, anyone with a brain in their head can help with. We're not setting up people for big problems or lawsuits here that are going to severely affect the system.
It's interesting news, but I don't think it's important news. This won't be a problem or a slippery slope.
Same thing happened with chiropractors over the last 20 years.
